Creating a Stamp

Stamps are composed of line stitches that, when they form enclosed areas or regions, the regions can be filled
with different types of stitching in order to create a pattern with an embossing/engraving effect. Stamps can be
applied to regions of patterns with the Stamp tool, and they can be used as a fill pattern for a programmable
fill stitch in both Design Center and Layout & Editing. In Layout & Editing, the regions of patterns where stamps
can be applied are those created with the Circle or Arc, Rectangle, Outline, Text or Manual Punch tools.

Open an existing fill/stamp pattern file (.pas

area as a limit for regions, lines must be
drawn over it first.
