Apply Pattern is a feature that uses one pattern as a path, and a second pattern as a repeated design that will be stitched along that path.  This requires two patterns. One in your preview window (Pattern tab or Project tab) and one on your CAD screen. The pattern should be a Point to Point (P2P) pattern meaning that its start is on the left and the end on the right and both are on the same horizontal plane. The apply patterns will snap together and sew continuously.  The size of the apply pattern does pattern as apply will attempt to keep the pattern as close to the original size as possible but distortion may occur as the path is followed so you will want to resize the pattern in pattern properties prior to applying the pattern.

| ### How to use Apply Pattern |   |
| --- | --- |
| 1. Resize the patterns as needed.  2\. Highlight the P2P pattern in the pattern list in the Pattern or Project Tab. 3\. Highlight the path pattern on the CAD screen. | ![Screen Shot 2022-04-14 at 10.30.51 AM](https://knowledgebase.gammill.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-04-14%20at%2010.30.51%20AM.png?width=688&name=Screen%20Shot%202022-04-14%20at%2010.30.51%20AM.png) |
| 4. Choose **Apply Pattern** using the icon, right-click menu or the drop-down menu command and repeats of the pattern will be placed along the path pattern.  | ![Screen Shot 2022-04-14 at 10.30.59 AM](https://knowledgebase.gammill.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-04-14%20at%2010.30.59%20AM.png?width=688&name=Screen%20Shot%202022-04-14%20at%2010.30.59%20AM.png) |
| 5. Delete the path pattern if you wish.  | ![Screen Shot 2022-04-14 at 10.31.05 AM](https://knowledgebase.gammill.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-04-14%20at%2010.31.05%20AM.png?width=688&name=Screen%20Shot%202022-04-14%20at%2010.31.05%20AM.png) |
