Optimize colors

Some fonts are multi color, Each character will stitch each color in sequence, if you would like to stitch each color for all letters , click this option. However, keep in mind that on a few letters, this option is probably best, While on many letters, stitching like this can cause the second color to not line up properly. Good hooping and proper backing is a must
