Clipping Blocks

The selected block can be clipped  either to the center layout’s edge, the quilt edge or blocks can hang over the quilt’s outer border.

Do Not Clip  Let a block hang over the quilt’s outer border by clicking this tool.

Clip to Border of Quilt  Clip a block at the quilt’s outer border by clicking this tool

Clip to Center Rectangle of Quilt  Clip a block at the quilt’s center layout edge by clicking this tool.

The Clip tools are found on the Graph Pad.

They are useful for clipping blocks on Layer 2, on Layer 3, or in a Custom Set layout. You can choose to clip to the center layout’s edge, the outer border edge, or let blocks hang beyond the border edge. Use the Adjust    tool to select the block you want to clip.

To display or hide the Graph Pad, choose Graph Pad from the VIEW menu. A check mark appears next to the menu item when the Graph Pad is displayed.
