With EmbroideryStudio, you can create bead run patterns for immediate use. Patterns generally involve multi-bead drops.

To create a patterned bead run...

1Create a bead-run object with Bead Run Auto or select an existing object. This allows you to preview your pattern as you go.

4Add or remove beads via the + and X buttons in the column header.

5Select a bead from the droplist. The selected sample updates immediately.

6In the Spacing field, enter a nominal spacing for each bead. By default, spacing is measured along the digitized line.
