Select an Entire Thread Color

The Stitches-in-Time

™

window, the window

at the bottom of the BuzzEdit

™

workspace,

contains several graphs. The top bar is the

Stitch Color bar that shows you the thread

colors of your design in the order in which

they are sewn.

To select a color, simply double-click the

desired color on the Stitch Color bar. You

now see that color block displayed in the

Stitches-in-Space window (the window on the top left). The stitches

that are not part of the selection are displayed in ghost color.

Select a Portion of a Design

For this example, we will be using the PCS file bunny.pcs, which is

included with BuzzEdit

™

as a sample.

1 Open the Design

Open the file bunny.pcs in BuzzEdit

™

. The default location of this

file is C:\Program Files\Buzz Tools\BuzzEdit\Samples.

You see two pictures of the design displayed in the BuzzEdit

™

workspace. The left picture is in the Stitches-in-Space window (or

Space window) and the right picture is in the Stitches-in-Space

Reference window (or Space Reference window). We are going

to select the bunny's tail using the Lasso tool, and we are going

to change it to a different color.

2 Choose the Lasso/Move Tool

Move your cursor to the buttons to the left of the

Space window. Locate the Lasso/Move tool. If this

button is not already depressed, click on it to activate the Lasso.

Position your mouse inside the Stitches-in-Space window.

Your cursor now looks like a crosshair with little lasso.
