Instructions

This PDF contains the following:

  • instructions and recommendations,
  • a photo of the finished cross stitch design,
  • description of the pattern (e.g. sizes),
  • DMC thread key/legend,
  • printable embroidery charts, and
  • a diagram of how to layout the chart pages (multi-page charts only, if more than two pages).

If required, we provide an alternate backstitch chart colour. This aids in distinguishing similar colours. E.g. where black and brown coloured floss occur, they may be shown as red and blue on the charts.

Chart Types

Where applicable, we supply two versions of each embroidery chart.

  • Multi-page charts – included as part of the Instructions PDF.
  • Single-page charts – provided as individual PDFs for easier use on devices e.g. iPad.
