Use Insert Mode to determine if all stitches and color changes are added at the end of the embroidery, or if they can be inserted at any point in the embroidery.
Insert Mode Off
When Insert Mode is off 
, its icon is pale grey. Stitches and color changes are always added at the end of the embroidery. This also applies when pasting a block of stitches, and for opening embroideries directly onto the work area. Also, when any of these functions are used, any stitch point that is selected will be automatically deselected.
The last stitch in the embroidery is marked with a cross 
. The last stitch marker can be turned off in Screen Preferences 
.
Insert Mode is always off when mySewnet™ Sketch is started.
Insert Mode On
When Insert Mode 
is on, its icon is highlighted. Stitches, color changes and stop commands are inserted at the selected stitch point. If no stitch point is selected, stitches, color changes and stop commands are added to the end of the embroidery, as when Insert Mode is off. The insert point is also used when pasting a block of stitches, and for opening embroideries directly onto the work area. If an insert point is selected, a small box is shown around the chosen stitch point.
If Insert Mode is on, the stitch point can be deselected by right-clicking anywhere on the work area.
