Stitching sub-paths
Stitch Sub-Paths LPE is almost like an opposite of Interpolate Sub-Paths LPE. It can create 3D surface effects, hair, hatches, and engravings but instead of generating additional paths "parallel" to the sub-paths, it creates them "orthogonally" to the original sub-paths.
Stitch Sub-Paths LPE also has some additional randomizing options and the possibility to use a custom path shape as "stitches".
In this recipe we will use Stitch Sub-Paths LPE to create a stitched effect on an alphabet. With a little practice, we can fashion a textual logo from a brand name using the very same technique.
How to do it...
The following steps will show how to stitch sub-paths:
1. Select the Text tool (F8 or T) and write the letter "C". Choose your favorite font family, set the font size to 500. Remove the fill, set stroke to Navy (#000080), stroke width to 8px, and miter cap to Round cap in the Stroke style tab of the Fill and Stroke dialog (Shift + Ctrl + F). This style will later be inherited...
