What it means

Color changes and sequencing complexity are high enough to create operator burden.

Why it matters

Production practicality matters, not just sewability.

Common triggers

  • many fragmented colors
  • single-needle machines

Typical fixes

  • merge colors
  • simplify sequence
  • choose another machine profile

Notes

  • Related to TOO_MANY_THREADS but more operational.
