Contour Echo is a stitch type for quilting, trapunto or decorative
effects. It provides different ways to echo around outlines and holes. When
echoing, you can set the distance for the echo in mm and also see it in stitches
per inch. There can be a gradient to the echo, and using the stitch properties
button at the top of the Echo properties page you can set the stitch style to
several of the Run stitch types.
You can choose from three styles:
1. Echo Outline Inward, which creates an interesting echo inside the shape.
2. Echo Interior Clipped requires any number of holes and will echo those out toward the outline. The shape of the outline is used to clip or cut the echoes.
3. Echo outline outward is a simple echo of the outline itself. You can echo as many steps as you choose.
The Contour Echo can be converted to a series of Run objects for further editing as desired by clicking the Run stitch type button in the Tool Pane.
