Background Grid

Use the grid options to turn the background grid on and off, optionally with numbered grid lines. The grid may be used to help align stitches, adjust selected blocks, draw border shapes precisely and so on. The grid options are:

Each time the grid icon is clicked, the next grid option is selected. The grid is initially set to Grid Numbered Half. All open embroideries use the same grid option, and the setting is remembered for the next mySewnet™ Stitch Editor session.

The grid is initially set at 5mm intervals, so the apparent size will vary depending on the size of the currently active embroidery and the zoom level. Adjust its size between 2mm and 50mm in the View tab.

If Inches are chosen for Show Measurements in mySewnet™ Configure, the nearest equivalent Grid Size is shown in inches in the View tab.
