Color Block List
All colors in the loaded design(s) are shown in the order
they will be embroidered. Each listed color shows the
design number and color block order. Also shown are
the thread manufacturer, thread weight and thread
color number. The size of each color block gives an
indication of how many stitches the color block contains.
Swipe in the Color Block List to see all of the color
blocks. To go to another color block, touch it in the
Color Block List.
Example: 1:2 RaRa 40 2497, means the second thread
color block in the first design to be embroidered is
Robison-Anton Rayon 40 weight thread, number 2497.
Basting Options
Basting Options
Basting enables you to secure your fabric to a hooped
stabilizer. It is especially useful when the fabric that is
going to be embroidered cannot be hooped. Basting
provides support for stretchy fabrics.
The Basting options are set in the Stitch–Out Settings
window that opens when entering Embroidery Stitch-
Out. You can also select Basting in the Color Block List,
by touching the Basting Options icon.
Select Baste Around Design to add a basting stitch
around the design, outlining the area where the design
will be placed on the fabric.
Select Baste Around the Hoop to add a basting stitch
around the inside edge of the hoop.
You can select both basting options to add additional
support for certain fabrics and techniques.
Note: When activated only the basting color blocks will be
shown in the color block list. When basting is complete the
Color Block List will once again show the color blocks of your
design.
