Splitting a pattern allows you to edit small portions of a whole pattern.  
It cuts a pattern into smaller sections so that you can modify each 
section separately. 

Splitting also makes it possible to stitch out a pattern that may be larger 
than your available quilting space. 

For example, if you do not want to turn the quilt to stitch out the side 
borders, you can set your continuous border pattern in place, then split 
it into sections so that you can stitch a section each time you advance 
the quilt.

Use your stylus to touch any place along the stitching line where you 
want the stitching to stop. You can move the split point by moving the 
stylus along the stitching line.

Use the zoom feature to help you select that point more accurately.

One side of that point will turn red, the other green so that you can 
clearly see the place you have chosen.  

If the pattern has connecting lines (jump stitch or "stop to cut threads"),
when you touch these lines, the endpoint of the line will be selected. 
This feature can be used to separate the segments of a complex pattern.

Now touch [Split].

You will see a new S and E appear on the image. These indicate the start 
and end point of the separated pattern.

You can split the pattern as many times as you wish.

The following shortcut buttons make your pattern editing faster:

<b>Delete Pattern(s)
Select this option to remove one or more segments from your design.

<b>Copy Pattern
Select this option if you want to make a copy of a segment.

<b>Modify Pattern
Select this option if you want to change a segment's shape, size or 
position on the quilt design.

<b>Combine Patterns
Select this option if you want to recombine some segments.

Touch [Finished] when you are done with splitting and editing.
