Good points.
And yes, Click&Stitch allows you to sequence the colors by dragging
the color boxes. I often assign false colors when I edit the original
graphic to maintain better control over the sequence. After the
digitization is complete, the colors can easily be changed.
Sometimes I take the completed design into Artista to combine areas of
the same color to reduce the number of thread changes.
