Design Center Stage 3 (Figure Handle Stage)
Drawing a Broken Line
The line drawing mode allows you to add broken lines to your pattern. A broken line is made of one or more
adjacent straight lines, in other words, the end point of one straight line is the start point of the next one.
If the broken line that you draw did not create enclosed regions, it remains a simple outline, and you can only
set sewing attributes for the line itself in stage 4 (Sew Setting stage).
If the broken line created enclosed regions, you can assign sew types and colors to both the outline and the
regions in stage 4.
If you draw a line through an existing region, creating two separate regions, you will be able to set sewing
attributes for both regions separately, as well as for the separating line.
