For this example, we will use the grid setting
Medium with which the stitch pattern was
saved. Grid settings should be selected
depending on how detailed you want to draw.

detailed stitches and the grid setting Wide for
more simple stitches. For more information
on the grid settings, refer to “Changing the

The horizontal and vertical lines that you
draw on the work area always follow the grid.
The points that you create by clicking are
inserted at the intersection of the horizontal

of where you click, a point will automatically
be inserted at the nearest intersection.

right of the corner in the leftmost wave.
