Add basting stitch markers

Use Create Layouts > Basting Stitch Marker to insert a reference marker at any angle and position.

Use the Basting Stitch Marker tool to insert the basting stitch marker and place it before the embroidery design so it stitches first. If you want to manually create a multi-hoop design or continuous embroidery design, optionally insert basting stitch markers or bitmap markers at the end of the design. Click the Basting Stitch Marker tool in the Create Layouts toolbox to access the dialog. Various sizes and shapes are available.
