| Hello, today I was trying to make a quick snowflake - so far it's taken two hours, LOL. I have broken it down into two groups, a larger group that comprises of five straight columns with a loop at the base and a smaller two section piece. As I was digitising the larger group I joined each straight section with a running stitch so there would not be any jumps. I needed eight sections of each group so I used the array icon which seemed to work well until I tried the redraw and realised all the joining run stitches had been lost and so I had lots of connecting jumps. Has anyone any idea what I am doing incorrectly please, so that I lose my joining runs? |

Hi Kiara,
I tried to create something like you described but am not sure, whether it is nearly what you are talking about LOL I have an Inpute-C object, a runstitch line following and another Input-C satin column. I grouped those 3 objects and tried with array, as well as with the wreath tool and it worked like expected. 8 groups following each other, nothing lost.
Can you upload the original group as well as an image of what you want to have?
Or feel free to send me an e-mail, I am curious, what the reason might be.

| Hi Barbara, can't quite work out what I am doing wrong. I deleted the original file, stupidly really as I should have kept it just to see if I could work out what is happening. I've tried it several times now and sometimes it seems to be OK but not others. I think it has something to do with the wreath tool, seems to turn some objects around, objects six and eight are the worst offenders and I've had to re-do the running lines completely after they have been 'wreathed'. I was using my eye rather than making exact measurements so I am not sure if I've turned it somehow??? It's the first time I have used the array or wreath features and I'm still looking for things to try the kaleidoscope feature with, LOL. Now if only I could play all day for the next six months or so I might think I am beginning to know enough of this software to really get to where I would like to be and know that I am doing things incorrectly rather than it being the way the software works. Thank you for taking the time to reply and I'll let you know if I work out exactly what I am doing incorrectly. |

HI Kiara,
If you can send an image of what you are trying to achieve I will produce a video for you to follow.
Perhaps if you set the start and finish points on the first object before using the array tool.
Regards
John

| Hi John, thank you for your reply and offer to make a video. I have made my snowflake now and have put the run lines in.
Can you help with this next problem though please? In the software I was using befor ES if I set the in and out points the travelling stitches would always be within the object, annoyingly sometimes but always within. I have just done the attached inside leg of a unicorn and have set the in and out points where I need them to join from the preceeding part and the next part but it starts in the correct place and then places a jump outside the object to the bottom. Is there a way to force the software to keep the travelling stitches inside objects??? Am I trying to control the software too much but I really don't want jump stitches. |
