Break Up Stitches

Use Break Up Stitches  to add extra stitch points to the embroidery so that no stitches are longer than the specified maximum length. Only visible stitches are affected.

This is useful to reduce the length of stitches if they are causing any difficulties during embroidery, but it does increase the number of stitches in the embroidery.

Select Break Up Stitches

• In the Modify  window of the Control Panel , click Break Up Stitches .

• Choose Design > Break Up Stitches.
