My understanding is that there are 2 other goups, one manufacturing printed textiles and the other a chain of retail outlets in France. Both were loss-making and being propped up by a profitable creative world. The names of the other groups are misleading. Apparently the new CEO was preparing to dispose of them, well that was until yesterday's announcement.



I agree with you guys that the this would be a very sad thing for needlework, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the administrators can find a solution.

Yes, it's not like they can charge for conversion charts, is it? Dora

LOL - no. But, a couple of the wholesalers do provide pads of Anchor-DMC & vice versa charts. My biggest problem is designers that list some of the OD silks, or cottons, by name, but we order them & hang them by number. We have a chart for WDW, but Thread Gatherer doesn't have one, and it's a PITA to have to go back into the office, get on the web and sift through looking at colors to find a number. You'd think you could get a chart Alpha and Numeric. Caron gives us both.

Got WordPerfect?

Cut and paste from the web into WP, and do a Sort By Line. :)

Got plenty of software to do this. Point is the vendors should actually be savvy enough to do that - since the order forms are by #, byt desingers tend to use names - why not be friendly to your vendors and give them what they need.
