Threads and colours
Brand thread charts, swapping colours, and sewing order.
- The Threads panel lists the thread colours in sewing order, with how many shapes use each.
- Click a thread to swap it for a brand thread: the Thread colours panel opens with the Brother, Janome and Husqvarna Viking charts (search by name or number). The swap changes every shape in that colour and goes into the exported file.
- With shapes selected, a click in Thread colours colours them; with nothing selected, it sets the colour of the next shape you draw.
- Reset thread colours in the Threads panel undoes the swaps.
Tip: Every colour is a thread change on the machine. Fewer colours sew faster.
