Insert Stop Command

Use Insert Stop Command  to add a command which instructs the embroidery machine to stop at the point where you click. A Stop command  is shown by a red octagon containing the letter S.

Use stop commands to transform an existing satin stitched 'outline' embroidery into an appliqué. Insert the stop commands so the appliqué fabric may be placed on the hoop, tacked down and trimmed. Stop commands may also be useful where a trimmed stitch might become trapped under the stitches that follow it.

Note: To view Stop commands with their messages, use Draw Next Stop and Draw Previous Stop on the Control Strip, or use the Design Player. Alternatively, view Stop Commands and their messages in the printed worksheet.
