Getting Started with CreativeStudio
required for the margins and bindings and the remainder is the
area to be stitched. Use the remainder as the target border
dimensions for planning the initial pattern size, the number of
rows and repeats.
The pattern placement sequence and stitching direction is also important. Patterns
will stitch out in the same sequence as they were placed, and they always stitch from
Startpoint to Endpoint.
In this example, the patterns were placed in the top border by doing:
* Corners first (Border/Corner 112
feature with 'Pine tree block-3') Pattern #1-2.
* Border pattern next (Repeat Pattern feature with 4 repeats of 'Pine Tree Border-3')
Patterns #3-6.
* Additional border pattern last (Repeat Pattern feature with 1 repeat of 'Bear moose
and pine'). Pattern #7.
The patterns will stitch out in the sequence noted (in the diagram above) which will
result in lots of tie-offs or dragged threads. A better method is to change the
sequence by turning off (toggle as sewn) some of the patterns.
To do this:
1. Turn off #5, #6 and #2 (toggle as 'Sewn').
2. Quilt #1, #3, #4 and #7.
3. Turn on #2 (toggle as 'unsewn')
4. Quilt #2.
5. Turn on #5 and #6 (toggle as 'unsewn')
6. Re-measure the distance between the end of pattern #7 and the start of #2.
7. Change the width of the last 2 patterns to fit that space.
8. Quilt #5 and #6.
4.3.1 Corners using Border_Corner
When a separate pattern is used for the corner, they are generally placed first. This
feature will resize and position that pattern into the corners.
Feature: Border_Corner
Assumptions: Quilt is loaded and stabilized, machine is threaded, bobbins
wound, belts engaged, and patterns have been added to the project. The Corner
pattern should be highlighted so the Pattern Details are displayed in the Properties
