A few more questions for y'all as I venture into the world of machine embroidery:
1. What do you do when the design you've downloaded specifies colors that don't have equivalents in your brand of thread? (For instance, what thread I own is Isacord. The design I want to use specifies Madiera, and only about 1/2 the colors have corresponding equivalents in Isacord.)
2. Can you mix brands of thread in one design? Can you mix rayon with polyester?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
