How to choose a chart

Pick stitch sizes that fit your fabric and frame, and watch the color count if you want a faster stitch or minimal floss purchases. Larger stitch counts and more shades add detail but take longer to finish.

  • Match stitch count to your fabric to estimate the finished dimensions.
  • Limit colors for quicker projects; choose richer palettes for detailed pieces.
  • Open a design to view the PDF, color key, and notes before you start stitching.
