This is not a pattern or chart maker, it does not include patterns or designs, it is not a thread conversion chart, and it is not a seller's inventory or pricing tool.

• Keep your thread stash in one list: 505 thread numbers that match DMC floss numbers are already listed in number order, each with our short color description, a color family, a shade and an approximate swatch. Type your full and partial skeins, or just tick Have it.
• Add new, specialty or other brand threads in 245 open rows.
• See your threads by color family and shade, with filters for owned, short or not owned.
• Plan up to 100 projects: pattern, designer, fabric, count, size, total stitches, start, planned finish, status and a Focus tick.
• Link threads to projects on Project Needs. Type the skeins needed, or the stitches in a color for a rough skein estimate.
• The Shopping List fills itself with every thread that is short across your active projects, so nothing is typed twice.
• Log your stitching sessions (up to 2,000 rows) and watch percent done, a progress bar, your current streak and your monthly and yearly totals update automatically.
• Keep a pattern library and wish list, so you can see which patterns you already own.

Pick Light or Dark on Setup and every tab switches. Sample data is On when you first open it, so you can look around; switch it Off before you enter your own data. The switch never changes anything you type.
