Painted Canvas vs. Charted Patterns

Painted Canvas

• Choose your own stitches.
• Choose your own threads: texture, color, solid, variegated.
• By making decisions about the piece, you really make it unique; you make it your own.

Charted Patterns

• The Chart tells you exactly what to do and where to put it.
• Tells you what canvas to get, what size you need, what could you need, and what color you need.
• Tells you what thread to get and how many of each one.
• Tells you exactly what stitches will be used, shows you how to do them, and shows you where to put them on the canvas.
