e Design menu functions enable the quilter to
open, modify, position, and save quilting designs.
A majority of HQ Pro-Stitcher work will be with

Design sub-menu is selected, two clusters of buttons
are available on the bottom le-hand and bottom
right-hand corners of the screen. ese functions
are useful during many of the Design steps and are
therefore available during all Design functions.

stop stitching at that point. e jump is indicated
by a purple dashed line. Green dots mark the end
of the jump and the beginning of the next stitching
segment. Press the Jump Points button to show or
hide these dots and dashed lines on the view.
