Fill with Multiple Motifs

Embird Studio NEXT enables the use of several motifs within a single fill object. These multiple motifs can be customized with options like scale, shift, angle, wave, and gradient. Software automatically manages motif sizing for seamless integration. This technique allows for the creation of complex, unique, and even random-like fill patterns in machine embroidery designs.

To utilize this feature, first create a fill object, then access its parameters and select Motif mode. Next, select the table tab.

Multiple motifs can be combined with all options available for a single motif, such as scale, shift, fill angle, wave, and gradient. However, all selected motifs must be of the same size. The user does not need to manage this, as the chosen motifs are automatically resized to match the dimensions of the 'master' motif, which is the motif selected in the Main Settings page. The master motif is also displayed in the top-left cell of the table shown below.

The tab for the table of multiple motifs is visible only when Motif mode is selected in the fill parameters window.

Use the Rows and Columns controls to set the number of motifs. It is possible to define a table of up to 3x3 motifs.

Setting the desired number of rows and columns defines a table of motifs that will be used to fill the object. Select predefined or user-defined motifs for the respective cells of the table. Then, click the Apply, Generate Stitches, or OK button to save the new settings for the object.
