Motif fill settings ​

MotifFill00059.pngUse Fill Stitch Types > Motif Fill to create decorative fills using embroidery motifs to form repeating patterns. Right-click for settings.

You can adjust motif fills both interactively on screen and via object properties.

Spacing & offsets ​

You can adjust the exact row, column and spacing settings for motif fills. The default settings define a simple grid where the spacing equals the motif dimensions. The row offset is set to 0.00 mm so columns and rows are perpendicular.

Motif scaling ​

You can set the exact size of motifs in a fill. You can also scale Motif 1 and Motif 2 motifs independently. Adjust Size controls in the Object Properties > Fills > Motif Fill dialog.

Motif rotation ​

The rotation angle defines the orientation of the entire motif fill pattern. It overrides the stitch angle you set when digitizing the shape with Complex Fill. Enter a rotation angle in the Object Properties docker.
