Rotational ZigZag

Use Rotational ZigZag Rotational_ZigZag_icon_cp00707.jpg to draw stitches in a zigzag, at 90 degrees to the direction the pointer is moving. The stitch points are placed alternately on each side as you draw along the center of the zigzag. Draw in any direction to make a curving path of zigzag 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, either 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.
