Circular Array
Circular Array  uses one pattern to make a completely different composite
pattern. It begins with a single design then repeats and rotates it for a completely
different look.  CS only needs to know which pattern to use, how many repeats are
needed (or how many degrees between each repeat) and where the...

*  Click on the words Place Array Center point and the cursor changes to a small
crosshair.
   
 In the preview area, click where you want the center of the circular array to be
placed. The center point does not need to touch the original pattern - in fact, the
results are remarkably different!

4.  Type in the number of copies. 
5. Click on the flower icon or the words Place Echo Pattern. 
An hourglass will appear while CS creates the echo pattern. Be Patient because it
might take time. The larger the Echo pattern, the longer the...

Apply Pattern
Apply Pattern  - means to use one pattern as a path, and a second pattern as a
repeated design that will be stitched along that path. Choose a path pattern that is
simple and choose a  P2P pattern
 for the repeated design.
Resize the patterns as needed. The Path pattern should fit the quilt space. The P2P
size should be small, but not less than 0.09 inches.  
Have both patterns selected. Highlight the P2P pattern in the pattern list and...

An option for this heart pattern is to divide the path pattern into two segments.
Apply the P2P pattern to each half and reconnect the parts. 
Each part of this new pattern will stitch out in the order it was placed on the Preview
area. So, the original path pattern will stitch first, then the applied pattern. Delete the...

Node Mode
Nodes  are an integral part of every pattern and can be displayed when needed.
Every pattern is made up of segments (lines or arcs) and nodes. The beginning and
ending of each segment is a node. Two contiguous segments share a node (the
ending node of the first segment is the beginning node of the next segment). When
a pattern is divided, it is at a node. When a pattern changes shape it is done using
nodes. Designers can alter the stitching...

  Designer Nodes
 are a special type that allow changes to the stitching settings.
They can be used to change the stitch length (SPI), the stitching speed, or can force
a pause in the stitching process, perhaps to allow a thread color change. There are
three keywords which cause the settings to change, and they MUST be typed...

It is worth noting that the calculations are done based on the speed assigned to the
pattern in the project. If the speed had been increased or decreased while stitching 
prior to the Designer node (using the buttons on the keypad) that modified rate
would be ignored, and the calculation would look only at the rate assigned to the
pattern in the list. 
  
The third Designer Node keyword is an abbreviation = SPI . This also is followed
by a number which is actually...

3. Hover over the endpoint to be divided, until the cursor shape becomes +. Then
press the letter D on the keyboard.
The original pattern is now 2 separate patterns.    
Tip:  If the pattern needs to be divided at a specific place, and there isnt a node at
that place, it is possible to add more nodes. Isolate (divide out)...

Order Join
Order Join  - is a process that checks all the pattern segments on the screen and
 automatically makes them continuous if possible. This connection is based on their
relative positions. This is especially useful when a pattern has had numerous
changes to it.
In the following example, a flower pattern was chosen, but needed to be simplified to
fit the space. Using  Node Mode
, the center lines in the pattern were divided and
removed. The...
