example:
Fill Mode
In Fill Mode, you can make a pattern out of one line or many lines.
In the tool box, there is a selection mode tool, a point edit mode tool, and a line drawing mode tool.
Using these tools, you can freely input and edit lines in the Work Area to create your pattern.
The sewing method for Programmable Fill is different from the regular Fill, where the thread is con-
stantly sewn in a set direction. Instead, the pattern will be sewn in such a way that the needle drops
directly over the created pattern.
