FAQs
What exactly am I purchasing?
You are purchasing a cross stitch pattern and instructions (ISEP401) to create the 'Farm Girl Fall' sampler, not the finished embroidered item.
What size will the finished cross stitch be?
The pattern is designed to finish at approximately 9 x 9 inches when stitched on 10-count cloth.
Do I need to buy specific threads?
The pattern includes suggested DMC and AuriFloss colors, but you can use equivalent threads or choose your own color palette.
What fabric count is recommended?
The pattern is designed to work best on 10-count cross stitch cloth.
Are there instructions for finishing the piece?
Yes, as a bonus, the pattern includes instructions for finishing the stitched sampler as an 18-inch square pillow.
Can beginners use this pattern?
While the theme is beginner-friendly, the complexity of cross-stitching itself requires some basic knowledge. The clear instructions and diagrams are helpful for those with some prior stitching experience.
What are the dimensions of the pattern paper?
The pattern is printed on durable 11 x 17-inch cardstock.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty reading pattern instructions.
Ensure the pattern is well-lit. If the cardstock is creased, flatten it carefully. Refer to the suggested DMC/AuriFloss color chart for visual guidance.
Stitches not matching the finished size.
Verify that you are using 10-count cloth and counting your stitches accurately. Ensure your thread count and stitching method are consistent with typical cross stitch practices.
Delay in receiving the pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is a cross stitch *pattern* and includes instructions only. To begin stitching:
- Gather Supplies: Ensure you have the suggested DMC or AuriFloss colors, appropriate 10-count cross stitch cloth, embroidery needles, and a hoop or frame.
- Understand the Pattern: Review the full-color instructions and diagrams provided on the 11 x 17-inch cardstock.
- Transfer Design (Optional): While not always necessary for counted cross stitch, some prefer to lightly mark their fabric for guidance.
- Stitching: Follow the pattern's instructions for placing stitches.
- Finishing: Once stitching is complete, use the provided bonus instructions to finish the piece as a pillow or adapt it for other decorative purposes.
Compatibility: The pattern is designed for 10-count cloth. Suggested thread colors (DMC and AuriFloss) are provided, but substitutions can be made based on personal preference.
Care: The pattern itself, printed on cardstock, should be stored flat and away from moisture to maintain its condition. Finished stitched items should be cared for according to the fabric and thread used, typically gentle hand washing and air drying.
