How to Make an Alternating Corners Design: Waves Using the #112: Ornamental or the #106: Mixed

Info

  • Sometimes you might not want all of the corners to meet up with each other and would prefer an Alternating Corner approach.

  • Traditionally, a design like this would require a specialized Template or editing it in Trace.

  • Now with the introduction of the #112: Ornamental template and the existing #106: Mixed template, you can now make this with a few simple clicks.
