Use the Open Object tool to digitize open shapes of single/triple run, satin, blanket, patterned or craft stitching. Open Object places a row of stitches along a digitized line. This tool is typically used to add borders to designs.
1Select an outline stitch type.
2Click the Open Object icon.
3Digitize the shape, by marking reference points around its outline.
Click to enter corner points.
Right-click to enter curve points.
Follow the prompts in the Status Bar to help you digitize. If you make a mistake, press Backspace to delete the last reference point, then continue adding reference points or press Esc to delete all the points so you can start again.
4Press Enter to complete the shape.
If you decide to close the object, use the Edit > Close Curve ... commands with the option of using straight or curved points.
