Can I find an embroidery thread number and corresponding color chart anywhere?

I am doing a complex design and can't seem to find which color thread that correspond with the numbers my embroidery machine is giving me even though I have looked through the manual and read. I will read it again. Model is Brother SE 270D. Meanwhile, Any ideas?

1. nah
2. Which color thread? As in, a specific color for a design? If so, you may want to do a little practice with different colors to see which colors work best/which colors you actually want to use.
3. I suggest bring a sample with you to the store and then pick out a color or do a test patch on the scraps of cloth you have.
4. JoAnn's has a number of corresponding thread charts, so you might try them. Good luck!
5. there is a computer program specifically for cross matching thread numbers. right now the site <a href="http://www.designsbysick.com/amember/go.php?r=5647&i=l0">Designs by SiCK Embroidery Library</a> is running a good sale and doing a group buy for the program. go take a look it's a great program if you want to use specific colors. good luck, deb
