Advanced Chenille Features

There have been plenty of recent innovations that have contributed to making chenille embroidery easier than ever. Automatic sequencing of chains and mosses for shapes with holes minimizes travel stitches, so you have cleaner designs that run perfectly on machines. Automatic filtering ensures that stitch angles are optimal machine operation. Once you have a handle on basic chenille embroidery, you can look at these advanced features to further customize your design.
Auto Hole
Auto Hole is a new feature available for chenille and spiro chenille segments. The Auto Hole feature creates a cut out using another embroidery segment as a template. For example, you can use this feature to allow a text segment to be placed in the middle of the chenille, without having it overlap. The Auto Hole generation process also adds a moss walk segment on the inside of the hole shape that is generated. The segment that you use to create the hole may be placed beneath, or on top of, the Chenille segment.
Cut Outline
A Cut Outline option creates an outline around a chenille segment. This outline is an artwork segment that matches the edge of the selected chenille, but is offset by a small distance. The chenille cut outline will be offset based on the outline of the chenille segment, rather than the edge of the stitches of the chenille. Any chain, moss, or lattice stitches of the segment may already have a degree of offset from this outline, based on the settings in the chenille properties. So, you may have to take these offsets into account when adding your cut line offset. Another setting in the Chenille Cut Offset Dialog allows you to set number of times the outline is repeated; subsequent cut outlines will be offset by once again as much distance as the first outline. For example, if the first is placed 3mm away from the chenille segment, the second will be at 6mm, and so on. The artwork segment generated with the Chenille Cut can then be converted to any type of segment (such as a laser cut, or a run stitch) that the operator can use to cut the chenille felt.
