When you create a thread chart, you are creating a store of colors to use in your designs. For instance, you may want to create a chart consisting of threads you already have in your collection. This may include multiple brands of threads. Having a pre-sorted list in your own custom thread chart makes it easier to match and replace design colors with your available threads.
