Fixing SuperDesigns as Embroideries
SuperDesigns are fixed as an embroidery when they are Combined with another design, or when Fix as Stitches is used. See Fix as Stitches.
If a SuperDesign is selected when opening the Modify 
window it will be fixed. The stitches are then created, and any further resizing of the embroidery may affect stitch density and length. The stitch properties, for example the density, pattern, angle or stitch length, may not be changed after it is fixed.
Note: When SuperDesigns are fixed as embroideries, the handles change from green to white or blue. After a SuperDesign has been converted to embroidery, it can no longer be changed with SuperDesign properties.
