What's In A Chart?

Most cross stitch patterns are supplied on paper in booklet or leaflet form; some charts come as chart packs - individual sheets in a display bag and these can be convenient as you can work from a single sheet easily attached to your chart holder. These types of chart are delivered by airmail to you if you live outside the UK.

Many people now download their cross stitch patterns direct to their own home computer. This has the advantage of not having to wait for the mail and giving you a chart that can be magnified on your screen without loss of clarity. You can print out your chart on your own printer page by page as you work through it.
