Define the design repeat

When working with Schiffli designs ensure that the:

EmbroideryStudio provides view and print functions to display the design in repeated form. It is only necessary to define design repeats so that the software can display and print/plot multiple repeats. In other words, you need only define the repeat value if you want to view the repeats.

Note: You can save grid settings in the template. It is a good idea to set up your Schiffli templates with grids sized for Schiffli work. When checking the design repeat, the grid can be used as reference for adjustments. See System Settings for details.

To define the design repeat...

1If you are using the Schiffli template, the machine type will already be set to Schiffli. If you need to adjust the default settings for any reason, see Schiffli machine formats.

2Select Design > Design Repeat. The Design Repeat dialog opens.

3From the Repeat dropdown list, select the repeat setting you require.

A design can be stitched by every needle (Repeat=4/4), every second needle (Repeat=8/4), or every third needle (Repeat=12/4), and so on. Repeat values increment in multiples of 4 up to a maximum of 96.

Tip: To check or adjust the repeat size, select Design > Machine Format Settings > Advanced. See Needle spacing for details.

4Click OK. The selected design repeat will be saved as the new default preference.

Tip: The repeat is displayed in the File > Information > Design Information tab on the same line as the file version.
