Use Function > Clear Function to remove all functions at the current stitch position.

Insert commonly used machine functions manually via the Schiffli toolbar or by means of shortcut keys. The tools can be used for stitch-by-stitch digitizing and for placing fine-tuning functions after digitizing. They are often more convenient than changing object properties when editing ‘imported stitches’ type designs with unrecognized manual objects. See also Machine function selection method summary.

1Travel to the position in the design where you want to insert the machine function.

Tip: Use the Stitch List to view stitch position coordinates and function information – e.g. whether the stitch is a Jump. It also shows the length of every stitch in the design.
