Hi guys, I have looked around the Googles and this board and if this question has been answered I cannot find it, I am having troubles cropping after importing but before the final creation of the pattern. The options are rectangle, oval and freehand to clear part of the picture from either outside or inside the box depending how you have it set up. Is there a way when it is in free mode or other, that I can make a straight line? Due to illness my hand shakes too much to use freestyle anymore, and I'm cutting away triangles so rectangles and ovals will not do. I was hoping holding the SHIFT button or something would help, but if there is some sort of magic button, I have not found it yet, and if there is not a way.. that's a major shortcoming of this program. Thank you for your help!!

There is no way of a straight line other than the rectangle listed. What you can do is get it close and then manually remove areas later to get to what you need. You can do a straight angled backstitch line to border your area and then manually remove everything beyond that. Then remove the backstitch line. I would recommend an odd color not used elsewhere in the project for this marker line so you just remove the color rather than having to manually remove each line segment.

There is no such thing as a stupid question
