Setting up the Machine Needle Palette
The Needle Palette dialog is intended to display, within the Autograph
program, the thread colors that are physically on the embroidery
machine. Once set up, this facilitates the process of matching the
colors in your design with the needle colors, for the purpose of
outputting the design to the machine.
The Machine Needle Palette is installed "pre-loaded' with a set of
default thread colors already assigned to each needle. Using the
Setup Machine Needles
tool, you can determine which colors in
the thread chart are on which needle.
To change threads in the Machine Needle palette:
1) On the List Tab, click the Setup Machine Needles button.
You see the Machine Needles dialog.
