Just look at these. Your pixie ears have come out great. I split the stitch useing sewwhatpro on the one with double runs so i could easily put in the inserts.I also created a mirror image to make a matching pairless than three minutes to actually complete the pair which included the baste stitch to hold the fabric down.
I have put instructions up in projects on how they were made.
many many thanks for all your kindness. annie in the uk.

23222Annie - these are so cute. Is the basting stitch good on SWP? Haven't used it yet.

yep fantastic go to "TOOLS" and then hit baste stitch , you have a choice of two, one is around the pattern and the other around the inside of the frame. I often slightly enlarge the one around the pattern and i also use both when needed
you can do a repeat of the baste stitch just by clicking on it and doing the copy / paste on the machine
I love that becasue i use the first outline to place my material if its a small design like the ears and then the second secures the fabric. the first one allows me to cut the fabric so a closer size and so save wastage.
hope this answeres your Q.

I assumed you could mirror easily on your machine, thought all embroidery machines had that feature. My Brother 190D doesn't allow the built-in Disney designs to be mirrored, but it works for everything else - and that's my cheapest (or should I say least expensive) machine.

yes it does mops but its actually faster for me to do it in the software program and then sew out in pairs inside a baste stitch block.annie
