Symptom:

If you find that the first color of a design is missing when stitching the design on a Barudan machine, it is because your Barudan machine requires a color change function code at the beginning of the design stitch data. The following procedure is needed to add a colour change function code at the beginning of the design stitch data automatically, thus avoiding such issue.

Solution:

This solution works when the Machine Format setting is the Barudan related Machine Format, such as, “Barudan Z Series” or “Barudan”, etc..

1)   Go to Design > Machine Format Settings… menu

2)   In the Standard tab, tick the checkbox for “First CC required”

3)   Click on the OK button

Note: a color change function code will now always be added at the beginning of the design stitch data in the Barudan related Machine Format.
