An inserted embroidery is automatically converted to stitch objects and placed as a group. The first object in the group is placed after the selected object or the last visible object in the design. The group can be moved, resized, mirrored, rotated, copied or cut. Embroideries are inserted at the size they were created.
To open an embroidery as a design, use File, New

to convert an embroidery to a design.
