Viewing a design by
thread color order
Viewing a design by thread color lets you
view the stitches in your design window one
color at a time, which is important for viewing
a design’s sewing sequence. The View by
Color command follows a design’s thread
color order. For example, if Thread 1 is red,
Thread 2 is blue, and Thread 3 is yellow,
when you select View by Color, all your red
stitches appear first, blue stitches second
and so on.
To view a design by thread color:
1
Click the
tool on the ribbon.
2
From the draw ribbon, click the draw
ribbon mode setting
tool.
You see the Draw Ribbon Setting dialog
appear.
3
In the Stop at area, select one or more
machine commands you want the Play
backward one color button and Play
forward one color button to pause at as
the design sews out. For example, you
can enable the design to pause its
drawing whenever it encounters a Trim. If
you do not select any commands, the
design will pause at all color changes
while drawing.
Aligning and
Measuring Designs
Adding guidelines
You can use guidelines to help you precisely
align text and segments in your embroidery
designs. Guidelines are straight horizontal or
vertical lines that you drag from the rulers
into your design. These guidelines are easy
to make and they are useful for setting
alignment lines across the length or width of
the design workspace.
To create a horizontal guideline:
1
Position the pointer inside the ruler at the
bottom of the window.
2
Hold down the left mouse button and drag
the guideline into the design window.
3
Release the mouse when the guideline is
in the position you want.
To create a vertical guideline:
1
Position the pointer inside the ruler at the
left side of the window.
2
Hold down the left mouse button and drag
the guideline into the design window.
3
Release the mouse when the guideline is
in the position you want.
