Commands are instructions such as the Add Color Change 
that changes the thread at the start of a new color block, and the Stop 
that tells an embroidery machine to stop without a color change.
Color changes, stops and alignment stitches are indicated by special blue and red markers on the work area.

Alignment Stitches
Use Alignment stitches 
to add stitches at the beginning of an embroidery that you can use to align the embroidery, for example with a previously embroidered design. Alignment stitches are typically placed at the beginning of an embroidery. They are inserted after the currently selected object, but may be moved if desired. Alignment stitches are created as a cross, but may be altered after placement.
