*Simplify the drawing so that it can be drawn as a continuous line. If sewing continuous patterns, the height of the start point and end point should be the same. You can obtain a more attractive finish if you make the intersections cross over to make a closed design.

2.Mark coordinate points at each point in the pattern where the direction of the stitching changes, this will maintain the shape of the pattern as it is sewn.
