Recoloring selected objects
Change the color of one or more selected objects
in your design at any time. You can select all
objects of the same color with a single command.
Use this feature to apply a change across all
objects of the same color. See Simulating design
stitchout for details.
To recolor a selected object
1 Select the object (or objects) you want to recolor.
2 Select a color from the Color Chart.
The objects appear in the new color. The current color
does not change.
Inserting manual color changes
JANOME Embroidery Software lets you insert a
color change on any desired stitch in EasyDesign.
A color change of any selected color is inserted at
the current cursor position. This is particularly
useful when working with monograms or other
lettering objects, including individual characters.
You can remove manually inserted color changes
at any time.
To insert a manual color change
1 Press
Esc to deselect all objects in the design and
deactivate the Stitch Select While Traveling tool.
2 Use any of the available tools to travel through the
design by object or color. See Simulating design
stitchout for details.
3 Use the arrow keys to locate the individual stitch within
the object where you want to place the color change.
See Traveling by stitches for details.
Note If you travel by color or by object only, the stitch
cursor will always be at the beginning of an object.
Inserting a manual color change at this point will
change the entire object’s color property.
4 Select the color you want from the Color Chart.
A color change is inserted at the current stitch cursor
location.
