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.
