An' I was only sayin' !
The desperate pleas for charts here does raise my eyebrows.
But, many do like to see what the original digitiser had in mind,
before they end up doing their own thing anyways :->
>>I have yet to meet a fellow sewing Lady in any of the sewing fests I

>>Mostly it is because of their individual colour sense.
>>I like fresh, soft colours. More in the spring range.
>>I have friends who gravitate towards the warm colours of autumn or the
>>stark colours of winter.
>>Things like that.
>>I would be interested to know the numbers of people who can get their

>>A shoppe would have to be particularly well stocked to carry thread

>One of the most confusing aspects of Willy learning I stumbled on was

So does Hus software, so does Artista... so does just about every
program now. Thread companies insist on having their product known.
Useless palettes that many wimmins do not use as an everyday thing.

I doan know if Wilcom does it, but some programs have a setting where
you can combine two different colour threads and have a "new blended"
colour as a selection.
/snicker... that should mess wiff your head!! /laff
I'm sure Hus software does it now.... and has done for a long time.

The same.
I'm sure I have used the Taubman's/Dulux colour chart simile on you.
??
It's all in your head, this colour dilemma.
People, at the end of the day, use their favourite colours.
Regardless of what the chart says.
>>Do you know Pooh Bear has His own colour number in one brand of

>>this, or even care??!!

You doan like red shoes??

You reckon you need those turkey fillets??
ROFL
Your boobies are prolly bigger'n mine....

Yer mixing it up! They are "impressionable" until they are 7.
It's like slow setting concrete. They soak up everything.
They doan remember anything except the spectacular stuff before the
age of five.
Doan underestimate the powers of a stable home life, even if the
school system lets you down.
Children look to their family for stability. Nuttin' else matters as
long as Mum and Dad are there when needed.
It's not the teacher's job to raise your kids for you.
If the kid has a safe place to "fall", then everything else is easy.

You turned it into a rich brat/poor brat argument!!
A brat is a brat!

No points for that either!
Money doan buy you manners.
Yeah... like ASCII... /pffffft....
load of rot... /laff
Say what you mean, mean what you say!
>>You just have a richer set of trash up there, is all.
>>Money doan buy you intelligence or any kind of graces.
>>Rich brat, poor brat... a brat is a still a brat.
>>
>Tis what "new money" delivers. The "mining boom" no less:-/

Money is money.
A mining brat is still a brat like an "old money" brat.
The "old money" brat thinks it is genetic and a birthright.
Money doan buy you a better quality brat.
>>No rain for two days. All good!

Mehe... /offers hankie.... /snicker...
Yeah, well... nuffin' in Broome 'cept new money and lots of dirt and
flies!
Oh, and overinflated prices for pearls! Bought mine at the newsagent
in Broome!! Everyone thinks they are real cos I went to Broome!!
