Draw Commands

Draw commands initiate a process. The result of the drawing process is one or more boundary shapes or stitchable patterns displayed on the screen. The drawing can be created using the mouse or the stitcher or both, alternatively. The Draw Mode process remains active until it is terminated. Two of the most frequently used draw commands are Draw Boundary, and Draw Trim. These create reference drawings seen on the screen, and are both used to improve accuracy. The remaining Draw functions actually create stitchable patterns.
