4. If no pattern segments are within 1 stitch length, CS stops joining the segments.
There are some important factors to mention - 
· CS ignores the original stitching direction of all component pattern segments,
resetting them all based on the reconnection rules.
· It is a good...

4. Place the background filler pattern(s) in the block boundary. Notice how the area
inside the heart does not show as part of the stitching. CS will stitch up to, but not
over, the heart.
 When the stitch line reaches the trim boundary it stops. Tieoff stitches are taken (if
desired) and CS does a jump stitch (moves to the next stitchable part of the pattern)
to resume stitching the background. 
Note: The starts/stops may or may not include tieoff stitches....

4. Place the background filler pattern(s) in the block boundary. Resize as needed so
they fill the space between the two boundaries. Now use the Fill Feature to add the
background.  This method is described in detail in  Fill Pattern
.  
By placing 1 or more  background patterns in  the block boundary, these patterns
can be...

2. Right click the pattern,  Choose Convert, Pattern to Outline.  
An outline is a stitchable pattern that is derived from the original pattern.
 
  Pattern to Curve
 - This choice is useful when using one pattern to create a
derivative pattern. Patterns can only be divided at the Endpoint nodes. If the original
pattern needs to be divided at a place where there is no endpoint node, this is a
good method adding nodes to the pattern.

and stitch it.
If the boundary was created using the four corners of a block, it may be tempting to
use this  for Stitch-in-the-Ditch finishing. If you do, go slowly and carefully because
seams are rarely ever straight.

boundary around the...

Convert Trim  
allows a trim boundary to be changed to a new function.
Trim to Pattern  - 
This choice was designed for people who choose to trim away
some part of a pattern, and then go back and outline stitch the trimmed boundary.
This hides the tie-off stitches that are sometime visible to the discerning eye. The
result is a nice, clean outline.
In this example, the meander pattern has been stitched up to the trimmed edge of
the heart...

Trim Pattern
Trim Pattern  - is a feature that allows a pattern to avoid stitching on a particular
section, which is defined by a trim boundary. The trim boundary can be created
using the sewing head (as explained here) or created on the computer screen in the
Preview area, using the mouse or touchscreen...

Tip:  If tieoff stitches are being used, make them tiny and use the competitive
Tieoffs. For people who prefer to hand tie knots and bury threads, change the
Controller Definition form to uncheck tieoffs, and check Bobbin Stitch and Stop at
Jump Stitch. Now CS will stop and you can leave longer thread tails to hand tie and
bury.

To begin, 
1. Define a boundary around the quilt block.
2. Define a boundary around the applique.
3. Choose a background pattern and resize it to fit the block.
Resequence the sewing order if needed. This minimizes the number of extra
stitching lines needed, when connecting one repeat to the next. 
4. Move the background...

Notice that the excess pattern (outside the block boundary) is gone. Similarly, the
pattern that would have stitched over the heart applique is gone. The remaining
pattern segments are connected with new segments that follow the boundaries, and
connect the segments in the same order they would have been stitched. 
It is important to note that this method does not stitch along the entire perimeter of
either boundary. Plus, in some cases, there will be multiple...
