Add stamps to a library

Use Docker > Carving Stamp to define a pattern of needle penetrations using a ‘carving stamp’ as a template.

This procedure starts when you click the enabled Add to Library button either on the Use Object tab or Digitize tab in the Carving Stamp docker.

Tip: The Carving Stamp feature can only use vector or embroidery objects as a basis for stamps. If you want to use a bitmap image, you can convert to vector format in CorelDRAW Graphics using the Bitmaps > Outline Trace command set.
