Create and use areas
A quilng area is a poron of the Pro-Stcher screen that represents an area on the quilt. Within this area,
you can place designs, repeat them, stretch them, skew them, crop them, and so forth, knowing that
everything within the dened area on the screen will match up with the corresponding area on the quilt.
Create an area at any point during the design process. You can create only one area at a me.
