Stitch planning checklist

  • Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
  • Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
  • Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
  • Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
