The ability to edit
individual stitches is a very useful tool. Sometimes there are parts of a design
that you simply do not want. Other times, there are jams of stitches that simply
cannot be removed any other way. In still other cases, you want to add a few
stitches to get rid of gaps or increase coverage in an area that’s not
necessarily a fill. Maybe you just want to make a pocket topper?
To begin editing a design’s stitches, click the Stitch Edit button on the toolbar. This will cause the Tool pane to display the Stitch Edit controls, and the main view will show the stitch points.

Stitch points can be turned on or off from the View menu. They help identify the individual needle penetrations in the design.
