I just got some radiant embroidery thread. Does anyone know where to get a conversion chart. My machine does not give numbers and the only thing I can find gives one color at a time and I DON'T want to go there for every color. there mustbe a print out somewhere. thanks ,Sherry

I'm using Radiant rayon. I got 350 spools on ebay and so far it is pretty good. Good colors, but there sure are a lot of them. When the machine just gives you a number and I have no idea what that little part is I get confused. I put grey udders on my cow.

There isn't one. For some reason all my patterns are just a picture. I thought it gsve me a chart before but it doesn,t now. If I GO TO EMBROIDERYDK it has a chart and I can compare it visually. By the color next on the list I can tell what it is but if I don't stay online while I'm working I'm confused. I'm new to everything, computers, online, machine embroidery, all of it. I'm most grateful that I stumbled onto you guys. A year ago I was stumbleing along on a walmart simple machine. Now my seams are even and straight and I've learned a lot.

Ok I figured out how to get the machine to display a color instead of a number of the color. I guess I can live without a color chart. we changed it in class and I was really lost for a while. It's all a learning expierince.
