Use Free Motion 
to freely draw stitches, placing stitch points at the Free Motion Stitch Speed shown on the control panel.
Draw stitches on the work area using the pen on the drawing tablet (or with click-and-drag with the mouse). Stitches are added continuously while the pen is in contact with the tablet (or until the mouse button is released). Move the pen faster to add stitch points further apart, or slower to add stitch points close together.
Free Motion stitches can be drawn using any number of techniques.
-
Move the pen at a steady rate to emulate normal free motion embroidery, for drawing lines and outlining areas.
-
Use fast scribbling actions to fill areas with color and for shading effects.
-
Use small circular or spiral motions for lace effects, or for filling in leaves on trees.
These are just a few examples of how Free Motion can be used creatively.
Add as many sections of free motion stitching as desired. A Trim
will be added at the end of a section. Right-click to deselect the function, or simply select another tool.
For Felting Needle embroidery, increase the Free Motion Stitch Speed to increase the number of stitch points placed.
