Questions
Before you stitch
Everything people ask before their first pattern.
What do I get when I buy a pattern?
+
An instant PDF download with a cover page and thread key, a full color chart with symbols, a black and white chart for printing, and a DMC thread list with skein counts. Charts have bold gridlines every 10 stitches and center markers. You also get the OXS file for charting apps, a coloring page of the design, and a code that adds the pattern to the free X Marks stitch tracker.
Will anything be mailed to me?
+
No. These are digital patterns only. No fabric, floss or printed copies are shipped.
How many colors do the patterns use?
+
Between 4 to 15 DMC colors, chosen for the design. Each pattern lists its exact threads and how many skeins of each you need.
Can I stitch it on 14 count instead of 18?
+
Yes. Patterns are sized for 18 count Aida; on 14 count the finished piece is about 30% larger. Pick fabric a few inches bigger than the finished size on every side for framing.
What is X Marks?
+
X Marks is our free stitch tracker for phones, tablets and computers. Scan the QR code on your pattern and the chart opens with your progress saved and synced, plus floss tracking, streaks and a timelapse of your piece.
Can I sell what I stitch?
+
Yes, you're welcome to sell a finished piece you stitched yourself. Please don't share, resell or redistribute the pattern file itself.
Something is wrong with my file. What do I do?
+
Email hello@skullncrossstitch.com and we'll fix it or send a new file. Since these are digital downloads we can't offer refunds, but we'll always make it right.
