Creating beautiful photo embroidery
• [Brother Chart (Photo Stitch)] in the [Thread
Chart] selector is a thread chart created to allow
you to preview, in colors nearest to the actual
embroidered thread colors, patterns using
Brother embroidery threads. This chart provides
a color scheme that best corresponds to your
expected result.
However, the colors may appear differently
depending on the computer 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.
