B 990 Colors Function: Color Wheel – Change the Entire Design Color
Ever wish you could shift the entire mood of your embroidery design with a single gesture? With the B 990’s Color Wheel hue slider, you can do just that—transforming your entire thread palette in one smooth spin.
One Slider, Endless Possibilities
The hue slider inside the Color Wheel lets you adjust the overall color tone of your entire embroidery design. As you move the slider around the wheel:
- Every thread color in your design shifts together.
- The colors remain beautifully coordinated—no clashing combos here!
It’s like giving your design a fresh coat of paint, without losing the harmony of your original palette.
Why This Feature Shines
Whether you're:
- Matching a seasonal theme (think autumn tones or spring pastels),
- Coordinating with fabric or decor,
- Or just curious how your design would look in a completely different colorway…
…the hue slider makes it easy to experiment without starting from scratch.
Bonus: Thread Smart Matching
As you adjust the hue, the B 990 intelligently selects the nearest available thread color from your chosen brand. That means:
- No guesswork.
- No manual color matching.
- Just smooth, smart transitions that keep your design stitch-ready.
