Editing the sewing order

frame containing the pattern, then dragging the
frame to the new location. A vertical red line
appears, indicating the position where the frame is
being moved.
An alternative method for moving the frames is by
clicking the buttons at the top of the dialog box.

beginning of the sewing order.
:Click to move the selected pattern ahead
one position in the sewing order.

one position in the sewing order.

end of the sewing order.
■ Combining patterns of the same
color
When a Design Page contains a combination of
patterns, those patterns with the same color can
be grouped together from the Sewing Order/
Lock dialog box. Simply drag the frame of the
patterns with the same color to position them
beside each other.
Changing colors
The color of the objects for each color can be
changed. The thread colors can also be changed in
stitch patterns. The procedure for changing colors in
an embroidery pattern is described below.
