Color Block List

All colors in the loaded design(s) are shown in the order they
will be embroidered. Each listed color shows the design
number and color block order. Also shown are the thread
manufacturer, thread weight and thread color number. The
size of each color block gives an indication of how many
stitches the color block contains.
Swipe in the color block list to see all of the color blocks. To
go to another color block, touch it in the color block list.

Basting Options

Basting enables you to secure your fabric to a hooped
stabilizer. It is especially useful when the fabric that is going
to be embroidered cannot be hooped. Basting provides
support for stretchy fabrics.
The basting options are set in the stitch–out settings window
before entering embroidery stitch-out. You can also select
basting in the color block list.
Select baste around design to add a basting stitch around the
design, outlining the area where the design will be placed on
the fabric.
Select baste around the hoop to add a basting stitch around
the inside edge of the hoop.
You can select both basting options to add additional
support for certain fabrics and techniques.
Note: When activated only the basting color blocks will be shown in the
color block list. When basting is complete the color block list will once
again show the color blocks of your design.

Ghost Mode

Touch ghost mode and only the color block that is currently
stitching will be visible in the embroidery area. All other
color blocks will be greyed out.
Ghost mode can be useful when your design contains color
blocks in different shades of the same color, especially if they
are close to or overlapping each other.

Color Block Sort

Color block sort intelligently sorts all color blocks so that the
blocks with the same color will follow each other in the color
block list.
Note: Color block sort has to be selected before you start to embroider.
Once you have started to embroider the color block sort option will be
disabled.

Color Block Merge

Select color block merge to eliminate the stops between
identical color blocks.
Note: The appearance of the color block list will remain the same.
