a Note:

Thread colors in embroidery patterns created with this application may appear differently on the embroidery machine, depending on the model used.

2.Embroidery machines with a function for displaying thread colors

Of the thread color information specified in the embroidery pattern, only the thread color names are displayed on the machine.

However, the names that are displayed are limited to the machine's preset thread color names. Therefore, the machine displays the names of its preset thread colors that are closest to the colors specified in the embroidery pattern.

3.Embroidery machines with a thread color index

Some machines can display the thread information specified with this application. However, for thread colors that have been edited or added by the user (thread colors with an asterisk (*) at the left side), only the thread number is displayed.

b Memo:

The edited user thread chart can also be used on a different computer. Simply copy chart2.btc from
