Greetings Mark,
Here is a copy of the project , your procedure worked on Easel, Now I have to try it on my XCarve , I will be back home until next week I will keep you posted, if there is something else I should do welcome.
Cheers.

to remove all the pattern cuts outside the bowtie shape…
- Create a box larger than the pattern centered on the bowtie shape
- move it off to the side and set it to 100% depth
- create a copy of the bowtie shape change the cut to filled, set it to 0% depth, and center it on the box you just created
- select both the new shapes that you created and combine them
- set the depth to 0%, then center on the original bowtie shape
- select the new shape and the background pattern (but not the original bowtie shape) and combine
that should leave you with the original bowtie shape, and a background pattern that only fills it, but not outside of it
