The color worksheet on the Design Panel shows the order in which the thread colors are used. A group of stitches using a particular thread color is called a color block. Each new color corresponds to a Color Change
command in the embroidery. There can be unlimited color changes in an embroidery saved in .vp4.
The color worksheet can be used to change thread colors, to hide and show the stitches in any of the color blocks, and to add thread effects. The numbers show the order in which the colors are used. See Change the Colors in a Bumblebee Embroidery.
When you pause the arrow pointer over a thread color in the worksheet, the corresponding threads in the embroidery are highlighted. Also, a popup description of the thread color appears.
To show only the selected color, right-click the color block and select Show only this Color from the context menu.
The color worksheet can also be used to change the order of the color blocks, and to merge color blocks. See Move and Merge Color Blocks.
The first color in the embroidery is at the top of the list. The check boxes show which color blocks are hidden. The numbers show the order in which the colors are used, and the samples show solid blocks of each thread color in 3D.
Double-click a thread sample, or select the thread and click the change color icon
to access the Color Selection dialog box and select a different thread color, or add thread effects. Click a check box to show or hide a color block, as shown here:
