View colorways

A ‘colorway’ is a color scheme or palette of thread colors. It may also include a background color, fabric sample, or a product image. In WilcomWorkspace, you can define multiple colorways for the one design. This means you can stitch out the same design in different colors on different fabrics. You can also print multiple colorways, icons of color blocks, and design backgrounds with the production worksheet.

If your design contains multiple color schemes or ‘colorways’, you use the Colorways tab in the Toolbox to view them. Colorways are frequently used to re-purpose designs for different colored fabrics, locations, or garments.

Note that colorways can be used in conjunction with background colors.

Click the first swatch in the colorway and choose a suitable background from the popup color picker.
