Added stitch types include, Candlewicking / French Knot, Contour / Satin Contour, 3 5 Pass Whip Stitch, Satin Freestanding, Fringe, Curved / Curved Motif Fills, Gradient / Feathered Fills, and Gradient Motif Run. Added to our our professional Bezier and Spline Point drawing tools is the ability to import .SVG vector art and even some cutting file formats (.FCM and .studio) for use as embroidery objects.
