Use Horizontal ZigZag 
to draw stitches in a zigzag, horizontally to the left and right on the work area. The stitch points are placed alternately on each side as you draw along the center of the zigzag. Draw straight down to make a straight column of zigzag stitches. Move from side to side to skew the column to the left or right. Use the side-to-side motion to create horizon stitches.
The stitches are drawn at the rate shown by the Free Motion Stitch Speed, at the current ZigZag Width.
Draw stitches on the work area by 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 spread out the zigzags, or slower to add zigzags close together for a satin effect.
Add as many sections of zigzag 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.
