Motif fill settings

Use Fill Stitch Types > Motif Fill to create decorative fills using embroidery motifs to form repeating patterns. Right-click for settings.

You can adjust motif fills both interactively on screen and via object properties.

Spacing & offsets

You can adjust the exact row, column and spacing settings for motif fills. The default settings define a simple grid where the spacing equals the motif dimensions. The row offset is set to 0.00 mm so columns and rows are perpendicular.

Motif scaling

You can set the exact size of motifs in a fill. You can also scale Motif 1 and Motif 2 motifs independently. Adjust Size controls in the Object Properties > Fills > Motif Fill dialog.

Motif rotation

The rotation angle defines the orientation of the entire motif fill pattern. It overrides the stitch angle you set when digitizing the shape with Complex Fill. Enter a rotation angle in the Object Properties docker.
