Using the Windows®2000/XP Color palette,
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.

of the screen.
You see the Thread Chart Dialog box.

4 Click the black square to change the
thread color.

for the color.

The new color is added to a custom
Thread chart.
