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. Example: 1:2 RaRa 40 2497, means the second thread color block in the first design to be embroidered is Robison-Anton Rayon 40 weight thread, number 2497. Embroidery Stitch-Out 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 that opens when entering Embroidery StitchOut. You can also select Basting in the Color Block List, by touching the Basting Options icon. 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.
