Draw Pattern

Draw Pattern will move one or more patterns to the screen, placing them precisely, based on click points the quilter chooses, using the mouse or the stitcher. You must use a Point to Point Pattern with the Draw Pattern feature. 

What is a Point to Point (P2P) Pattern?

A Point to Point or P2P pattern is a pattern a start point on the left and end point on the right. Both points are on the same horizontal line or plane. If you try to use Draw Pattern with a design that is not a P2P you will receive an error message.  In the example on the right, the maroon circles indicate the start on the left and the end on the right. The maroon line represents the horizontal plane that the two points share.

How to Draw Pattern

• Select a P2P pattern with your mouse. If you wish, change the Aspect Ratio to Locked or not locked to keep 
• Start the Draw Pattern process using one of the methods described earlier in this chapter
• Identify at least 2 points that define the start point and end point of the first pattern using the stitcher or the mouse. This is a sewable pattern that appears on the Preview Area. Continue using as many click points as needed to create the design. The end of one pattern automatically becomes the start of the next pattern.
• Complete the drawing (Click the right mouse button once, press Escape key, or press the “Close drawing” button on the keypad)
• Continue to make as many drawings as needed.
• Exit Draw Pattern process (Click the right mouse button a second time, press exit drawing on the keypad, click the icon again or use the keyboard shortcut.)
