Connectors link objects in a design. They can be run stitches or jumps. Travel runs are also used to connect segments within filled objects.
You can use automatic settings to generate connectors, trims and tie-offs, or add them manually. You can change connector settings for a whole design or selected objects. 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 objects’. Like-objects are thereby resequenced, connectors minimized, components grouped, and stitches regenerated. Underlay can be applied to all.
You can also set first and last stitches of a design. This makes it easy to position the needle before stitching, and reduces the chance of it hitting the frame.
