Designs are made up of individual embroidery ‘objects’ grouped by ‘color block’. These are listed in stitch order in the Color Film. Use it to optimize your design by resequencing selected color or objects. Generally, you aim to keep objects of the same color together in order to minimize color changes, trims, and frame movements. Fills are always stitched first, details, including borders or small areas, last.
Note There are instances where colors have to be split, particularly where the same color is used for fills and details.
