This pattern will be used later as the stepping stone to create a more complex embroidery pattern. Follow the instructions in this section step by step. If you have to interrupt this exercise for any reason, it is recommended to save the file (refer to Step 9, "Saving the file", on page 38). You will be able to retrieve it later and resume your work.
