Brother photo stitch thread?
« on: July 13, 2022, 14:43:10 PM »
Just digitising a design and i have noticed that on the PE Design 10 there now appears to be a photo stich thread list. The colours seem to be more muted than the standard satin finish but not as matt as the Country thread. A anyone come across these threads? I have done a search but cannot see any.

Are they actual threads?  Or are they a selection that are best for use in photo stitch?
I’ve never heard of them and can’t find anything either

@Ohsewsimple  My software shows a list of all different brands so I took it that they are actual threads. They have the same colour names as the satin and country threads but are different shades.
There is a list for the flesh coloured threads used for photo designs but i have all those.

How weird @sewmuchmore
Might have to do some investigating.

@sewmuchmore in the manual for PE design 11 there is a piece about this.  Yes it is a thread chart based on the Brother threads.  I believe it’s been designed to give a better appearance on screen.  Something that is closer to how the stitch out will look.  I’ve never done photo stitch so it’s a bit of a mystery to me. 
Don’t know if this would be of any help

@Ohsewsimple thanks for the link. Despite having done a few photo stitch designs (trail and error) i have learnt a thing or two from watching this and have bookmarked to watch the rest of the videos. Although she is using PE 11 i can't see that it is any different to PE 10. Still a bit confused about the thread chart because she does show you other brands.
I will contact Brother, but won't hold my breath as they have never replied to any other query i have had.
