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.

Can you print out a jpeg picture of your project? Many embroidery designs have that included so that you can see the color better. I like to print that out and any other info they give me...it makes it easier to see the color changes and such.

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.

LOL Mine just got sprayed with coffee!!! I think that we all have made some interesting color choices at one time or another, thanks to color charts.......

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.

I am so happy that you figured this out :D:D:D
