You can copy colors from other charts or mix them yourself. You can also set the code, description, brand, and thickness of existing threads. Remove obsolete thread colors for good housekeeping.

2Create a new chart or open an existing one from the Name list.
3Click Add to add your own colors or Edit to change selected thread details.
4Enter code, name, and chart for the thread color. Code is the identification number of a thread color in a brand.
5Select the appropriate thread thickness. These values are added to or subtracted from values used in the Auto Spacing table for specific stitch lengths.

Tip: Lighter weight threads do not run so well in a production environment as the machines need to be slowed down in order to avoid thread breaks. However, lighter weight threads are good for very small lettering and fine-detail designs.
