issnlort: Buying Downloadable/printable Cross Stitch Charts/patterns

What a great way of receiving cross stitch patterns on an email or a
download! Saving on postage fees and the fact that you don't have to wait
for days to receive a cross stitch chart by post is absolutely great. The
only thing you need is a printer!
As many online cross stitch stores offer amazing downloadble/printable
products, buyers have a great opportunity and many choices.
However there are some guidelines to help buyers make the right choice and
be certain that the cross stitch chart they chose is reaching their
expectations.

First browse the seller's website and read carefully what they offer. When
purchasing a cross stitch pattern you must receive the following:
* Cross stitch chart in black & white symbols or chart in color
* List of threads required
* The picture/image used to make the pattern
* The finished picture of how your cross stitch project will look like
when completed (either in virtual stitches or "real" stitches.

It is very important for the seller to offer all of the above. Another way
to be certain of the product's guality is to look for any free cross
stitch charts. Search the seller's website for any free cross stitch
patterns to download. Try to download a few and check out the quality. Are
you happy with the result? Satisfied with the chart? Are the symbols big
enough to read them? Is the pattern clear and easy to read? Is there a
complete list of threads? If you are satisfied with the free cross stitch
chart, then it is most likely that you will be satisfied with the products
this website has to offer.

Another good way of choosing a cross stitch pattern is to look for how
many colors the pattern is offering. This might seem irrelevant but it is
not. In my personal opinion taking into consideration my many years of
experience, the more colors the chart offers the better quality and
resolution in the picture. More colors in a cross stitch pattern, it means
the chart offers you details and shades. Especially if you are looking for
fine art cross stitch patterns, then you definitely need more colors in
the chart. However, be careful on the amount of colors used in the chart.
Too many colors might be difficult to keep up with and only experienced
stitchers should go for it. My opinion is that a cross stitch pattern up
to 60 colors can capture a detailed image. If you don't feel comfortable
stitching a project with 150 colors, then do not buy it.
