Pattern details
Think Twice Act Nice cross stitch pattern PDF
- a large, beginner-friendly quote chart in soft pink and pale sky blue, ready to download and stitch today. Bold block lettering sits on a wavy striped background inside a squiggly retro frame. The unstitched fabric forms the white stripes, so the whole piece comes together with just two colors of floss
- a gentle reminder to pause, think, and be kind, in a palette that suits a bedroom, a kids room, a dorm, a classroom or a reading corner.
- Finished at 21.2 x 27.2 cm on 14 count Aida, this is a large, wall-worthy piece that is still genuinely easy to stitch: only 2 DMC colors, full crosses only, and no backstitch anywhere in the chart.
- Stitch count: 117 x 150 (9,572 stitches)
- Aida 14 ct: 8.36 x 10.71 in / 21.2 x 27.2 cm
- Aida 16 ct: 7.31 x 9.38 in / 18.6 x 23.8 cm
- Aida 18 ct: 6.50 x 8.33 in / 16.5 x 21.2 cm
- Evenweave 28 ct: 8.36 x 10.71 in / 21.2 x 27.2 cm
- Only 2 DMC colors: 747 Sky Blue Very Light and 3609 Plum Ultra Light, worked in 3 strands
- Full cross stitches only
- no backstitch, no fractional stitches, no French knots
- Partial coverage (about 55%), so the fabric itself is part of the design
- Skill level: beginner
- Design size only
- please add extra fabric for framing or finishing
What you get
Your instant download includes:
- full-color symbol chart with the notes and color checklist pages to track your progress as you go
- printer-friendly black & white symbol chart
- DMC floss color list
- realistic stitched preview
- beginner's guide
- editable OXS file compatible with Pattern Keeper, MacStitch and WinStitch. Nothing is shipped, just download, print, and start stitching today.
- RECOMMENDED FABRIC: white Aida. This is a partial-coverage design, so the bare fabric between the stitched blue stripes IS the white stripe
- that contrast is the whole look. DMC 747 Sky Blue Very Light is the palest floss in the chart and the one closest in value to the fabric, so a bright white Aida gives the crispest stripe definition. Cream or ivory also works and simply turns the white stripes cream. Please avoid dark or strongly colored fabric
- both flosses are pale by design and will not read against it.
How to download
Nothing ships. After Etsy confirms payment, sign in at Etsy.com in a mobile or desktop browser, open Your account, choose Purchases, then choose Download Files beside this order. Etsy’s app does not show the download action.
Personal use
This pattern is for personal use. You can stitch it for yourself and stitch it as a gift. Please do not resell, share, copy or redistribute the files, sell the chart as your own, or use it for mass production. The design and the chart stay the property of Stitch Jam Studio.
Good to know
You are buying a PDF chart, not a finished piece and not a kit. No fabric, floss or hoop is included. Colors on a screen can look different from real DMC floss. The preview shows how the finished piece could look. Your result depends on fabric count and floss. Files are in English. You need a PDF reader to open the charts. Free ones work fine.
Returns
Because this is an instant download, all sales are final. No refunds, returns or exchanges once the files are available. If a file will not open, the download stops halfway, or you got the wrong item, message me and I will fix it.
- Print it. Hoop it. Stitch it loud.
