Quilting
See how the quilt will look when the three layers are quilted together, before you choose. The quilting is a drawing only: it does not change the cutting.
Choose a quilting design
Under "Quilting" in the quilt panel you choose a design "Over the whole quilt" (lines, grid, waves and frames), "Curves on a grid" (Orange Peel, clamshells and arc flowers), "Following the patchwork" (in the ditch, round the blocks, echo and a cross in the blocks) or in "Free motion" (meander, loops, fans, Square Feather and feathered frames). Lines, the grid, waves, the curves and Square Feather can be turned: the lines run down, across or on the slant, the grid turns into diamonds at 45°, and you can type an angle of your own. The spacing, thread colour and thread weight can be changed, and the borders can have a design of their own.
The button with the quilting icon in the bar at the bottom shows and hides it in the quilt view. The chosen quilting goes into the picture of the quilt, the pattern booklet and the last step of the sewing steps.
