Frequently asked questions
What will I receive?
Each pattern comes as multiple PDF files. You'll receive a selection including colour / black and white, without the backstitching (if applicable) and often different sized symbols for easier viewing. There is also usually an A4 paper size, and a US Letter size.
A sample pattern is shown in the listing but this is just a section of a random pattern to give you an idea of what yours will look like, and may not reflect the same design you are actually purchasing. If you wish to see a sample of the actual chart, just ask.
Some patterns will have two designs in one, in which case you will receive a selection of PDF charts. This is because Etsy only allows 5 files per listing. If you require a different variation, just ask.
Can you send me a different view?
Each pattern can be rendered in several different ways (e.g. different sizes, symbols, colours, with or without backstitching), and I try to include a good variety to find something that's easy on your eyes.
Etsy only allows me to attach 5 files per listing, so I often can't include all variations of a pattern. Please do get in touch if you'd like something different and I'll be happy to send it across
How do I get my files?
Once you've completed your purchase you'll be able to download the files. There are a number of ways to do this, listed here: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115013328108
To view PDF files you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader or another way of reading PDFs. Acrobat can be downloaded free here: https://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
How do I print my pattern?
First choose the file you wish to print. For black and white printers, and for simplicity, I recommend printing the 'symbols' or 'BW' file (rather than the 'colour symbols'), but if you have a colour printer or just prefer the second file, it's there!
Most patterns have two paper options: A4 and US Letter. The file names will include either 'A4' or 'US' . Once you've chosen the right file for your paper, all you need to do is click 'print'! Make sure it's full scale and not 'fit to page'.
Please note: some older patterns are only in A4, but I'm in the process of updating these. If you need a paper size not provided, please just get in touch and I'll get it across to you.
The symbols in the pattern are too small. What do I do?
I've tried to ensure a good balance between the size of the symbols and the number of pages to be printed so paper isn't wasted. That said, if you do find the symbols too small to work with, just get in touch and I'll gladly enlarge the pattern for you so it's easier to work with. This way it will print over more pages, and each symbol will be larger.
How much thread / fabric will I need?
Thread: More recent patterns have a thread chart photo to tell you just how much you'll need. I'm working on adding this to all my listings but it will take time. In the meantime feel free to drop me a line and I'll send it across.
Fabric: The pattern listing states the size in stitches and in inches on different counts of Aida (usually 14, 18, 20, & 28 count) to give you an idea of how big your finished piece will be depending on your choice of fabric.
Pattern Keeper Compatibility
Our files are compatible with the Pattern Keeper app (although it does not yet support backstitching / knots). For best results, choose a file with the pattern spread over a single page.
Most of our pattern files feature 3 different versions (black symbols, colour symbols, symbols on colour). To avoid confusing the PK software, make sure you only select ONE of these versions when uploading your file. If you'd like a file featuring only one version, please get in touch and I'll send it right across.
Do you have any free patterns?
Absolutely I do! Visit the website for loads of freebies; I add to them all the time.

What kind of packaging do you use? Do you offer gift wrapping?
I don't currently offer gift wrapping All kits come in their own box and are then wrapped for shipping, so the original packaging remains clean, unspoiled by address labels and travel dirt. This means you can gift them on easily.
I upcycle wherever possible, and I've spent a lot of time ensuring the rest of my packaging has as little environmental impact as possible. Full details can be found on the website: https://www.fandomcrossstitchery.com/eco-friendly
Needleminder Magnet Info
To use the needleminder, place the decorative piece on top of your fabric, and the lone magnet underneath. Place needle on top of the decorative piece. To separate magnets, slide apart.
The magnets used for our needleminders are incredibly strong and can jump together from several inches apart. Do not place skin or body parts between magnets as they can be pinched or trapped.
The magnets are brittle. Do not allow magnets to slam together as they can chip, crack, or shatter.
Keep away from children;needleminders are not toys nor are they intended for use by children. Small parts can be swallowed and can cause serious health issues.
Keep away from anyone with a pacemaker or a nickel allergy.
Keep away from electronics & magnetic media.
