Use View Mode to switch between 3D 
, 2D 
and Block 
view. This changes the display of the crosses and other stitches.
Use mySewnet™ Configure to change the background color. If there is a background picture, when it is shown it will hide the background within the design area.
The thread type and number of colors in a thread does not affect the display on the mySewnet™ Cross Stitcher screen. All thread types are displayed the same as rayon threads. The stitches in variegated threads only use the first color in the thread.
