Drag Colors
You can change the sewing order of your design by dragging a
selected color horizontally left or right along the Time graphs and
dropping the selection at the desired position.
Drag a Selection
to Move it
To change the sewing order of the colors in a
design, first select an entire color by
double-clicking on it in the Stitch Color bar. To
grab your selection, position your mouse cursor
on the Stitch Color bar inside of your selection.
When your mouse cursor is correctly positioned,
it will change to a pointing finger. Hold down the
primary mouse button and drag your selection in
Time.
Since you are rearranging entire color breaks in this example, you will
want to insert the selection on a color boundary. It is easy to do this
by moving your cursor horizontally along the Stitch Color bar. Your
insertion point will snap to a color boundary, making it easy to
rearrange the colors in your design.
Drag Stitches
Just as you can change the sewing order of an entire color, you can
also easily change the sewing order of any selected run of stitches.
Make your stitch selection using any of the methods previously
mentioned in Chapter 1; for example, drag along any of the Time
graphs or use the Lasso tool in the Space window.
You will always start dragging your
selection from the Stitch Color bar. Once
you have "picked up" your selection as
described above, you can drag your
selection down into any of the other
graphs to take advantage of one of their
particular features or snap
characteristics.
