1. A method for rearranging an initial sequence of same-color individual parts of an embroidery image containing a plurality of colors, using a computer pointing device and a software tool, to obtain an optimal sequence of embroidery that minimizes the appearance of stitching on an embroidered product with an embroidery machine, the method comprising the following steps:
a. software tool displays the embroidery image on a computer screen and illustrates the initial sequence of embroidery using arrows, entry points, and exit points;
b. user clicks on a first individual part of the embroidery image;
c. the software tool generates a list of same color individual parts, that are immediately before or after the first individual part that would share the same color as the first individual part;
e. user re-arranges the initial sequence of embroidery to achieve an optimal sequence of embroidery that minimizes the appearance of stitching on the embroidered product by dragging a same color individual part to another same color individual part to achieve a closest connection between same color individual parts; and
f. repeating the same process for other individual parts of the embroidery image if a plurality of other individual parts are to be embroidered in a different color.
