Our patterns are also printed at a minimum of eight (8) squares per inch for your convenience. Except for Alphabets which are printed based on the best possible lay-out.

How to Read Our Patterns
Our patterns have three parts - the title page, the floss key and the graph. The title page contains the picture of the outcome and some key details. The floss key contains some key details also mentioned in the title page. These are the following: Stitch Count - refers to the height and width of the design in terms of stitches, number of colors used, recommended fabric, estimated design size depending on fabric count. It also contains the chart symbols.
Each color has a unique symbol assigned and you have to refer to the floss key to determine the color of assigned to the symbol. Each color has a corresponding DMC and Anchor thread. Sometimes, J&P Coats too. The color description is also indicated beside the thread codes. On the last column, we have stitches. This refers to the number of stitches in the design for that particular symbol. The higher the number, the more threads you are going to use. Any special instructions are also noted here. There is also a chart connection table. This table is a reference on how you are going to arrange the graph to form the entire design. It is ideal that you form the graph completely using this reference to see if you have complete pages prior to starting with a project.
The final part of the pattern is the graph or chart. This is a grid of symbols and each square corresponds to a single cross stitch. Each page has a page number on the upper left corner. The other corners may have numbers in parenthesis, ie. (2). These numbers represent the page number to be attached to the corners. If the corner has no number in parenthesis, it means that there are no succeeding pages.
