Creating Quilting Patterns around a Design

Stippling, echo quilting, and decorative fill patterns can be created around the machine’s built-in patterns or original embroidery data without using IQ Designer.

  • If this function is used with batting sandwiched between two layers of fabric, the embroidery pattern and stippling may become misaligned.
    Stippling can be added in IQ Designer after the pattern is embroidered. For details, refer to Decorative Stitching Around a Pattern.
  1. Select the pattern that stippling will be added around.

    To select multiple patterns, refer to Selecting Multiple Patterns at the Same Time.

  2. Touch in the embroidery edit screen.

    • Stippling is automatically applied around the selected pattern.
  3. After specifying the stitch settings for the stippling, touch [OK].

    1. The stippling is added within the area of the selected embroidery frame size. If the pattern is larger than the selected embroidery frame size, the area indicating the embroidery frame size will appear in gray, and stippling will not be added.
    2. Specify the distance from the outline of the pattern to the stippling.
    3. Specify the spacing for the stippling.
