Use the Sort Colors tool (or choose Tools > Sort Colors) to

sort the colors in your current selection or for the entire design.

Note: Sometimes a design will have the same color listed

in two locations due to the required layering of the stitches.

This is often done for outlines or to produce some other

advanced effect. Whenever you sort the colors in your design,

examine your design closely and do a test sew of the design to

ensure that your results are those that you desire.

Reverse Stitch Order

You can reverse the sewing order of a selection by using the

Reverse Stitch Order command. This is most often done to shorten

or reduce jump stitches in an area.

Use the Reverse Stitch Order command to reverse the

order that a selection stitches.

This heart was created by duplicating

and flipping the left half. We are left

with a jump stitch across the middle.

Selecting the right half and reversing the

stitch order eliminates the jump stitch.

When you use the Reverse Stitch Order command, you need to be

aware of whether your selection includes understitching.

[Understitching is sewn before a fill area to stabilize the area or to

travel from one embroidery area to another.]
