Branching

Connectors link objects in a design. They can be run stitches or jumps. You can use automatic settings to generate connectors, trims and tie-offs, or add them manually. If you prefer to add tie-offs and trims as you digitize, you can turn off automatic connectors altogether.

Hatch Embroidery also allows you to create ‘branched’ or ‘redwork’ objects. Selected objects are sequenced, connectors minimized, components grouped, and stitches regenerated. Underlay can be applied to all.

Branching is an advanced feature which lets you digitize similar, overlapping objects – e.g. the fingers of a hand, sections of a custom letter – without having to think about the most efficient stitching sequence and joins. Apply the command to join selected objects to form a single compound object. Components are sequenced, connectors minimized, and stitches regenerated. All component objects are grouped and selectable as one.
