Optimizing the entry/exit points
The positions of the entry and the exit points for the
objects can be adjusted automatically in order to
optimize stitching.

Click Sew, then Optimize Entry/Exit points.
To optimize the entry and exit points, select
this command so that a check mark appears.
To cancel optimizing, select this command so
that no check mark appears.
→ If a check mark appears beside Optimize
Entry/Exit points, the entry and exit
points for the stitching of connected
objects with the same color are optimized
(in other words, they are connected by the
shortest distance possible).
a
Note:
If the entry and exit points have been
optimized (a check mark appears in front of
the Optimize Entry/Exit points command
on the Sew menu), the entry and exit points
of the patterns cannot be edited. In order to
use this tool for editing the entry and exit
points, select the menu command Sew –
Optimize Entry/Exit points to cancel the
setting.

the entry and exit points, all manual
adjustments of the entry and exit points
will be lost, and the positions of the points
will be automatically optimized.
