Does everyone download the thread charts that go with the embroidery designs and if they download them where do they store them. is it in the same file as the designs?

I do not download the color charts. I think the only time I would is if you had a specialty design like the "Hummel designs" that you would want to be very specific to get the look. I always pick what I like to do my designs.
23222If, after dl and looking at the design, the colors resemble what I saw, then no. But not all files show up in the machine as the picture showed. Brother threads have a lot less shades than say, Madeira or Sulky. I usually right click and keep a jpeg or bitmap of the picture, then I know I don't have to rely on my memory. I like when designers include a txt with the colors listed. That shows up in my software, whereas a pdf file does not. Then I have to make notes to look onthe cd of designs.

32948I make a .pdf (I use CutePDF - a freebie) of the color chart and name it the same as the design and store it in the same folder with the design. My software and machine are "color-blind" so having the chart and a picture of the finished product really helps sometimes.
11271If it is something with a lot of colours then I name it the same as the Pes file, so they stay together. I usually use what I personally like
255050I save some of the charts with the picture of the design. I either save a pdf or use the snipping tool..and save them with the same name as the design..
186310I have a Brother Innovis 1200 and it lists the colours when the design goes into the machine. Guess all machines do the same. I have downloaded a colour chart from the Brother site and use that as a guide. Have laminated the colour chart as well. Lyn
29801I do not download them, but if I did I would store them in the same folder as the embroidery design. I like to decide my own colors Hugs Sally
