Design size describes the stitched bounds, not cloth cut size. The chart grid includes blank layout margins. Add finishing margins with the fabric calculator.
The PDF includes a digital preview, a DMC color key with stitch counts and estimated thread amounts, center marks, numbered grid lines and clearly marked page overlaps. Both A4 and US Letter downloads are ready above.


Start with 14 ct Aida and 2 strands of embroidery floss. Use the thread key below and a needle suited to your cloth. Check pale threads against your chosen fabric before starting; dark outlines help keep the light details readable.
Work the beak, eye and tail from the symbol key before filling larger feather areas. Keep the light cheek or breast markings separate from the dark wing when choosing substitute colors.
