Planning the Quilting
Quilt Pattern Setup and Edit
Edit Mode
Editing mode is easy as well as powerful. Always remember that "What You See Is
What You Quilt", so edit until the pattern looks the way you like.
Save the project.
3.5 Quilt Pattern Creating
Quilt Patterns can be stitched, restitched, resized, repositioned, rotated, twisted,
twirled, tweeked, combined and copied, all of which essentially create new patterns.
These powerful options require right clicking the selected pattern(s). It is also
possible to use any Windows font to create patterns enabling words or phrases to be
stitched.
Review of Selecting Patterns.
* To select a single pattern, (left) click on it once and it turns pink.
* To select multiple patterns, press and hold the Control Key down then (left) click
on the individual patterns. If the re-sizing handles don't appear immediately, (left)
click once on any of the patterns just selected, and the handles will appear.
* To deselect pattern(s), click on a different pattern or on any open space in the
preview area. Deselecting can also be done by pressing the Escape (Esc) key on the
keyboard.
3.5.1 Right Click Options
TIP: It is a good idea to select the patterns in order. Begin with the
pattern closest to the 'Start' point and click in sequence toward the 'End'
point. Some of the more advanced features of CS stitch the patterns in
the order they were selected, so selecting patterns in sequence is a good
habit.
Once the pattern(s) have been selected, right click anywhere inside the re-sizing
handles. A dialog box appears that provides more choices for Rotations, Sewing
Status and Creating New Patterns. The choices in the dialog box will vary depending
on the number of patterns selected. If the right-click options don't appear as shown,
left click the selected patterns first, then right click them.
