Example 1: Wide grid Example 2: Medium grid Example 3: Narrow grid 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. Select None to turn off the snap to grid feature, allowing you to create curved patterns. 222
