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

The Use Object tab allows you to select object outlines from the design window and apply them directly as stamps or save them to a library for future reference. You can use vector or embroidery objects as a basis for stamps.
