Set the number of repeats for the horizontal line of designs from 2 to 40.

Size

Use Size to set the width of the Multiply zone from 10.0.mm to 1000.0 mm. in steps of 0.1 mm.

Mirror

Use Mirror

 to reflect the designs to form pairs. Each alternate copy of the design is reflected.

Use the Multiply Horizontal Options

  1. In the View Tab View_Tab_icon01195.jpg of the Design Panel Control_Panel_icon01197.jpg, ensure that the Canvas is set to 100mm x 100mm in size.
    Note: This is the initial setting for the Canvas.

  2. Load or draw a design.

  3. Select the design with Box Select Box_Sel_icon_cp01199.jpg, Point Line Select Freehand_Point_Select_icon01201.jpg, or Freehand Select FreeHand_Sel_icon_cp01203.jpg.

  4. Drag the design upwards and to the left to move it a short distance from the center of the canvas.

  5. Click the Multiply Tab Multiply_Tab_icon01205.jpg in the Design Panel Control_Panel_icon01207.jpg.

  6. In the Multiply Mode section click Horizontal

    . Three repeated designs can be seen either side of the original. Blue Multiply lines run vertically.

    8. Horizontal_Multiply01213.jpg 

    The initial settings are 4 Repeats, with the Size of the Multiply zone set to 25.0mm.

  8. Set Repeats to 5. At least one of your designs is outside the Canvas grid, and the central blue line may cross your design.

    9. Horizontal_Multiply_2.jpg
    Pale blue lines mark out the other Multiply zones.

  9. Set the Size to 20mm, so that the designs will fit within the Canvas grid.

    10. Note: Use Size to fit designs within a Multiply zone. Increase the Size to move the designs further apart. Decrease the Size to move the designs closer together, and to overlap them.

  10. Ensure that your original design is between the two central heavy blue lines, then click Mirror

    . The designs form facing pairs.

  11. Move the central design to the right towards its reflected copy. The designs now overlap.

Note: It is often desirable to adjust the Size until designs are touching or very close together when creating an embroidery, as this will reduce the number of movement stitches.
