Choose the type of block you want to add.

<b>Standard Block
Choose this option if you want to define an area in which to place 
a pattern.

<b>Clipping Block
Choose this option if you want to clip any line of a pattern(s) you've 
already placed that extends beyond the edge of a block.

<b>No-Sew Zone
Choose this option to define an area where you want to remove a part 
of a pattern(s) that you've already placed. A larger block that has 
been filled with a pattern but you want to define an area where you 
do not want to stitch the pattern. This is used when placing small 
filler patterns.

Clipping and No-Sew zone blocks can be thought of as cookie dough.  
You've rolled the dough (placed patterns) but now need to cut the 
cookies. 
A clipping block is like the part of the dough you remove from 
around the outside of the cutter, leaving the cookie in place. 
The No-Sew zone is like removing the cookie shape, leaving the rest 
of the dough in place.
