Confused...

Oh that would be great if you could share! I just bought a color chart from
I Want My Own Color Charts but I was wondering if there was a more inclusive one.

Not sure about this, but I think there are places that do custom charts.

I actually got my first color chart from a friend and it had a mixture of Offray and Schiff on it. Since then I've moved all the little ribbon pieces onto my own chart (heat sealed them so they won't fray and used little scrapbooking photo rectangle adhesive thingys to stick them all on)that I printed on cardstock and now I'm updating it. After I finish removing discontinued colors and adding new ones I'll reprint it and move all those little ribbons to the new one. I like having both ribbon manufacturers in color order all on one chart because then there's not as much to look through and no flipping back and forth to make sure I've got the best match when I'm comparing fabrics to it. I know if the ribbon piece is Offray or Schiff by if there's an item# by it or not.

I'd be happy to share my chart when its done if anyone wants to change the pic/info at the top and then use it as a base for their own 'all-inclusive' color chart.

I'm waiting to print the new one until we hear back from Lorraine though. I want this update to last a while since it's fairly time consuming to move each little ribbon piece!

I got the chart today I will do a picture tomorrow morning.

Hopefully it helps - I have their catalogue of colos - it has my marking but I will take a pic of that too.

Sorry I did not post again on this - I am having a hard one finding old posts - I will figure it out!

But you did post again!

I'm not in any hurry, I know how busy everyone is! Did you just need a tax id to sign up and get a catalog from them? I'm nosey enough that I would love one of those, lol. That might be the kick in the pants I need to go ahead and get a tax id.

[Littlecansofbeans]

Yes I needed a tax id.

I will be sure to post a picture of the color chart when I get it - I would imagine Tuesday. Hope it helps! They have not had Offray color charts for the longest time - I have a catalogue if you ever need me to look something up for you.

I just read this thread for the first time today. JKM Ribbon did sell the "official" Offray color chart but removed them from their site last fall before I bought one (sold out). I tried to get one from another Offray ribbon site (ribbonplace.com) and was told that a new one would be coming out Feb 2008. JKM Ribbon still doesn't have them on their site but says they "may" get them in and put them back on their site but they never get enough.

I use Offray retailer online sites for color comparisons but would LOVE to get my hands on a real Offray color chart - but I don't have a tax ID. I was wondering if I might be able to purchase one through/from you. There may be others who would like to do the same - it's so much more reliable than photos on a computer monitor.

Thanks,

MichelleB

I don't have a picture but did order a couple more - I sent it to Tonya so she could do the pictures - hopefully she can take a decent picture and post it - I had lost my camera anyhoo and could not take a picture. I have requested multiple charts but need approval - Tonya should get the chart by tomorrow so hopefully she can help -
Tonya the buck has officially been passed.

No problem on the pics! I don't mind taking/sharing photos at all. As soon as I update my personal chart I'd be happy to share it too.

Thanks again Lorraine!
