Change an Existing Thread Color
The Color Selection dialog box will appear when you double-click a thread color in the color worksheet, or select a thread and click the Change Color icon
. You may choose any thread shade from the available thread manufacturers' palettes (for instance, Sulky Rayon 40 or Robison-Anton Cotton 50) or a thread you have added to MyThreads. Select colors by visual selection or by typing in a shade number. Alternatively, click one of the Quick Colors to select the nearest matching thread color. Once the desired color is selected, click OK. (See Quick Color Themes.) Optionally, add a thread or needle effect to the selected color block.
When you select a new thread color, the color worksheet will show the change and the work area will show the block of stitches in the new color (assuming the stitches are not hidden).
