stitch-by-stitch; look at embedded objects and simulate actual embroidery by
seeing the design in 3-D against a variety of fabric and coloured backgrounds

anything relevant to the sampling or production; allows you to insert or delete
machine functions such as stops and thread trims - to change the design start
and finish points and also to group or ungroup objects inside the design
