FAQs
I'm new to cross stitch. Where can I find the information I need to start stitching?
You can find the stitchy information you need right here! All of my Cross Stitch PDF patterns include a materials / DMC thread list of the necessary items, fundamental cross stitch techniques, instructions, and tips to get you going! The complete cross stitch kits available in my shop also include all of the physical materials you will need to stitch up your next project!
Are these patterns suitable for beginners?
The listings for all of my patterns include information on the level of difficulty for that specific project. I consider all of my patterns to be in the beginner-to-intermediate range. Some of the patterns may include a bit of "advanced" stitches, BUT DON'T LET THAT SCARE YOU! My instructions include information on how to conquer those "advanced" stitches. I promise, they're not as scary as you may think! ;)

What will the size of my finished cross stitch project be?
The finished size of your cross stitch project depends on the fabric count you will be stitching on. All of my patterns come with a recommendation for aida color/size, but you can stitch on whichever fabric you'd like! Check out Yarn Tree's stitch calculator to determine the finished size of your piece and how much fabric you'll need. https://www.yarntree.com/java/xstitchcal.htm
