b Memo:
To remove the last point that was entered,
click the right mouse button. Each
successive right-click removes points, one
by one, in the opposite order that they were
entered. Once all points are deleted, the
Tool Box buttons are available again,
however, the application remains in Split
stitch mode.
An enclosure is valid only if it contains stitch
data. If it contains no stitch data, an error
message appears, and the enclosure is
erased, but the application remains in Split
stitch mode.
a Note:
Only one cutoff section can be specified
from the pattern at one time. Repeat the
procedure for each piece of the pattern
that you want to cut off.
The cutoff piece moves to the end of the
sewing order and the thread color order
appears in the order selected for the
original pattern.
b Memo:
This function is not available if data other than
stitch data is selected or if grouped
embroidery data containing data other than
stitch data is selected.
