Sort Colors
Sometimes a design will have the same color repeated. For
example, you might duplicate an apple in your design several times
to fill the design with apples. When you duplicate the apple, you also
duplicate the color breaks for the green leaf and the red apple.
In this example, the colors of the leaves and apples are not sewn on
top of one another so you could sew all of the apples first, followed
by all of the leaves. This is the perfect time to use the Color Sort
command. At other times you can obtain better results by manually
merging colors by dragging them along the Stitches-in-Time
™
graphs.
Before color sort, the design
fiveapls.csd has sixteen color breaks.
After color sort, there are
four color breaks.
