Selecting between Long Stitches
Using the Stitch Length graph, you can easily see the length of your
stitches. Each stitch is displayed as a vertical line whose height is
proportional to the length of the stitch. The longer the line, the longer the
stitch. Depending on the number of stitches shown, the vertical lines may
touch each other. [The top of each vertical line is marked with a dot so
that short stitches can be detected even if the lines touch.]

To see the individual stitches you may need to zoom in on an area of the

Select by Double-Clicking
Long stitches, such as
jump stitches, stand out on this graph and
appear as vertical spikes. To select between any
two long stitches, just position your cursor
between two long stitches and double-click
(Figure 2-10). Your selection will snap to these
boundaries. And since long stitches generally
delimit different elements within your design,
the Stitch Length graph makes it easy to select
different individual elements of your design.

Select by Dragging
You can also select a run of stitches in the Stitch
Length graph by 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.

Selecting by Type of Stitch
The Stitch Angle graph makes it easy to analyze your stitches and to
select a run of a specific type of stitches. Each different stitch type –
running, zigzag, satin, etc. - has a characteristic appearance in the Stitch
Angle graph. When you are editing your designs, look for other patterns
that may indicate a change of stitch type.
