Use runs as connectors

ObjectProperties00007.pngUse Docker > Object Properties to toggle the Object Properties docker on/off. Use it to set runs as connectors.

You can use runs of single stitches to connect objects in a design. Because runs cannot be trimmed, they are visible on the final embroidery, unless another object is digitized to cover them.
