Insert Trim Command

Use Insert Trim Command  to add a command which instructs some embroidery machines to cut the thread. A Trim command  is shown by a green circle containing the letter T.

Note: When adding trims to an embroidery, first use Automatically Add Trim Commands , then add any additional trims with Insert Trim Command. See Automatically Add Trim Commands.

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.
