Pattern arrangements (ABC)

Some Schiffli embroidery machines can read designs where repeated parts are stored only once in the design file and only the repeat instructions are given to the machine. EmbroideryStudio provides tools to define pattern arrangements and output to specific formats which support the feature.

Pattern arrangements are used by digitizers to save digitizing time. Lacework especially is made up of a few patterns which are repeated many times. Pattern arrangements mean that only the design elements to be repeated are digitized. The design file contains only the information needed to show how the design is to be repeated or mirrored.
