H E L P ! I have a question for you, the darling 3 part blocks on Designs by Sick. It is calling for 30 or more thread changes. Is this design a 'in the hoop' type design? When I tried to look at it in embroidery layout it looks like a single row of 1 color, then 1 row of the next color. Almost like adding fabric changes? Not sure - has anybody done these yet? Thanks in advance.....

Could you give a link to the actual design so we can see it?

I agree with Lique - the colour changes are simply to stop the machine.

Hi
I think you are talking about the crazy quilt blocks. There are lot of colour changes because of placement and attachment lines. You need to think about it as applique. The first line is stitch on the back ground, then you place a piece of material on top and stitch the attachment line. I then cut the material off as close as possible to the attachment line. You continue adding pieces of materials till the whole square is covered with your choice of materials. Then the embellishments are added. They are great fun to do and the greatest fun is choosing the right materials. I have made one my self (own design) and absolutely loved it. Good luck.

Good question. The answer has helped me to understand how to complete these blocks that I have collected.
