This product includes the "Sew She Did" cross stitch pattern, featuring full-color instructions, diagrams, and a supply list with suggested DMC and AuriFloss colors, printed on 11 x 17-inch cardstock.
Do I need to buy thread and fabric separately?
Yes, this product is a pattern only. You will need to purchase your own cross stitch fabric (10-count recommended) and embroidery floss separately.
What size fabric should I use?
The pattern is designed to work on 10-count cross stitch cloth. This will result in a finished piece approximately 10 x 14 inches.
What is the finished size of the cross stitch?

Can I use different thread colors than the ones suggested?
Yes, you can use different thread colors. However, the suggested DMC and AuriFloss colors are provided to help you achieve the look intended by the designer.
What does 'Pattern Only' mean?
'Pattern Only' means you are purchasing the instructions and design to create the cross stitch yourself. You are not purchasing a finished, embroidered item.
What frame size is recommended?
The finished design is intended to fit within a 12 x 16 inch frame.
Troubleshooting
Pattern is difficult to read
Ensure the pattern is well-lit and unfolded completely. If smudges are present, try to clean the area gently with a dry, soft cloth.
Color matching issues
Refer to the suggested DMC/AuriFloss color codes. If using alternative threads, try to match the shades as closely as possible or consult an embroidery color chart.
Finished size is not as expected
Verify that you are using 10-count fabric and that your stitching tension is consistent. Ensure you are not substituting fabric counts.
Instructions are unclear for a specific stitch
Review the corresponding diagram closely. Look for online tutorials for the specific cross stitch technique if further clarification is needed.
