Madeira Thread Chart
Dakota Collectibles prefers Madeira rayon thread for test sewing and displaying designs. Simply click to download your printable copy of our thread chart.

The thread charts are available in two different PDF versions. The Numerical Chart is listed in numerical order by thread number. The Color Chart is listed by thread color families. For example, shades of blue are listed together, with their corresponding numbers.

     

How to Use the Charts
When sewing a Dakota Collectibles' design, match the text color listed in the catalog by simply matching it to the names on the thread chart. For example, if Red is listed in the color changes, simply find Red on the chart, with its color number. Use the first color listed such as Red, or choose from the remaining reds listed on the chart, such as Red2, Red3, and so on.

Converting Thread Charts
If you do not use Madeira as your thread of choice, our Dakota Sizer or AlphaSizer programs have a thread matching system built right inside, to easily convert from one thread brand to another. Not a Dakota Sizer or AlphaSizer owner? You may also download a trial version of either program for free and use the thread chart to convert from one brand to another.
