Double-click to change color in Editor

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

1 - Run Embird and click the "Editor" menu to switch to the Editor window (Picture No. 1).

2 - Open the file you want to edit. Select the "File > Open" menu to open a file (Picture No. 2).

2. Open the design

3 - Select the design in the dialog box that appears on the screen (Picture No. 3).

3. Select the file to open

4 - The design will appear on the work area. There are boxes containing design colors on the right side of the screen (Picture No. 4).

4. Design on work area

5 - Double-click the color in the design that you want to change, e.g., the light olive color on the lioness's eye (Picture No. 5).

Note: Of course, you can also double-click the color in the color box to change it. However, it is easier to double-click the color in the design in the case of a design with many colors, as it might be hard to locate the right color box in such a case.

5. Double-click the color

6 - The mouse cursor will move to the color box with the clicked color on the right side of the screen. A menu will appear allowing you to change the color, choose it from the thread catalog, etc. (Picture No. 6).

Note: The clicked stitch will be selected—drawn in red—it is stitch no. 4678 in this example. It might be helpful if you want to change the type of the double-clicked stitch or split the design on this stitch.
