Working with Thread
Charts
Changing the colors in
designs
Xpressive provides several thread
manufacturer charts you can use to add or
change the thread colors in your design. The
color palette on the left side of the screen is
the default set of thread colors or the colors
that are used in the active design.
If your design is not a Xpressive Unified
File (*.ESX), we recommend that you
save your design as a Xpressive Stitch
File (*.EMD). Some embroidery machine
formats do not include thread color
information. Saving your file as a *.EMD
allows you to recall the design with the
same colors in the future.
To change the colors in designs:
1 At the bottom left-hand corner of your
screen, right-click the color you want to
change.
2 Choose Thread Change from the shortcut
menu.
You see the Thread Chart Dialog appear.
3 In the Chart list, select the thread chart
you want to view.
4 To select a color from the color chart, do
one of the following:
In the Thread Chart Dialog box, use
the left and right navigation arrows to
browse through the colors in the color
chart and select the color you want to
use.
In the Color box, enter the name of
the color you want to use and click
Search.
In the Code box, enter the code of the
color you want to use and click
Search.
5 Click OK.
The new color replaces the existing color
in the design workspace.
