Use General > Carving Stamp to apply preset or custom patterns to create a pattern of needle penetrations.

The Carving Stamp docker contains four tabs: Use Pattern, Use Object, Digitize, and Appearance. The Use Object tab allows you to select object outlines from the workspace and apply them directly as stamps or save them to a library for future reference.
