Hi everyone, I've recently discovered Gutermann glass seed beads and find them nicer to use than Mill Hill. The only problem is nearly all charts refer to Mill Hill beads. Does anyone know of a conversion chart or have any other ideas short of finding a store that stocks both and doing a side by side (cause I can't find one near me!)

Well, I'm not really sure if this will work, but I have an idea for you!

If you can dig up a conversion chart for Gutermann to DMC floss you can use this chart http://www.millhillbeads.com/images/bea ... ersion.pdf" target="_blank that lists the Mill Hill to DMC floss colors.

I'm not super familiar with Gutermann beads, are their numbers congruent with the numbers on Gutermann thread? If so, I found a program that has a free demo that will give you color conversions for tons of different thread brands.

I hope it helped! Matching beads with thread is such a fussy process.

I'll have to track someone down that knows about the Gutermann beads and their numbers and if they do. That's a really good idea Listessa, thanks =}
