You can add trims in your design using the Trim tool. When you add a trim in this way, the trim function is added to the current stitch. Some machines require empty stitches or empty jumps on either side of the trim. If this is the case for the machine you want to stitch to, you will need to insert them.
You can add tie-offs in your design using the Tie-Off tool. This provides a semi-automated technique for adding tie-offs as an alternative to digitizing them with manual stitches. Tie-offs are usually added before a trim at the end of an object. Generally you will follow a tie-off with a trim.
TIP
Make sure that all stitches you trim have been tied in and off, otherwise stitches will not be secured.
