The work area is the area where embroideries are drawn and loaded. The work area includes the area surrounding the selected hoop. It is where you make changes to an embroidery. The stitch area is the available area inside the selected hoop. The blue corners show the limits for embroidery inside the hoop.
Stitches are drawn in the chosen colors. The background color can be changed using mySewnet™ Configure.
The position of the last stitch in the embroidery is shown as a cross 
. If desired, the cross can be hidden using an option in Screen Preferences 
.
The work area has a grid, which may be turned on or off using the Grid icon
. Zooming in or out makes the grid squares look bigger or smaller. The grid size can be changed using the Screen Preferences
.
To the right of the work area is the control panel, which is split into two pages. Click the tab at the top of the control panel to access the desired page.
The Color Select area is common to both pages. Change and hide colors. Edit and add notes in the Notes and Settings boxes.
Use the Standard page to draw perfectly regulated running, triple, motif and satin lines in freehand (curved) or straight lines. Also adjust their stitch type options before drawing.
Use the Free page to draw free motion, zigzag and calligraphy stitches. Change the stitch speed, zigzag width, and calligraphy angle.
The Clipboard Block shows the embroidery that can be pasted into the work area.
