Dragonfly, by Angela Porter a Cross Stitch Pattern by Paine Free Crafts

Paine Free Crafts licences a wide range of art from all around the world. We carefully edit and convert the art using photo editing software and specialised cross stitch software to create cross stitch art that looks exactly like the mockup shown on the front cover of the chart package. Thankyou for your interest! This chart is not a full coverage one - the white background is not stitched. It's perfect for hand dyed fabric!

We recommend you stitch on a fabric count you are comfortable with. The larger the count, the more squares there are per inch, and the smaller the finished piece will be. With larger finished pieces, the detail will be more visible, the further you stand away from the image. This ideally should be stitched on 18 count or higher fabric, and the floss usage chart has been calculated using 2 strands of floss over 1 stitch on 25 count evenweave. You will find that your floss usage will change if you use fewer or more strands, and different sized material.

Stitched Size on 14 count: 22.64 x 35.36 inches or 57.51 x 89.81 cm on 14 count fabric Stitched Size on 18 count: 17.61 x 27.50 inches or 44.73 x 69.85 cm on 18 count fabric Stitched Size on 25 count: 12.68 x 19.80 inches or 32.21 x 50.29 cm on 25 count fabric

You'll need about 11 skeins of DMC 310 (or your chosen colour) if you're stitching with 2 strands of thread over 1 stitch on 25 count fabric. Other strand usage / fabric count will change the amount of floss needed.
