I have a two part question. Is there a way you can take a design and when you go to the color palette if you click it shows an "X" - if you do that will that color then not sew out. I have a design I want to delete a color. Also I tried digitizing a logo with no luck so I had a professional do it - and I have bobbin thread breaks about every 5 - 6 stitches - very irritating. The design was digitized for Amaya as well as tajima format. I know there are small stitches what can I do to fix the problem. Would anyone be interested in looking at the design - it is a 3 letter design with 2 circles around it and the letters have shadows. Anyone's help is much appreciated - I'm at my wits end!

Oh yeah...worst case scenario for eliminating a color in a design is to have the stitching of the design stop before the color you want to omit (or stop the machine manually). You can easily do that by putting a "HOLD" in the color selection in AmayaOS before the target color. Then you can manually advance the design to the next color you actually want to stitch by pressing the "needle carriage" button (upper-right on the pad)+ the "Up" button to advance one color at a time. Or you can also advance to a specific color number in the sequence by using the AmayaOS software on the computer.
Hope this helps.Jim Sulsona

Thank you for your help on the color deletion - I knew there had to be a way. I will try it tonight when I get home from my "regular job" I ended up redigitizing the logo myself last night I didn't have nearly as many false bobbin breaks plus my density was a lot better than the one I had professionally digitized. I had a little problem with small satin border that is 1.4 that the bobbin thread was coming through ever so often but overall the design looked much better. Thank you for your help - great to know you've got friends when your pulling your hair out at midnight trying to come up with solutions to misbehaving machines!Beckie Henderson<br />Bee-Utiful CreationsComment

Jim, You mentioned putting a color on "HOLD" in OS and I'd love to know how to do this. I was afraid that would have to be done in Design Shop, which I don't have; I have Generations and tried to stop the machine after a certain color and it didn't work. Thanks for the info!!

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... [img]smile.gif[/img]Jim Sulsona
