Questions, answered

Are the patterns really free?

Yes. Every pattern marked free can be downloaded as a PDF at no cost. Patterns are free for personal use.

What is in each PDF?

A cover with a preview, the colour chart, the DMC thread list with stitch counts and skein estimates, and a QR code that leads back to the pattern page.

Which fabric should I use?

Any even-weave fabric works. The finished sizes on each pattern page are for 14-count Aida, a popular choice for beginners; a finer count gives a smaller piece, as the size table shows.

How many skeins will I need?

Each thread list gives a rough estimate in six-strand skeins, based on 14-count fabric and two strands. Treat it as a guide, and buy a spare if you stitch loosely.

I do not use DMC. What now?

The charts are written in DMC codes. A thread conversion chart for your preferred brand will give you the closest colours.
