3.3 Quilt Patterns<br />

There are a mattilion different quilting patterns available today. Good choices are<br />

continuous curves, also called continuous line designs. By definition, a<br />

continuous-line design has only one start and one stop.<br />

Block patterns 65 are usually a single pattern and frequently have the start and stop<br />

at the same point. Continuous line patterns 65 are multiple repeats of the same<br />

pattern, with the end of one pattern connected to the start of the next, along the<br />

same (straight) line. They also have only one start and one stop but not at the same<br />

point.<br />

Point To Point patterns 66<br />

must be continuous because the end of one pattern is<br />

connected to the beginning of the next. The connected patterns do not have to be<br />

along the same (straight) line.<br />

Choosing the right pattern for each section of the quilt is important. CS has several<br />

features that can create new patterns too.<br />

* Record function uses the movement of the machine head to create a new<br />

pattern.<br />

* Circular Array uses one pattern & repeats it in a circular fashion to create a new<br />

pattern.<br />

* The Group function allows individual patterns to be positioned, and then<br />

combined so the group of patterns now acts like a single pattern.<br />

* Text can be inserted as a pattern using any standard Windows font.<br />

The record function is part of Regulated Stitching. The Circular Array and Group<br />

Patterns are both (right click) Edit functions.
