When
designs are overlapped, there may be stitches that are hidden, which you would
like to have removed. This process is automatically done when you save a file
(controllable by preferences) but you may want to preview the results before
saving. The Remove Hidden Stitches will run the process on those stitches so
that you can evaluate the result. The result is temporary, however, so if you
change anything on the design page, the stitches will return. This happens
because changing a design will almost always regenerate its stitches.
