thats a great idea, i also will mark the symbol on my floss bobbin or baggie (depending on what i am using for the project) so i don't always have to refer back to my colour chart when I need to change colours or get new floss. i usually do big projects so will use a skien of floss easily so don't have any issues with marking my bobbins with the symbol
this is all really good information. Thank you so much for all your advice. I'm new to big projects and got myself in a complete and utter disaster with how to go about this.
