Use Freehand Select 
to select a block of stitches within an area of any shape. Freehand Select is useful when an area cannot be easily selected by using the simpler Box Select function. It is particularly useful to highlight part of a color area which could not otherwise be easily selected.
The block can be moved, scaled and/or resized, mirrored horizontally and vertically and rotated to any degree. The block can be copied or cut to the clipboard and then pasted to the same or another embroidery. The block can also be deleted.
