Insert Stitches

Use Insert Stitches  to add new stitches to an embroidery. Click Insert Stitches and the pointer changes to the Insert Stitches pointer . The stitches will be added using the thread color where you insert the stitches. If you need to use a different color for the stitches, insert color changes before and after the new stitches have been added. Right-click twice to deselect.

Click Insert Stitches

, then click the stitch where you want to add stitches. The next click will place a new stitch point after the stitch you started from. Each following click will place a new stitch point after the previous one. Click Delete to delete the last point placed. Right-click to finish adding stitches.

You may not start from a stitch point where there is a command (Color Change, Stop or Trim).

Use Insert Stitches for many reasons. For example, you may add more underlay to an embroidery or make a new section of an embroidery. You can even change an embroidery into an appliqué embroidery by adding placement stitches and Stops to secure the appliqué fabric.
