Creating Fill Areas

Create Fill areas with the Quick Create, Freehand Create, or Point Create functions.

Fill Areas are areas of fill surrounded by a border. The fill can be any of the fill types, or ’No Fill’. The border can be any of the line types, or ’No Line’.

You can select your fill type, and the line type for the surrounding border, in the Create toolbar before creating the fill. Alternatively, change either the fill or border type afterwards using Area Properties.

Note: You can change any fill type into another fill type, or into a Satin Area.

Create holes at the same time as the fill with QuickStitch™ + AutoHole, or add holes to an existing fill with QuickStitch™ Hole, Freehand Hole or Point Hole.
