Pattern editing
DG 15
According to chapter 11 of the DG 15 User's guide, a user can modify or create patterns using the standard patterns dialog.
The following can be defined
- Stitch length (in 1/10 mm)
- Number of offsets (i.e. lines that will be stitched before the pattern repeats, typically 4 for simple design and over 10 for complex designs)
- For each offset, a percentage can be defined. Alternatively the patterns are displayed with lines and beads representing stitches. The beads then can be moved.
