D-line Lesson

Elaine, from Queensland, Australia, has kindly sent these examples of D-lines in use.  

 A D-line is a direction line, and controls the direction of the stitches in a form.  They are associated with  fan stitch and other borders or fills that use the same fan stitch code, such as "convert to satin" or "feather stitch".  You will see a dark line connecting two form points where there is a "D-line".  You can control the direction of the stitches by dragging either or both ends of the "D-line" to another position. 

If you have any questions please email Elaine at australvista@yahoo.com.au.
