2.3 Tool Bar
Main Screen Layout
Tool Bar
The icons displayed on the Tool Bar (also called tool strip) represent unique quilting
features. The features can be initiated by using the mouse (to click the icon) or
pressing the Mode button on the keypad until the icon is highlighted, and then
pressing Select on the keypad. Each of the quilting features (represented by icons)
is described briefly here, and in more depth later when they are used in context.
Tip: Holding the cursor over the icon (called hovering) will display
the name of the icon in a ‘tool tip’. Using the keypad to select an icon
will display the name of the icon in the center of the Command Bar.
Boundary Icon 95 - Clicking on this icon will initiate a series of
prompts, asking for the points that define the bounded area. Boundaries may have
as few as 3 points (triangle) or may have hundreds (unlimited actually) of points. The
boundary can be any shape but is always a closed area and is limited in physical
size since the sewing head is used to define the points. The maximum size of the
boundary depends on the length of the table and the size of the sewing head.
Boundaries are used for placing patterns and for general reference. The concept of
the boundary is also used in specific functions like Trim and Edge-to-Edge.
Pattern to Boundary Icon 96 - Clicking on this icon will move the
selected pattern into the selected boundary. If the pattern and/or boundary is not
selected (highlighted), CS will display a reminder. Numerous boundaries can be
defined for one quilt group which makes it easy to place different patterns together to
see how they look.
