Here I am again :pcguru: Can you tell me where you buy your threads to have the exact color for the designs in the Dolly Mama's collection. They say to use a certain brand of thread to have the exact color match.

As always thanks for you help and input.

I don't buy Isacord which is what Jami uses, but you can convert to other thread brands on the site and those will be very close to the same color. This thread (http://www.embroidables.com/forums/showthread.php?t=392&highlight=thread+conversion)gives a good tutorial on how to convert to other thread brands.

Also, you can use any color you want to use and come up with a lot of other interesting looks to the designs. That's fun to do also so don't get too hung up on thinking you need to use the exact colors on any designs you get because those are only suggestions each digitizer used based on what they liked. I tend to do the same thing though but convert to the same color in the thread brand that I use. They are usually very close to looking the same as the ones on the sites I bought them from.
