Use Point Select 
to select a block of embroideries within an area of any shape, defined by a series of points. Click a series of points to create an irregular outline of straight or curved lines around the desired designs. Point Select may be easier to use than Freehand Select for precise selections.
Use Add to Selection
with any select function to increase the area of selected embroideries, or use Remove From Selection
to make the currently selected area smaller.
