About Encore

Encore repeats the selected designs in a circle or ellipse, line, shape or hoop using the chosen position and number of repeats.

Note: You can use any number of embroideries with a line or circle, but only one or two embroideries with a shape or a hoop. To use more embroideries, Group or Combine them first.

With Line and Circle you can choose the number of Repeats. For Shape and Hoop the number of repeats is set by the size of the embroidery, the Gap and the Margin.

Note: Encore repeats designs in stitchout order, from back to front. In Shape and Hoop the embroidery that is first in the stitchout order is placed in the corners. Stitchout order can be changed in the FilmStrip or with the Layout Order commands.

Encore repeats an embroidery clockwise for Circle, Shape and Hoop, and from left to right for Line.

Note: If you combine multiple designs before using Encore, try to work from left to right. This will prevent trimmed threads from becoming caught under elements in the same color block.
