Note:
Thread colors in embroidery patterns
created with this application may appear
differently on the embroidering machine.
1. Embroidery machines without a function
for displaying thread color information
The specified thread information cannot be
displayed on some machines.
2. Embroidery machines with a function for
displaying thread colors
Of the thread information specified in the
embroidery pattern, only the thread colors
are displayed on the machine. However, the
thread color names that are displayed are
limited to the machine’s preset thread color
names. Therefore, use thread color names
in the embroidery pattern that are closest to
the machine’s preset thread color names.
3. Machines with a thread color index
Some machines can display the thread
information (such as the color, the color
name as well as the brand name and thread
number) specified with this application. The
machines can display the color, the color
name as well as the brand name and thread
number.
However, for items edited or added by the
user (items marked with an asterisk (*)), only
the thread number is displayed.

Memo:
The edited user thread chart can also be used
on a different computer. Simply copy
chart2.btc from the Color folder in the PE-
DESIGN 8 folder (application folder) on the
original computer to the Color folder at the
same path on the destination computer.
