Edit stitches

With embroidery designs, stitches are automatically generated from design outlines and properties. This means you can scale, transform and reshape designs without affecting stitch density or quality. However, Hatch Embroidery also lets you edit individual stitches.

For example, you can insert stitches in an object to fill gaps, or move and delete individual or clusters of selected stitches. You may need to do this, for example, when working with machine files which do not contain design outline data. In essence, you simply select and manipulate stitches like any other object.

Where possible though, edit embroidery objects rather than individual stitches. All stitch edits are lost when an object is modified and regenerated. For that reason, stitch edits are mainly applied to machine files rather than design files.
