Contents Before Using Getting Started You can also set the sewing attributes using the Sew menu (see "Sewing Attribute Setting" on page 177). 2 Draw the broken line. Move the mouse to the start point and click. Move the mouse to the end point of the first straight line and click again. NOTE: You can always remove the last-entered point by clicking the mouse's right button. If needed, use the grid to help you draw the lines. You can set the grid so that each of its vertical and horizontal lines are visible. For more information on the grid, refer to "Grid Setup" on page 189. If you hold the Shift key down while moving the mouse, only vertical or horizontal lines will be drawn. 3 Repeat until you arrive at the last end point. At that point double-click. Curve Drawing Mode With the curve drawing mode, you can create curved lines. You create curved lines the same way as you create a broken line. Like a broken line, a curved line can be open or closed. If the line is open, the pattern will end at the last end point. An open line is considered a simple outline when setting the stitch and color. If the line is closed, the last point will be automatically joined with the first one to form a smooth contour. The contour has an outline and a region inside that can be assigned different stitches and colors. However, if the curved line crosses itself, the application cannot determine a region inside, and the pattern will be a simple outline.
