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.
