Consider the finished size before you begin. Use our cross stitch calculator to figure out exactly how much fabric you need and how large your finished piece will be on different fabric counts.
Once you have picked your pattern idea, browse the DMC color chart to see all available thread colors. Each pattern idea on this page includes suggested DMC numbers so you know exactly which threads to buy.
