Thread Colors in mySewnet™ Cross Stitcher
The thread type and number of colors in a thread does not affect the display on the mySewnet™ Cross Stitcher screen. All thread types are displayed the same as rayon threads. The stitches in variegated threads only use the first color in the thread.
Note: Thread color effects such as puffy foam and special needles such as twin or wing needles are not available in mySewnet™ Cross Stitcher. To use such color effects, export your design and open it in mySewnet™ Embroidery.
