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.
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.
