Spanish speaking users i need help!

Can anyone tell me where i can find a conversion chart for articolor threads to dmc or anchor?

Yup! That is a very good choice to work on with a punch needle. :D
Nice price too. You have a good nose for this!

I read that the cloth is a bit elastic en flexible. That normally is the case with polyesters.
So if you put it in the embroidery hoop it can have the tendency to shift while you work on it and put some pressure on it.

You can fix this by taking one of the two hoops and wrap some thin cotton ribbon (not satin!) around it.
Even some thin cloth from you emergency kit will do very nicely here.
Just clamp it up girl! :)
But not too rigid. As that can leave permanent pressure marks on a polyester fabric.

Perhaps this is the brand youre asking about?
In my Colour Cards File I recently filed these from Articolor (from Argentina).
Its not floss but monofilament just like the Vaupel & Heilenbeck thread.
Articolor is acrylic.
As far as I know there is no conversion chart to be found (on September 2020).:(
Maybe these colour charts help us out a bit?

All i need is a conversion for articolor numbers 147, 21, 22

So I understand you need the Articolor conversion for 3 shades of antique mauve.
Mauve is a pale shade of purple often mixed with a little hint of burgundy red :D

With a calibrated computer screen I checked those 3 digital Articolor colours + with the help of the complete colour gamma of DMC & Anchor I have here.
Of course with a colour conversion between brands its almost never the same shade.
So the numbers below are advice only.
The final choice of colours must depend on the rest of the colour palette that you already have in the pattern.

Articolor 147:
DMC Baby Pink 818. Also possible DMC Light Baby Pink 819.
There is no direct substitute in the Anchor range for Articolor 147.

Perhaps you can use Anchor Soft Carnation 271 or Anchor Light Amethyst 869.
As said it all depends on the whole of the pattern palette.
Articolor 21:
DMC Medium Antique Mauve 316
Anchor Dark Antique Mauve 1018

Articolor 22:
DMC Light Antique Mauve 3727, also possible DMC 778 Very Light Antique Mauve / DMC Ultra Very Light Shell Pink 225
Anchor Medium Antique Mauve 1017

I underlined the best substitute possibilities.

Another thing crossed my mind: 1 strand of floss is thinner than the Articolor thread.
That is the same problem with Vaupel & Heilenbeck thread that is also a monofilament.
You will have to experiment with using 1 or 2 strands of floss to get the evenweave fully covered.

:D Please share with us what you chose to do with your project.
Im sure everyone would like to learn from your experience !!!
