Cutwork Tool Circular Array Tutorial
Part 1
by Lodia Da Silva
Final Cutwork Designs Using Circular Array
In this tutorial Lodia will show you how the Array Functions in the Cutwork Program works. This is a very nice way of creating unique patterns in your designs. You can create different orientations or mirrored copies in the array. In this tutorial we will be looking at a few options for the Circular Array. The options for the Rectangular Array will be covered in a separate tutorial.
Arrays are clones of the whole design or a selected portion. You can select one or more objects and by multiplying them, you can create unique formations. You can apply more than one array function in the same design with different objects. While we apply the array, we have the option to select cloning the object. This means that if we need to make changes to the object, we can select the original object, reshape or change and then whatever you have done to the original object will be applied to all the other objects in the array.
Before applying the array, you can customize the number of copies, the orientation of the objects or mirror some of the clones.
