With Luca-S and DMC threads
Start with any tapestry image or your own picture. On a phone, you can take a photo directly. Make sure the full motif and any color chart along the side are visible.
Enter the width and height of the motif you want to embroider in centimeters, excluding the border. Choose the canvas, stitch technique, number of strands, and number of kits.
Color samples, Luca-S and DMC codes, a skein estimate, and an easy-to-understand explanation are generated. We save the result to your account, and you can also download it as a PDF.
If there is a printed color chart, we use it as an important reference. We also recommend significant colors visible in the image but missing from the chart, and explain why. Without a color chart, we work directly from the motif.
Colors visible only on the chart and not identifiable in the motif are marked separately. We do not invent usage proportions or thread quantities for them.
We show which colors are needed for the background, shadows, or an important detail. The recommendation also indicates uncertain areas of the photo and additions to the chart.
A phone photo provides estimates of colors and areas. Lighting, the canvas, and your own stitches also affect the final result. Check the threads with a physical color card, and check consumption with a test stitch.
In your store and at home
A customer brings in a tapestry, you photograph it, and then select the recommended threads from your shelves. For multiple kits, we round up to a full skein for each color and each kit.
