Conversion Charts for Machine Embroidery Threads

Comparing Robison-Anton #122 Rayon to Madeira Rayon

Though I'm partial to Robison-Anton embroidery thread for my finished embroidery, I do have an extensive inventory of other brands. When I want the colors and blending to be as close as possible to what I specified during the digitizing, it's time to compare/convert the brand thread product numbers.
That's where this conversion chart comes in handy. I hope you find it useful, too.
You can click any of the three column headers to resort the information alpha-numerically.
Clicking 'Default Sort' resets the chart to its original display.
Due to various limiting factors, the actual stitched color out may vary from what is displayed on your screen.
