Area
A quilting
Area
is a portion of the HQ Pro-Stitcher
screen that represents an area on the quilt
(
Figure 5.16
)
. Within this area the quilter can place
their designs, repeat them, stretch them, skew them,
crop them, and so forth, knowing that everything
within the defined
Area
on the HQ Pro-Stitcher
screen will match up with the corresponding area
on the quilt. An
Area
can be created at any point
during the
Design
process, but only after a design
is loaded. If a quilter creates an area with no design
loaded, the area will not be visible until a design is
loaded.
Areas
can be created as a simple rectangle by
identifying only two opposing corners
(
2 Corner)
or
by plotting multiple points around the desired area
to create any unique shape
(
Multi-Point)
. The
Area
is fixed in position once it is defined and cannot be
moved. If the quilter must move or adjust the defined
Area
, first clear the
Area
and then recreate it.
To create an
Area
, press the
Design
menu button to
reveal the
Design
sub-menus
(
Figure 5.17
)
. Then
press the
Area
sub-menu button to reveal
the buttons for the
Area
panel
(

)
