Grid

Use the Grid functions to switch the grid on and off, and to show darker grid lines every five or 10 grid squares.


Every Line	Every 5 Lines	Every 10 Lines	No Grid

Note: The Grid size is set in the Design Size page of the Cross Stitch Design Assistant, or in the Design Properties dialog.

A standard Full Cross fills one grid square. A Mini Cross fits one quarter of a grid square. Standard Backstitch exactly fits one side or the diagonal of a grid square. Freehand Backstitch can be any length, but the ends snap to half grid spacing. French knots snap to half grid spacing.

Note: Use mySewnet™ Configure to change the color of the grid.
