Instant Repeat

From the Utility menu, select “Instant Repeat.” This will call up a window that lets you create a pattern of designs, copied from the current selection, and pasted in rows and columns.

 

To change the values, you can click the arrows next to each value, or type in a value and then click on another one to set it.

 

As you change the values, you will see your result on the main view.

 

Click OK to accept your new designs.

 

                 

Above: An example of a repeated design.

 

Notice how the preview enables you to see the pattern as you adjust it, which helps if you’re trying to fit an area, for example the hoop.

 

Note: The initial design will be the (top, left) design, and the copies will go to the right and down.
