To change grid settings

1Right-click the Grid icon. The Options > Grid tab opens.

2Activate grid lines with the Show Grid checkbox.

3Select Show Major Lines and set the number of crosses to fit between them.

Tip: If you've set a fabric count of, say, 14 stitches per inch, set the distance between major grid lines to 14 as well. That way you can visualize better each square inch of your design.

5Select from the available colors or define your own. Click Define Custom Colors to mix your own colors from the color wheel.

6Click OK.
