Stitch effects

The Effects toolbar contains tools used to create many artistic effects to create textured and curved stitching, color blending, and warping or ‘morphing’ stitching effects. While not strictly speaking a stitch effect, Auto Underlay can be applied to existing fills to improve the quality of the stitchout.

 

The Effects toolbar provides access to the following stitch effects:
