Color Guides for Machine Embroidery Threads

This thread color chart is packed with valuable information. It will help you sort through the hundreds of available colors from various embroidery thread. Whether you need to use a specific embroidery thread color for the next project or just want to classify the color possibilities in your favorite thread brands, the machine embroidery thread color chart is beneficial. For the best digitizing service, please feel free to contact us.

Not to mention, if you are in the embroidery business, color charts with wired samples can help you show customers who need custom colors. It's much easier for them to choose from the color chart than to show them the whole rack!

The thread color chart can be downloaded online and printed or purchased with a physical copy of the thread color sample.

Fortunately, for most major embroidery thread brands, these color cards are easy to find, and I found all the color cards I can find in this master list.

Therefore, please check the embroidery thread color table of most major manufacturers below!

Embroidery thread color card

A printable color chart is richer than a physical chart, but viewing the color chart on your device may give an incorrect color representation. Not to mention, an uncalibrated printer may not achieve perfect tone.

If you just want to add thread color with name and number, you only need a printable embroidery thread color card.

However, if you need the perfect embroidery thread color code, you'd better buy the chart with color plate from the manufacturer or your favorite embroidery shop.

Therefore, if possible, I listed the locations where you can access the downloadable thread color chart for printing, and then I listed the sources of purchasing physical copies.

Finally, do not confuse these charts with the embroidery thread color conversion table, which helps to convert one thread brand to the closest color in another thread brand.
