I am so glad I bought the essentials program. After watching this you can see why they call it essentials and Lisa Shaw is definitely a good teacher ensuring after each point that you understand what she has done. Thank you so much
This was just what I needed to know how to do. I had a soccer ball and lettering that I wanted to overlap but could not figure out how to remove the stitches. Thank you this worked great and I've bookmarked this so if I need a refresher on how to do next time.
Oh Lisa this is a WONDERFUL explanation of this feature. Now I understand why my machine missed the placement and tackdown stitches on a piece I was monogramming.
Thank you, Lisa. This is very useful. So much to learn. I usually watch your tutorials several times to catch everything. You always throw in a few extra gems. Thanks. Love my Essentials software!
I have been trying to figure this out for ages and ages. Thank you so much! I just fixed a problem on a file I've been dying to use but couldn't resolve why things were magically disappearing when I went to the machine. Just tried turning off the remove hidden stitches and taaadaaa! Perfect stitch file!
Wow, you teach me something new every time Lisa. I have been struggling to make my own ITH applique project and forgot to check for helpful tutorials. Many thanks, Jess
I'm following the video but it is not working. I have essentials and I've made sure my software is up to date and the remove hidden stiches box is checked.Is there something wrong with my software?
I have gone through these exact same steps and it doesn't appear the program is removing my hidden stitches in my saved PES file. I don't understand what I am doing wrong.
How much overlap do you have on the "merged" files? I had that issue when I opened the first design then merged the second. When I started with a "new" file and "merged" both files I had better results - not PES though
How can I remove hidden stitches on letters that are fill stitches and NOT an appliqué? I want to be able to overlap some lettering and not have it be bulky
Really informative and in-depth. I am looking for a new software program as my Janome Digitizer Pro is no longer supported and the computer it was installed on died. I have hundreds of designs on disc and USB. Would I be able to import them into the Embrilliance software?
I followed through with the steps and it did group, however when I used the simulator it still showed the stitches, wondering what I missed? repeated it again, still the same?? thank you in advance for any advice :)
Could be many things such as not enough completely covered stitches to remove. Reach out to support with file to ask. Http://embrilliance.com/contact-us-2
I have Essentials, Enthusiast and Stitch Artist 1. I added 2 designs like you did, but the underlying stitches still show after I merge the design, save BE/PES and select the scissors. This didn't work for me.
It didn't work for me either. I followed all the same steps as well. I noticed the video was done in 2019. Wondering if they disabled this function with the new versions.

Hi Lisa I’m stuck, I have a tiny filled heart that I’d like to add lettering on top. I can’t seem to make the hidden stitches work. It’s quarter inch lettering I’m trying to put on too but I don’t want the filled heart stitches below. Any ASAP help would be greatly appreciated.
i have the same problem. I put a monogram M and then my last name over the M and it should have removed the stitches in the M when the top layer stitched out, instead it stitches each one as if it were a separate item and it makes the design dense and bulky.
RodSue Myers thank you for the reply, no one has reached out so I don’t have a solution, if I figure it out or if someone answers my messages I will keep you in the loop.
Wow! What an awesome feature for the remove hidden stitches, particularly with the applique. I have a question: if you have a two color twill and you "kiss cut" the design (meaning the two applique colors are placed on top of each other for one sew file). How do I create a "kiss cut" applique file, or is that something just for commercial machines? Thanks!
Thank you for this video! I still must be missing something because I do not understand what adding the letter has anything to do with the hidden sts of the first 2 steps as it doesn't cover any of the design. ie, I would think you would have to do this (tell the program the applique functions ) with the design as it was brought in. If I did not add the letter, wouldn't I still have to assign the applique functions in this design ?
@@EmbrillianceI understand. Sorry, I thought Lisa Shaw might see this since she created the video. I don't think this inquiry is one for tech support, but appreciate the quick respose
I have been watching some of your videos. Can you please give me information on how to digitize a pattern that I can use to quilt with? I would really appreciate it.
You have to set the position and material stitch in designs like the Annie right. The first selection was Not Applique so if you wanted to just sew out without having an applique, that button would be clicked, would you still need to set position? Thanks

As the video shows, it works on merged designs that overlap each other. There is a whole bunch of information in this video on the topic of Remove Hidden Stitches. You may need to watch it more than once!
I have a question: I’ve tried MULTIPLE times to save the file I designed so that it removes the hidden stitches - I even checked the “Remove overlaps when saving stitch files” box in the Jumps / Overlays section of the PROGRAM PREFERENCES menu. Nothing seems to work. After watching this, it seems like all she does is scoot the merged images together to overlap, then chooses to save. So my question is this: does the RHS function not work when you design your own image from merging several other images and adding text? I’m using the palm tree & water from one image, the sun from another, the petal from a flower on another image, copied and pasted to make it look like a line of sand, and then I used separate lettering for words. That’s a big hodge podge of images thrown together, so maybe the RHS feature can’t read or something? I also tried grouping everything, and clicking the scissor icon to remove the hidden stitches that way. But it’s still not working. Any tips would be appreciated ❤️

So, does the initial two files have to be PES objects or should they be .BE objects in order to be able to be merged? I've created files myself and saved in parts so that I could later merge them if I want, but I'm missing some details.
@@Embrilliance Ok, I figured that. I was using both of my PES files, but the stitches are not being hidden like I expected. I have the preference set correctly too. I'm really not sure where I'm going wrong with this. It seems so simple.
