Design Size: 15w by 14h

* Finished Design Size:
For commonly used fabric counts (in inches):

• 11-count, 1 1/4w by 1 1/4h
• 14-count, 1w by 1h
• 18-count, 3/4w by 3/4h

Stitching Tips:
Small 2's indicate stitching two quarter stitches. Use two-three strands of floss for cross stitches and one-two strands of floss for back stitch. For higher count fabric, use additional strands of floss as needed.

* Finished Design Size refers to the actual space the stitched design takes up on the Cross Stitch Fabric. The count of the Cross Stitch fabric affects the finished design size. The higher the count of the fabric, the smaller the finished design size will be. It is important to remember that the fabric should be cut larger than the finished design size so that extra fabric surrounds the completed design.
