Dave, if your design is alternating black then white or whatever, just set up the first 2 colors and somewhere in the Amaya OS is the "wrap colors" command. Don't have the OS on right now, but will someone chime in with more info if you can? Russell is right about the order, some software programs have "an intelligence" that can tell if like colors are overlapping so that when you "color sort", it will not put those like colors together to stitch continuously and ruin the integrity of your design. The HV home program color sorts as do many others, just not familiar with them.

I guess I'm more use to desktop publishing rather then digitizing. I'm use to just clicking the color and having the printer do it. With DS it seems to just pick whatever color is next in the pallet and then when I sew it out I have to remember to change the colors to match the needle. It's just a difference in thought process for me. What get's me is there must be a way to combine all of the same colors into just one color change so to speak. I have a design that I did that is black and white, it has 1-black, 2-white, 3-black and 4 is white? I'm sure there must be a way to get needle 1 & 3 to be just one, and 2 & 4 to needle 2. Oh well, I'll review the cd's again too and see if I just missed it.
