Insert Stop Command

Use Insert Stop Command  to add a command which instructs the embroidery machine to stop at the point where you click, displaying a message.

Use stop commands to transform an existing satin stitched 'outline' embroidery into an appliqué. Insert the stop commands so the appliqué fabric may be placed on the hoop, tacked down and trimmed. Stop commands may also be useful where a movement stitch might become trapped under the stitches that follow it.

To view Stop commands with their messages, use the Design Player, or view them in the printed worksheet. To remove or edit the text of a Stop Command, use Undo, then Insert a new Stop, or use mySewnet™ Stitch Editor.
