Beautiful thread color combinations for your embroidery, with an online tool
Embroidery thread palettes for every day of the week
Firstly, it is a pleasure to receive new stitch palettes at the start of every week. They inspire and balance me for the week to come. Seeing these palette combinations helps me think laterally even in my study (I am doing a psychology degree). This site helps me coordinate not just threads, but also fabric backgrounds. I also utilise inspiration from the palettes in my paper quilling painting. Thank you for your hard work and generosity in putting this content together every week.

I absolutely love this website! I am so inspired looking at your color palettes and often pause to imagine how I might use one color combination or another in my stitching. The Palette Generator here is a phenomenal tool - I come here to put in a particular DMC number to get so many options and directions to go with my design work. I am so glad this website exists! Thank you for all your work in providing this wonderful resource!

Ever since I have discovered your Stitch Palettes, I feel much more confident when choosing thread colours for my various embroideries. I have always had difficulty especially with greens and yellows, and in the past have come home with shades of these colours that just don't work when I try them on the piece. With the Palettes, groups of colours that work together make it much easier to choose the shades that I need. Thank you again.

I want to thank you for your very thorough and helpful Stitch Palettes and associated photos. I design embroidery and am often asked to work with colours outside my comfort zone. Your work makes my life a lot easier. Thank you for all your hard work.

I love the Stitch Palettes. Not only did I find the palettes I needed for a couple of my own pieces of work, but I have used your palettes to think about colours in a different way. It's encouraged me to be more adventurous in choosing colours for my work. Thank you.

I love Stitch Palettes. I always check the latest palettes because I enjoy looking at the pictures and how she has pulled the colors and matched them to DMC threads. I use them for everything I do. Embroidering, quilting, needlepoint, they are so helpful in pulling together the perfect palette. Thank you so much for doing this for the artist community!

Who is "Palette Picks & Perks" for?
This membership is for embroiderers who are tired of second-guessing their color choices and want help picking colors that just work. It's also perfect for artists who need to explore a variety of color combinations before that spark of inspiration hits.
How do I access the private palettes?
When you sign up, you'll create your own account with a username and password. To access the daily palettes and the Photo-to-Palette tool, you'll need to be logged in. The exclusive content is only available while you're signed into your account.
What makes the membership better than the free palettes?
The free palettes on my website are a great resource, but they're no longer being updated - the collection has stopped growing back in 2023. With the Palette Picks & Perks membership, you'll receive 7 brand-new, exclusive palettes every week, plus instant access to the Photo-to-Palette Tool to create your own from any photo. It's fresh, ongoing inspiration you won't find anywhere else.
Why a membership and not a one-time fee?
By making this a paid service, I’m able to dedicate the time and energy it takes to consistently create high-quality palettes and keep this inspiration flowing week after week. This is a labor of love, and the subscription model ensures I can continue to deliver something beautiful and useful on a regular basis.
Do you offer any refunds?
Absolutely! Give the membership a try and if you feel that it falls short of your expectations, simply email me and I'll issue a full refund.
Can I cancel my membership easily?
Yes! You have multiple ways of cancelling your subscription. You can easily do so by logging into your user account and editing your preferences anytime. If you chose PayPal as your recurring payment method, you can also cancel your membership from within your PayPal dashboard. And of course, you can always email me and I'll cancel it for you if you don't have time to do it yourself.
How many conversions can I make per month?
As many as you like! There is no restriction on how many times you can use the converter, have as much fun with it as your time allows!
What image formats are supported?
You can upload any .jpg, .jpeg or .png file to the converter and it will process it. HEIF or .webp images are not supported at this time. If you feel that this is a dealbreaker for you, please get in touch with me. If enough people request this feature, I'll build it into the converter.
Will this work on my phone or tablet?
The converter is fully responsive and works on most smartphones and tablets. If you have a newer iPhone, you might need to convert your photos to the above-mentioned formats first before uploading them to the converter.
Does it consume a lot of mobile data?
It can, so be careful. If you are on a metered connection, you might want to switch over to WI-FI instead. It all depends on the images you upload, but if those are high quality, they might come with a large file size, thus taking a toll on your data usage.
This subscription is designed to be more than just pretty colors in your inbox - it's a weekly creative boost, a time-saver, and a resource you can turn to again and again for guidance and ideas.
I'd like to say thank you for the unbelievable site you have, and all the wealth of information on it. I stumbled upon it and immediately knew it was the "answer" to my color problems. I have purchased all four of your catalogs and will make immediate use of them. I can always envision the colors I want to combine, but never had a way to figure out what threads make those color combinations. Thank you for your site and your products.

I'm so pleased that a friend introduced me to your website. What an inspiration it's proved to be. I'm learning to look at colour in a different way and have more confidence to work with combinations that I would probably not have considered before. It's having an impact on the way I choose and use colours in embroidery and it's also improving my colour blending skills when preparing fibre for spinning. It's a great resource and one that I'll keep coming back to.

I find Stitch Palettes to be a unique resource. Beautifully presented and inspiring. The palette examples offer immediate colour choice solutions but also the challenge of working with colour combinations maybe not previously considered. Definitely an additional tool of huge benefit to any crafter not just stitchers. Thank you for all your hard work - and sharing your amazing skill.
