Embroidery appearance and selection of stitches

"The embroidery I want to work with appears too small on the screen."

Make sure the mySewnet™ Stitch Editor window is maximized by choosing Window > Zoom. Click Zoom To Fit to expand the hoop so it fills the work area. Also, choose a Hoop Size in Hoop Selection that is suitable to the embroidery size.

"I find it hard to select the part of the embroidery I wish to edit."

Many functions of mySewnet™ Stitch Editor can be used to help see sections of embroideries more easily. They include the Zoom Commands, as well as the Draw Next Color Block and Draw Previous Color Block, Draw Range and Ghost Mode. The Design Player can also be used to help run through embroideries to find the required stitch or command. The different methods of selection (Box Select, Color Block Select, Select Stitches, Freehand Select, Point Select and Select All Visible) are also useful for different situations.

"I selected part of an embroidery, then tried to Compensate the block. The compensation has been applied to the whole embroidery, not just the area selected."

Compensation works on the visible part of an embroidery. Hide stitches with Draw Range, Draw Next Color Block, or turn colors off by deselecting them in the Color Select area on the Design window, to isolate a specific area before using this function.

"I selected part of an embroidery, then tried to Break Up Stitches. Stitches have been broken up in the whole embroidery, not just the area selected."

Break Up Stitches works on the visible part of an embroidery. Hide stitches with Draw Range, Draw Next Color Block or turn colors off to isolate a specific area before using this function.

"I cannot select the desired color using the Color Block Select function, because one color is on top of the other."

Use Draw Next Color and Draw Previous Color or turn colors off in the Color Select area on the Design window to isolate the desired color area, then click Color Block Select to select those stitches.
