Creating Motif Fill objects
Digitize Parallel Fill objects with the Parallel Motif
Fill tool to create decorative fill stitching using
current settings. Alternatively apply it to existing
Parallel Fill objects. You can select patterns, adjust
settings, or change layouts at any time before or
after digitizing.
Note The stitch angle has no effect on motif
layout.
To create a Motif Fill object
1 Choose a Parallel Motif Fill tool and digitize an object.
As soon as the entry and exit points are entered the
Motif Fill stitches are generated using current settings.
See also Digitizing complex shapes with fixed stitch
angles.
2 Double-click the Motif Fill object.
The Object Details > Fill Stitch > Motif Fill dialog
opens.
3 Click
Select to change pattern sets as required. See
Adjusting motif fill settings for details.
4 Select a pattern from the dropdown list and click
OK.
The selected Motif Fill object is updated.
Try this! Select a motif with no object selected and
click
OK to make the selection current.
Adjusting motif fill settings
You can insert a motif fill at its original size and
spacing, and then adjust settings later. You can
also set the exact size and spacing as you insert
the pattern fill. Spacing is the distance between
each pattern repetition.
Try this! Blackwork gets its name from the black
silk thread traditionally used in this form of
embroidery. Use the special Blackwork Fill
pattern set to create interesting scrolling or
geometric patterns.
To adjust motif fill settings

The Object Details > Fill Stitch dialog opens with the
current pattern in the preview panel.
