switch grids while you are working on a stitch pattern, then continue drawing.

The grid setting will be saved when the application is turned off, so when the application is turned
on the next time, the same settings will be applied.
The horizontal and vertical lines that you draw on the work area always follow the grid. The points you
create by clicking the mouse are inserted at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines of the
grid, enabling you to draw diagonal lines as well. Regardless of where you click, a point will automatically
be inserted at the nearest intersection.
Select a different work grid according to the type of stitch you want to draw. Select a narrower grid for
drawing finer details or to give curve-like or circle-like looks to your stitch lines and select a wider grid if
you want to draw a simpler stitch pattern.
