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:
|
Auto Underlay |
Strengthen and stabilize objects with underlay stitching. |
|
Textured Edge |
Create rough edges and shading effects, or imitate fluffy textures. |
|
Automatic Corners |
Toggle mitre or cap corners in line objects with sharp turns. Can be turned on/off object-by-object. |
|
Couching |
Add couching cord for use with the BERNINA Free Motion Couching Foot #43. |
|
Star Fill |
Create radial turning stitching with available stitch types. Stitches are generated from outside to geometric center. Center can be shifted. |
|
Wave Fill |
Create contoured stitches along a digitized guideline – stitching maintains uniform density. |
|
Elastic Fancy Fill |
Create fancy fill patterns that follow stitch angles and are scaled according to object width. Right-click for settings. |
|
3D Globe Effect |
Create contoured stitches to produce a 3D appearance. Choose from pattern library. |
