Working in the Import Wizard, I can click on the background and delete almost all of the color but some stray background color stays right up against the image and here and there on the background.
When I click on a stray section, all the stray color is highlighted and flashes as if it will go away when I hit 'delete' but nothing actually happens.
How can I clear ALL the background color without clicking on each little speck individually?
Thanks.

There are several ways to remove stitches in PCStitch

1 - manually click and remove each one
2 - mark a section and remove all stitches in them.
3 - mark a section and remove all of ONE color in them.
4 - select to remove ALL stitches of a given color.

A combination of these methods is probably needed to remove the "fuzz".

That fuzzy area is part of the "tweaking" phase and I find that I end up selecting colors and changing stitches from one color an adjacent color that more fits the design. It's as tedious as removing one stitch at a time because you have to think what color SHOULD be in each place but the results are well worth it.

There is no such thing as a stupid question
