colors to a custom thread
chart

you can add new thread colors to a custom
thread chart. The available manufacturer’s
thread charts may not have all the colors you
want or the colors are not a close enough
match to your colors; therefore, you can
create your own using the Thread Chart.

thread chart:

Click
at the bottom right-hand corner
of the screen.
