Vertical Strip layouts are made up of long vertical pieced or unpieced “strips.”

The focused strip appears in gray. Click directly on the strip you want to adjust, or use the arrow clickers to select a strip. After you have selected a strip, you can adjust the size and style of the strip. You can also duplicate or delete it. Clicking Add will add a new strip to the right side of your quilt. Insert will place the new strip to the left of the focused strip. When Clone the selected strip is checked, the next strip you add or insert will be exactly like the focused strip. Clicking Delete will delete the focused strip.
