From chart to cloth

Choose your fabric count before cutting the cloth. The dimensions above describe the stitched area; add a finishing margin for your hoop, frame or bookmark backing.

Print the PDF at 100%. Its thread list names each DMC color; chart pages repeat two stitches at joins. Count the repeated stitches only once. Use the fabric calculator to plan other counts.
