The mySewnet™ Embroidery Software will display threads in a file in the same way on any computer where it is installed. That is, the colors used will be the same even if they are reproduced slightly differently on different monitors. You can print a worksheet to see the colors and color names used in a particular design. This is true, even if you do not have all the threads in a design defined in the database on your computer. This is because a mySewnet™ Embroidery Software design has complete information for each of the threads it uses.
Each thread used in a design will fall into one of the following categories:
A thread from the Thread Database.
A thread from the Thread Database that is not on your own Thread Database because your database is out of date.
A custom thread defined in the file that does not appear in your Threads database.
The availability of threads in the Thread Database will only affect parts of the mySewnet™ Embroidery Software where you can change colors, as follows:
Editing apps: mySewnet™ Embroidery and mySewnet™ Stitch Editor
Design apps: mySewnet™ Digitizing
Below are some situations you may encounter according to the availability of thread definitions, as categorized above.
Use Check for Updates to install the latest thread database.
If you attempt to change the color, a message appears to indicate that the thread is not found in My Threads, and the nearest My Threads match is selected. Use Import Threads from Embroidery in mySewnet™ Thread Cache to import the custom threads, or select a replacement thread.
