Correcting a “bow tie”
Regions are digitized as pairs of punchpoints (a point and a counterpoint, which appear with a gray line con-
necting them). When deleting punchpoints from a region, either the punchpoint pair or two punchpoints that
are in sequence should be deleted; otherwise, the region will “bow tie”, as shown below.
A “bow tie” also occurs when a punchpoint in a region is moved to the other side of the other punchpoint in
the pair.
To correct a “bow tie”, do any of the following:
Delete the remaining point of the pair.
Click the
Reshape
tool (
), click the punchpoint before the deleted one, and then click
Insert Point After
on the
Punchpoints
drop-down menu to insert a new punchpoint and correct the “bow tie”. Then, move the
newly inserted points to correctly shape the satin stitch.
On the
Edit
drop-down menu, click
Undo Delete Points
.
NOTE:
The last operation performed can also be undone by clicking the
Undo
button (
) in the
Ribbon
bar.
