Thread Chart Downloads
Wilcom comes stocked with many industry leading thread charts. Users also have the ability to modify these charts or create their own charts further customizing their Wilcom to feel more like their own program. When a thread manufacturer begins to offer a new color that isn’t in the stock chart, you can easily add the color. You may also elect to rename the standard color descriptions or tweak the color assigned to a particular thread color.
Below you will find thread charts which have been modified in one way or another. We offer them as a FREE download to further enhance your Wilcom system and easily distribute thread charts created by other Wilcom users. Download the thread chart of your choice and follow the instruction below on how to install them in your Wilcom ES system.
