I don't have the answer but hopefully someone will so I will put you back at the top. I would like to know too!

I have asked several times to no avail. I think some of them have edr files in them which I believe is a color chart that you have to have Embird software to read.

Yes that is something I would wish for too. Right now I keep the pictures which are included in the file or I go back to the design when I am ready to embroider it and copy the color card.

I download packs if they are available but don't worry about the colour chart as I usually make it up as I go along. If I want to be more specific, particularly using a design from this site, I just have a quick look at the colour chart on the computer screen. I don't keep printouts of anything if I have them on the computer anyway. Life is too short!
