Non-existent DMC number?

So, I just made a pattern, and it calls for thread 868. Well, both places and I went to AND the DMC color card goes 844, 869, 890. There doesn't seem to be such a thing as 868. I'm kind of at a loss here...lol

Thanks for letting us know. I've alerted Terry (Support) to your message, so he'll figure out what's going on.

Hi, moonprysm.

Thanks. I'm guessing it was my fault when I was building the palettes way back when. For some reason I had entered 868 and 869 with the exact same information. I just removed 868.

We always welcome input when someone finds old, discontinued numbers, or finds anything else that's wrong.

Thanks for catching it!

Ok, so I should use 869 instead then?

If you're defining your own colors, yes, by all means use 869 instead of 868.
