When designs are overlapped, there may be stitches that are
hidden, which you would like to have removed. This process is automatically done
when you save a file (controllable by preferences) but you may want to preview
the results before saving. The Remove Hidden Stitches will run the process on
those stitches so that you can evaluate the result. The result is temporary,
however, so if you change anything on the design page, the stitches will return.
This happens because changing a design will almost always regenerate its
stitches.
