Click Preview and a circle of daisy designs appears on the work area.
The daisy designs appear a little sparse. More designs would create a better circle. -
Increase the number of Repeats to 10 and click Preview again. The circle now looks more balanced.

Use Reveal Groups
on the FilmStrip or context menu to adjust individual daisies in the chain. When exported, your chain may have three or more colors, depending on the amount that the flowers overlap.
Use Combine, ColorSort and Remove Overlap when exporting to reduce the number of thread color changes, and to prevent areas of stitches building up if repeated embroideries overlap. See Export.
