Traditional digitizing methods

With the ‘Use preset styles for traditional tools’ option checked, five preset styles are activated. These apply to the Column A, Column B, Column C, Complex Fill, and Complex Turning tools. Default stitch type and underlay conform to the associated style. If you change stitch type or underlay, this applies throughout the current session. When the checkbox is unticked, current settings are used.
