Pattern Commands alter how a pattern is positioned, stitched, copied and/or changed.

Pattern commands include:

  • Combine Patterns -- creates one pattern from the selected pieces
  • Convert -- can change a pattern, trim, or boundary to a different format
  • Flip Horizontal -- repositions the pattern by flipping it upside down over its axis
  • Flip Vertical -- repositions the pattern by flipping it over its axis essentially reversing left and right
  • Mirror Pattern -- creates a copy of the pattern and places it across a drawn axis
  • Cycle Handles -- is an easy way to change the pattern manipulation handles
  • Order Join -- will check for connections between pattern pieces, and modify the stitching sequence and direction so the composite pattern stitches continuously
  • Reverse Start End -- will switch the beginning and ending points of a pattern so it stitches in the opposite direction
  • Rotate Pattern -- rotates the selected pattern(s)
  • Rubber Stamp -- will make an exact copy of the selected pattern or group of patterns
  • Set Sew Order -- can manually change the sewing order of patterns
  • Toggle Patterns -- means to change the 'sewn' status

For more information about these specific commands see the individual help article available for each command.
