Use Digitize > Digitize Blocks to digitize column shapes of varying width, setting the stitch angle at each pair of points. |
Use the Digitize Blocks tool to digitize columns of varying width with turning stitches. With this tool, you create the shape by marking reference points on alternate sides of the column.
Click to enter corner points. Right-click to enter curve points.
Mark a pair of points wherever the outline changes, and wherever you want the stitch angle to change.
The control points in a pair do not have to be the same type. For example, one can be a corner point, the other a curve.
If you make a mistake, press Backspace to delete the last reference point, then continue digitizing.
Press Enter to keep the last stitch and place the exit point at the last reference point you digitized, or
Press Spacebar to omit the last stitch and place the exit point on the opposite side of the column.
If you are joining two columns, omit the last stitch on the first column so that the exit point is close to the entry point of the next column.
