Liquid Effect is similar to Florentine Effect except that you enter twin guidelines for stitches to follow. Turning stitches are distributed evenly between guidelines to produce smooth curves. Liquid Effect guidelines are digitized outside the object, rather than over. While you can apply the effect to any closed shape, it overrides any existing stitch angles.
1Choose a suitable input method and stitch type, and click Liquid Effect.
2Digitize outline, entry and exit points following the prompts. You are not prompted to digitize a stitch angle.
3Digitize the first guideline around the outside of the object. You must enter at least three reference points.
4Press Enter. You are prompted to enter a second guideline. Elastic lines appear joining the two guidelines.
5Digitize the second in the same direction as the first, marking at least three reference points.
Note: The two guidelines must not overlap or intersect the object outline.
6Press Enter to apply.
Tip: Use the Reshape Object tool to modify guidelines.
