Insert Points

Use the Insert Points pointer Insert_Point_pointer04601.jpg to insert a point in the currently selected object outline, or a stitch angle line for a satin area.

Points can be inserted into all line and area types, including emboss lines and MultiWave lines. The only exception is Single Stitch, where points cannot be added or removed.
