Remove Colours to make Sequential Charts.

Figure out the order in which you'd like to stitch the colours. If white is one of the colours in the pattern, always stitch that last, or else it gets confused with the white squares that indicate unstitched areas.

The final page in the sequence is already made. That's the fully gridded chart. Since there are 8 colours, you can save it as something like page8.gif for easy reference when stitching.

Working backwards, to make page 7, the last color to be stitched needs to be replaced with unstitched white. In this case I want to stitch the black background last, so that's what will be removed first.

Click the colour replace tool.

In the palette click white with the left button, and black with the right button.

Double click with the left button anywhere inside the pattern. All the black gets replaced by unstitched white.

Save the above as page 7, then repeat the above steps replacing your second-last colour with white, saving that as page 6. Keep going until you're at page 1.

You now have a sequential set of charts that will be easy to follow, because it always looks the same as the colour stage you're currently working on.
