The Continuous View is used to
see how items will connect when embroidered in a continuous hoop, or as a
repeated pattern. It creates a set of duplicate images which let you see how
your design will connect or interact with an identical copy. The image is not an
actual design – it is just an image for reference.
The offset setting allows you to inset a repeated element, instead of the default, 0, which aligns the image of the copy with the outer edge of the design.
