* Remember to measure in the same direction that the pattern will be sewn. The
measure function calculates the angle automatically, so use that angle as the
squaring angle. 
 
* Measuring the block diagonally will give the height, width, length and the angle of
the diagonal. 
* It is important to understand how the angle rotations are defined. 
   CS measures the angles by rotating counterclockwise.
To transfer measurements to pattern details . CS remembers the...

Reset to Designed  - this choice allows the original pattern dimensions to be reset.

Spacing  - The pattern placement can be adjusted as desired. The Horizontal
spacing affects the space between the repeats. The Vertical spacing affects the
space between rows. Space can be increased (positive spacing) or decreased
(negative spacing). CS automatically includes the spacing adjustment when it
calculates the Total Width and Total Height of the area to be quilted.

 the patterns. But, why
do you need to? CS will plan the quilt patterns and will stitch them with absolute
perfection. Unfortunately, quilts wont ever be that perfect, so this is the time to
create reference boundaries. 
It is a fact that borders and blocks are rarely square, so by creating a reference
boundary around them, you will...
