Creating Stitches

To create two stitched shapes from one shape,

1. Enable stitching, as described in Stitch and UnStitch.
2. In the Multiple Patterning toolbar, click the Stitch icon.
   The command mode becomes stitch and the Stitch icon appears next to the pointer in the workspace.
   
   
3. Click the shape to be stitched.
   The shape is highlighted in gray and the stitch overlap area is shown.
   
   
4. Move the cursor across the shape to the location for the stitch.
5. (Optional) Enlarge or shrink the stitch overlap area by pressing the Ctrl key while moving the pointer across the shape.
   
   
6. Click to make the stitch.
   The shape is broken into two shapes of opposite colors, forming a different color group, with the desired overlap.
