Use the QuickStitch™ functions QuickStitch™ , QuickStitch™ + AutoHole and QuickStitch™ Hole to automatically fill clicked on color areas of the picture with fill areas of small stitches surrounded by a border, a line, or holes in fill areas. QuickStitch™ can create lines and fill areas with or without automatic holes.
Set stitch options before creation, or after a fill area has been created, you can right-click it in the FilmStrip or work area to change its properties in Fill Area and Line properties.
Using the Edit tab tools, you can make a number of fill areas of the same type (e.g. Pattern Fill) visible and change them all with Global Properties. Alternatively, hold the Ctrl key and click the desired fill areas in the FilmStrip, then right-click one of them and select Properties; the properties for all selected areas will be changed.
Create a QuickStitch™ Area
Set stitch options, then click the QuickStitch™ icon or the QuickStitch™ + AutoHole icon.
Click in the color area you wish to fill with stitches.

Stitches representing the border and fill pattern set in the Options for Fill Area and Line appear in the area. For QuickStitch™ + AutoHole, any holes detected will be cut out.
Repeat to place as many fill areas as desired.
Right-click to deselect the function, or simply select another Create tool.
To edit the fill or the border, click the fill area to select it, then right-click it and change the properties in the Fill Area and Line Properties dialog. Click OK to save the changes.
