REQUEST: Conversion Chart (or file)
/de-lurking
I have searched the web and USENET by google for a conversion chart for Dimensions Gold Collections to DMC. I have not found anything. I have done a quite a few of the Gold Collections and I have excess thread all carefully sorted. I am now embarking on a custom design. I would like to use up some of my existing thread but Pattern Maker V4 does not have a conversion for me. Can anyone help me out? TIA, -- Brigitte "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

Hi Brigitte!
I work in a needlework shop. Dimensions used to use JPCoats thread. We had a sales rep for one of the distribution companies in several weeks ago who advised us that Dimensions no longer use JPCoats. They are using a thread source that only distributes large quantity reels to mass market kit manufacturers. I have a J. P. Coats to DMC conversion chart which can be used for the older kits, however, it is only partial as several threads numbers listed in the kits do not appear on the chart.

Looks like I'm saving these threads for naught, then. I guess I could always eyeball the colours with the DMC ones if I took my palettes into the store but that would be a royal PITA. LOL! ;-) Pattern Maker converts J&P Coats to DMC so I might take a look there. Thanks for the quick response. -- Brigitte "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

I have searched the web and USENET by google for a conversion chart for
Dimensions Gold Collections to DMC. I have not found anything. Try http://www.dimensions-crafts.com. I have quite a few Dimensions Gold that I have converted to DMC. It also gives Anchor conversions, but I have never tried it. Frances Take Jacques out before replying. |

This is the page with conversion charts that I've used in the past. I've
never used it for Dimensions but it has been ok for other companies so it may be helpful. http://www.cyberstitchers.com/Stitch...rsionChart.asp Lucille "Ruth409028" wrote in message ...

writes: Looks like I'm saving these threads for naught, then. We never save anything for naught. Until my last cleaning/charity binge, I had miles of unmarked threads from kits. When I picked up a freebie chart, I'd use those. If I picked up a chart that only required a few inches of yellow thread for flower centers, I'd use those, rather than have to buy a whole skein. I used them for my doodle cloths, and to teach novices their first stitches. I used the longer pieces to make twisted cording for Christmas ornaments. Where I had plenty, I tied them together and knit Barbie clothes. Finally needed to make some room in the floss cabinet, so I bundled them all up with instructions for Friendship Bracelets and shipped them off to a charity that gives Women In Transition self-esteem through arts and crafts (and sales thereof). They're not working from charts with DMC numbers -- they're freehanding, and to them green is green. If you know someone into papermaking or clay sculpting, they can put bits of floss in for color. There's always chopping them into small bits and putting them in clear Christmas ornaments for something personalized for an embroiderer's tree. There's someone collecting craft items to send to the troops in Iraq (see archives for her address), who I'm sure would be happy to take them off your hands. Alternately, I have a contact in Iraq who'll find them a good home with some bored G.I., or you could donate to someplace like Afghanistan Women's Mission, which will give them to a woman who will use them to make crafts to help support her family. Never, never throw away craft supplies. There's always someone with a clever idea for using what you think is junk. -- Finished 12/14/03 -- Mermaid (Dimensions) WIP: Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe, Guide the Hands (2d one) Paralegal - Writer - Editor - Researcher http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |
