Insert Trim

Use Insert Trim  to add a command which instructs some embroidery machines to cut the thread.

Note: When Delete Commands  is selected, a Trim command  is shown by a green circle containing the letter T.

Use Trim commands when converting embroideries made for non-trimming machines for use on machines that support Trim commands. Trim commands can be added between areas of the same color. For instance, insert Trim commands to trim out the joining stitches between lettering when the thread color contrasts with the fabric.
