PCStitch palettes for Perler and PixelHobby colors
Posted: Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:22 pm
I posted a Perler palette a while back, but this one is improved.
To install these palettes, you need to have hidden folders visible. To do this, click the Start menu, Control Panel, Folder Options, the View tab, and select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives".
Then, go to your C: drive, and open the ProgramData folder, PCStitch 10, then Flosses. Open these zip's, and drop the .col files into the Flosses folder, and then you should be able to select Perler beads or PixelHobby when you import or create a pattern.
Hopefully this helps some people!
Unfortunately the PixelHobby palette only has Manufacturer ID's, not descriptions, so you can't sort them by "rainbow order." I'll work on that, and post an updated palette when I get there.
I got the colors for the Perler beads by standing them on end in my scanner and pulled their colors with Photoshop. For PixelHobby, it's the exact colors that are shown on the manufacturer's website.
