Treatment of loose ends
Pro-Stcher has two ways of handling loose ends, or jump points, that are created from a crop: Open or
Closed.
To perform a eo at jump points
• Choose Open to perform a eo at the jump points in a cropped design. Select Tie O Start and Tie
O Finish in Sengs. For more informaon about the eo sengs, see Control how Pro-Stcher
performs e-os in chapter 8, Sengs Menu.
To stch between jump points
• Choose Closed to stch along the border of the cropped area between jump points in a cropped
design.
Machine Quilting Tip: To stitch around the cropped area
The Closed opon may not stch the enre area outline. Consider using Trace Outline to
stch around the perimeter of the area.
