Multiply

The Vertical Options enable you to set the number of repeats, set the Size of the Multiply zone, and reflect copies of the multiplied designs as facing pairs.

The initial settings use 4 Repeats and a Size of 25.0 mm in a 100 mm x 100 mm Canvas.

The Vertical Options are used with the Vertical and Tile Multiply Modes.

Repeats

Set the number of repeats for the horizontal line of designs from 2 to 40. The initial number is 4.

Shortcuts

• Keys: Alt, M, VR

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. The initial Size is 25.0 mm.

Increase the Size to move the designs further apart. Decrease the Size to move the designs closer together, and to overlap the designs.

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.

Mirror
