Creating beautiful photo embroidery
• Actual thread colors may differ from the thread
colors on the screen. In addition, thread colors
may appear differently on the screen depending
on your operating environment.
By editing the colors to create a user thread
chart corresponding to the threads that you
have, you can create patterns while viewing
them in colors nearest to the actual threads that
will be embroidered.
