With the powerful stitch editing capabilities, stitches can be added, moved or deleted, either individually or in contiguous selections. Clean up designs, change stitch sewing order, bury jump stitches or remove any run of contiguous stitches - quickly and easily!

Powerful User Interface
The built-in wizards make customizing projects easy! Zoom in on an area of your design while you work. The complete design is still shown in the realistic 3-D reference. Use the powerful stitch time graphs to easily select stitches or analyze a design.
Layout
Merge multiple designs into one layout including huge designs using a predefined or custom multi-hoop. Automatically add basting stitches to single or multi-hoop designs.
Embroidery Design Editing
Robust stitch editing capabilities allow you to add, move or delete individual stitches. Slice designs for multi-hoops or to remove elements. Reverse the stitch order of a selection. Add or remove color breaks, change stitch types and convert formats. Basic editing functions include mirror, rotate and stretch (no stitch re-calculation) with a movable custom center.
Digitize
View a background graphic in the workspace while you create shapes such as ellipses, rectangles, custom shapes and columns. Outlines are available as running, bean or zig-zag stitch. The appliqué function creates position tack down & finishing in one step. Remove stitches under objects or create holes in designs -- useful for creating clocks, button holes and light switch covers. Objects are retained in the BUZ file for future editing. Change object attributes such as fill pattern, stitch density, pull compensation and more.
Further enhance your creations with the manual stitch tool which can add, move or delete individual stitches.
Automatic Design Tools
Create continuous borders with the easy to use wizard. Alignment stitches are added automatically for you making your border easy to sew. Create coordinating wreath & label designs with the wreath wizard. Colors are sorted automatically to save you time!
Hoops and Multi-Hoops
BuzzEdit supports most current embroidery hoops and multi-hoops. Simple custom hoop layout - just choose your hoop, enter the dimensions of your design and all calculations are done for you.
With the free form multi-hoop tool, place hoops exactly where you want them for manual hooping. Once your layout is complete, automatically add alignment stitches for perfect placement at the machine.
Automatically split oversized designs for multi-hoops. Or manually split designs with the enhanced slice tool which optionally adds needle points or feathers the edge of the slice to soften the point of overlap.
Printed Templates and Reports

Actual Size Preview
The actual size preview always displays detailed sewing information and embedded design notes (if available).
The actual size pop-up window lets you see a larger view of your design in realistic 3-D which makes it especially easy to view fill patterns and outlines.
Using the Slice Tool you can quickly cut out specific areas of your design and save them as new designs. It's a great way to create complementary designs for a project. We saved this flower section and used it to create the wreath and border designs below.
Repeating Borders
Control the direction, and spacing of repeated designs along with alignment stitch properties.
The same embroidery design can be used to create a repeating border. The Border Wizard automatically adds alignment stitches so that your border designs stitch correctly at the machine.
I use BuzzEdit constantly to help me in my designing and editing for my creations that feature on my website. It is simple and fast to use. Actually it inspired me to expand on my ideas for designs. I could not do without BuzzEdit and BuzzSize...
