Changing the Settings
Changing the grid settings
The line spacing in the grid displayed in the work
area can be adjusted.
1. Click Display, then Grid.
→ A submenu showing the current grid
setting appears.
2. Click the grid setting that you need for the
stitch pattern that you are creating or editing.
The horizontal and vertical lines that you draw in the
work area always follow the grid. The points you
create by clicking in the work area 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 grid size according to the type of
stitch that you want to draw. Select a narrower grid
for drawing finer details or to give a curved or
circular appearance to your stitch lines, and select a
wider grid if you want to draw a simpler stitch
pattern.

The template image that remains in the work area
can be displayed or hidden, or a faded copy of the
image can be displayed.

the desired setting.

the desired density (75%, 50% or 25%).
