Read full description

If you are involved in the embroidery business, GET!Threads is the must-have toolbox you've always wanted, but never knew how much you needed it until you start using it. β€’ Select the thread colors and get the code for each one according to the thread lines you have – an essential step for every embroidery project. With this app, do it in seconds – literally faster than any other method out there. β€’ Not only is this tool the most productive, but it's also the most effective. Its precise color matching method ensures you find the most similar colors accurately. Visualize the selected colors and their close matches graphically, along with their corresponding codes, for easy comparison. β€’ Choose colors from a variety of sources: thread charts, color palettes, photos, or even from your mobile phone or tablet camera. This is the only app that lets you capture colors with your phone’s camera and instantly shows you the corresponding thread line color codes in real-time. That's right – see the codes as you move the camera! β€’ Find equivalent or closest matching colors across various thread lines, so you can convert color codes from a line you don't have to the one you regularly use. Say goodbye to conversion charts forever. β€’.Create a list of favorite colors – the ones you usually have in stock, whether they belong to the same thread line or different ones, ensuring search results only list the codes among the colors you’ve selected. β€’ Add new thread lines, whether they are standard commercial lines or your own custom thread lines. Edit (add, delete, or change) the codes and colors of these lines. Import files with the complete definition of a thread line not present in the system library, or enter each color and its code manually. β€’ A module "Color Code Conversion" makes it easy to convert any color code from one thread line to find the 5 closest matches in a different thread line. It also allows converting all the codes from one thread line to their corresponding thread codes in a single operation. β€’ A module "Inventory Control" makes it very easy to keep the thread cone inventory record up to date. This is as simple as making an initial upload of the number of cones of each color code (the codes defined as favorites are those that will be managed), and then the corresponding movements can be recorded, adding more cones when a purchase is made and subtracting cones when they are passed to production. The number of threads will always be updated, and it is extremely easy to create shopping lists automatically or according to any criteria.

About

X Stitch Floss Finder

Features
Read full description

Floss Finder turns any embroidery floss number into its match in another brand. Look up a DMC colour and see the Anchor, Madeira, Cosmo and J&P Coats equivalents instantly, with a swatch of each so you can judge how close the match really is. It works the other way too. Start from an Anchor or Madeira number and find the DMC colour it converts to. BROWSE BY COLOUR Every thread is a colour tile, not a line of text. Scroll the whole DMC range as a grid, or narrow it to a single colour family such as reds, blues or browns. Search by number or by name. FIVE BRANDS DMC (489 colours, including the 35 newest), Anchor (445), Madeira (370), plus Cosmo and J&P Coats conversion numbers. Conversions are each manufacturer's published closest match, shown honestly: where a brand publishes no swatch, we say so rather than guess. MADE FOR THE CRAFT ROOM Tap a colour for a full-size swatch, its hex value to copy into pattern software, and every equivalent listed together. Filter to only the colours that have a conversion when you're substituting for a pattern. WORKS OFFLINE All colour data is built into the app. No account, no sign-in, nothing to download. Floss Finder is made by a cross stitcher's family, for cross stitchers. Whether you're substituting a colour the shop is out of, converting a European pattern to the threads you own, or just browsing for the perfect shade, it puts the answer in your hand.
