How-To Create a P2P Triangle using a Modular Design (MD) P2P
Triangle Base and an MD Topper.
Select a P2P Triangle Base design and place on CAD using Repeat Patterns. (In this example we have
used the MD Feather P2P Triangle Base.)
Select a Topper design and place on CAD using Repeat Patterns. (In this example we have used the MD
Feather Topper.)
(Note – If you are doing this exercise in SAM, make sure you slide the base design down a bit on the CAD
before placing the topper design to avoid having the patterns stack on each other when you place them
on the CAD.)
Select the topper and move it down so the bottom of the topper nests nice and close to the tip of the
base design.
Now select the base design, right click and select divide.
(Note – always select the base to divide – they have been digitized to make it easy to divide and connect
to the toppers.)
Next – Zoom in close. There are 3 divide nodes you need to click on. 1.
2.
3.
Now using End Point Anchor (F11) and with End Snap on, select the left divided segment of the base
triangle and end snap it to the topper
Then select the right divided segment of the base triangle and snap that one to the topper.
Now press F8 (set sew order) and reset sew order. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Then press F8 again to commit.
Run Virtual Stitchout to confirm that it sews continuous. Select all, right click and save as CSQ.
Remember – you will only ever have to do this once for each P2P Triangle Base design and Topper
triangle combinations you want to create. You might consider setting up a folder on your computer to
store your Modular Designs… and if you have PVM – don’t forget to import these new designs.
With these modular designs you can create so many different combinations of designs. Don’t stop with
just triangles – Create blocks from the triangles – create frames from the base triangles. Use the P2P
feature and create E2E designs.
Most of all – have fun and enjoy.
I’m always interested in your feedback and ideas –
