Hello, I have the Tajima DG 15 by Pulse software. I’ve noticed I am unable to change the 16th or above thread color steps when I have a design more than 15 steps. I understand that there should only be 15 needles for embroidery purposes. However, if I have a design that uses repeated thread colors, then how can I set the thread colors on those steps? Thanks.

Hi,
That is correct a DST design can only have up to 15 colors. One of the reasons for this is a head on a machine can have up to 15 needle colors. If you load a DST that has more then 15 color changes in the software then the colors will repeat starting with needle 1 for the sixteenth segment and so on.
Thank you
Keri

Hi - If I'm understanding you right, go to your thread chart, do a left click and it will ask you if you want to add that color as needle #... in your design. (If my picture came through, you will see that I have more than 15 colors ...)

Hello,
Thanks. And yes, I've done that too. However, needle #16 is set to be needle #1, needle #17 is needle #2, needle #18 is needle #3 and so on. That's why I have difficulties setting my own thread colors. Thanks.

Ok, then give this a try. Once you've added your extra colors to give you more needles at the bottom, go to your sequence view and highlight the second needle #1, then go down to the bottom and click on your new needle 16 colour. Then, your 2nd needle #2 would be your new needle 17, etc. Hopefully that made sense. (Was that what you were trying to do?)
