Tips When Creating Edge To Edge Designs
- The beginning and end of your design need to be directly across from each other to allow you to re-hoop and line up the design easily.
- Turn on “Snap to Anchor” to draw continuously by connecting one segment (line) to the next without a tie-in and out. The red dot indicates that “Snap to Anchor” is on.
Edge To Edge Quilting Design Tutorial
Step 1: Draw your design. I used the straight line tool for simplicity, but you can use the Free Draw Tool for more complex designs.
Step 2: Select design > open Properties Docker. Change the Stitch Length and Stitch Style to what you’d like.
Step 3: Under Command > change Tie On to NONE > change Tie Off to NONE.
Step 4: Copy and Paste the design. I changed the color to green so you could see it better when lining up the designs.
Step 5: Drag the copied design so the Start point touches the End point of the first design.
Step 6: Select the last design.
Step 7: Open the Properties Docker > Commands > Change the Tie Off to Basic
Step 8: Select the first object.
Step 9: Open Properties Docker > Commands > Change Tie On to Basic.
Step 10: Save your design as a JDX file and then in your machine’s file format.
We can’t wait to see what you come up with for your next edge-to-edge design!
