Debbie, it's not really that you put a "color on hold", or that the digitizing 
can tell the machine to stop at any point, but rather that the machine "pauses" 
at a predetermined spot in the stitching process - which, by the way, you can 
only make happen BETWEEN color changes from within the AmayaOS software.  When 
you insert a "hold" into the color sequence, it's like you tell the machine, 
"please stop here when you get to this point so that I can do something 
manually".  It's no different than hitting the stop button at that point, but 
if you don't happen to be in front of the machine at that time, it will stop 
there for you!  You will need to hit the start button again to get it to 
continue stitching.

In order to insert a pause into the stitching sequence, you need to specify it 
when you are assigning color/needle changes to your design.  For example, if I 
want the machine to pause after the 2nd color has stitched but before the 3rd 
color starts, then within the color sequence dialog box, I would assign the 
color/needle changes as so:

COLOR 1
COLOR 2
 -HOLD-
COLOR 3
...etc... 

To my knowledge, there is nothing you can put within a digitized design that 
tells the machine to stop stitching at a certain point.

Hope this helps clarify things...     :)
