Stitch Color Bar
The Stitch Color bar makes it easy to select
a run of stitches comprising one thread color
or several adjacent thread colors. The
thread colors of your design are shown in
the order in which they are sewn. The length
of each color bar is proportional to the
number of stitches in the color break. When
the mouse is clicked or dragged on the
Stitch Color bar, the selection will “snap” to
the nearest color break, making it easy to
select a complete color break.
Drag on the Stitch Color
bar to select whole
color breaks.
You can also select a color by double-clicking on its thread color on
the Stitch Color bar.
Stitch Length Graph
Using the Stitch Length graph, you can
easily see the length of your stitches. Each
stitch is displayed as a vertical line whose
height is proportional to the length of the
stitch. Depending on the number of stitches
shown, the vertical lines may touch each
other. [The top of each vertical line is
marked with a dot so that short stitches can
be detected even if the lines touch.]
The longer the line,
the longer the stitch.
Long stitches appear as
vertical spikes
To see the individual stitches you may
need to zoom in on an area of the Stitch
Length graph (see Zooming In on the
Stitches-in-Time
™
Window on page 33).
Long stitches stand out on this graph and
appear as vertical spikes. Selection is easy
between any two long stitches.
