If the straight line or curve is set to be open (Open

type of pattern is a simple outline and does not have
an inside region, line sew type and color settings
can only be applied to the line itself.
If the straight line or curve is set to be closed (Close
Path), the last point will automatically connect with
the first one. Since this type of pattern has an outline
and an inside region, each part can be assigned
different sew types and colors. However, if the line
of the pattern crosses itself, the inside region
cannot be filled, and the line must be uncrossed
so that the fill can be applied.

they are drawn, straight lines can be transformed
into curves, and curves into straight lines.
