General Stitcher Settings 46 - The first several settings refer to how the pattern will
be stitched. These settings are based on the current CS default settings.
Pattern Name - the name of the pattern highlighted in blue.
Stitches per Inch applies to this pattern.
Pattern Speed is measured as a percentage of maximum motor speed. '50' means
50% of the maximum speed.
Tie Stitches Per Inch is the size of the stitches taken when doing tie-off stitches.
Tie Stitches is the number of stitches taken when doing Tie-off knots. Half are taken
in the direction of the pattern and the other half are in the opposite direction.
General Pattern Settings 46 - The remaining settings refer to the pattern size and
placement. If the pattern needs to be a specific size, now is the time to change it.
The same holds true for the Freeze Aspect setting and the Selected pattern
Rotation.
Pattern Width is the width of one pattern, measured at the widest point.
Pattern Height is the height of one pattern, measured at the tallest point.
Freeze Aspect - 'ON' means the ratio of Height:Width remains the same when the
size changes. So, if one of the dimensions is changed, CS will change the other
automatically to keep the ratio the same. 'OFF' means CS will allow the ratio to
be distorted.
Margin is the closest distance between the stitch lines and the boundary lines.
Note: Below the General Settings area there is a context sensitive ‘help’ area.
Clicking on any of the General Settings will provide a brief definition of that
setting.

Step 4: Defining a Boundary
Boundaries are used in many of the CS techniques. They might be required by a
technique (such as defining the quilting surface of an E2E design) or used as a
convenient reference for guiding the placement of patterns. Either way, they
synchronize the quilt top with the screen image.
