Why does my Giant multi-hoop design add a color break
to the end of each design section?

For multiple-position designs BuzzEdit has to make sure the design stays locked in the hoop and is not automatically centered by the sewing machine. For some file types the only way to do this is to lay down two locking stitches. BuzzEdit places the locking stitches such that when the machine centers the locking stitches in the hoop, the design is positioned correctly.

For PES files, we could use the PES "Set Sewing Area to Design Page" feature. However, if this feature is used, once the design gets to the sewing machine, the machine will not allow ANY adjustment of the design's position. With multi-hoop designs it is VERY useful to be able to micro-position the design once it gets to the sewing machine. So BuzzEdit turns off the PES "Set Sewing Area to Design Page" feature, and instead uses locking stitches. These are added as the last color break just so that they are easy to skip.

I can't seem to play the tutorial videos provided on the BuzzEdit Installation CD.  How do they play?

The tutorial videos are AVI files.  If you don't already have an AVI player installed on your computer, you will need to install one from your Windows CD. If you are having trouble playing the videos and you do have a AVI player installed, you may need to obtain the most current version of the player.  You can find out more about the Microsoft AVI player from their website at: http://www.microsoft.com

I see more then one BuzzEdit update listed on the website.  Do I need to install them all to be at the most current version?

Our update programs are cumulative, so you only need to install the most current update to receive all the features of the other ones. Other updates are listed in case an individual user has trouble with the current update and needs to run at an earlier version.

I have run the update but when I start the program it still shows the program at an earlier version.  How can this be?

When you run the update to BuzzEdit, be sure to use the Browse button to locate your BuzzEdit software. It sounds like the update is checking the default location and not finding your full version, so it is installing the free/Lite version. During the update process, use the Browse button to locate the folder where you  installed the full version of BuzzEdit.
