Less Snippy Released October 16, 2008

by Carol Harrop

Tired of struggling to snip in between letters when stitching words
and letters? Here’s one method to help avoid that extra snipping.

When you program your wording into your machine for stitching, make
each individual word a different color, then the last letter of each
word will be ‘signed off’ and you start the next letter with a cut
thread.

Of course you don’t ‘really’ change the color of thread during the
actual embroidery, but you have essentially ‘tricked’ your machine
into thinking that that is your intention.

Never thought of that one, I always reduced the number of colours by using "colour sort". Thanks for sharing this tip (BTW are you allowed to share the tips? wouldn't want to get you into trouble about this).

Yes it works but you have to start it again after each letter.
