You can also select a run of stitches in the Stitch

Length graph by holding down the primary mouse

button and dragging the mouse cursor horizontally.

As long as you stay within the Stitch Length graph,

each boundary of the selection will snap to the next

stitch that rises above the vertical position of the

mouse cursor. Thus, by positioning the mouse cursor

above the majority of stitches in this graph but below

the long stitches (shown as vertical spikes), you can

easily select a run of stitches between any two long

stitches. In general, this is a great way to select a

distinct element of your design.

Use this graph to analyze your stitches and

The angle is plotted near the bottom of the

graph around zero degrees if the following

stitch runs in the same direction (as in a

running stitch). The angle is plotted near the

vertical center around plus or minus 90

degrees if the following stitch turns left or

right. And the angle is plotted near the top

around 180 degrees if the following stitch
