Use Insert to insert an embroidery into your project. The Open dialog is displayed so that you can choose an embroidery to insert.
When an embroidery is Inserted all alignment stitches are removed. The hoop and background are not shown when inserting an embroidery.
When there is already an embroidery on the work area, the opened embroideries are added to the current design. They are usually added at the end, unless Insert Mode is on and a stitch point is selected. When an insert point is selected, the first embroidery opened will be inserted at the selected stitch point. Additional embroideries loaded will be added at the end.
