Before using ES Schiffli, you need to give the software some further details about its intended application. There are two ways to do this:

There are various reasons why you may want to do this. For example, if the maximum stitch length supported by your machine is 12mm, you can define a custom Schiffli machine format and adjust the maximum stitch length accordingly. When starting a new design, choose the particular machine you need.
