WHY ARE THE ART OF STITCH DESIGNS SO POPULAR?

 
The Art of Stitch has spent years listening to their customers and with their feedback, The Art of Stitch has designed easy to follow charts of beautiful artwork. The charts are organised into Bookmarks, Mini stitches, Standard designs and Premium designs. The Art of Stitch has to date a total of 395 designs in our repertoire.
 
  • The Art Of Stitch uses 30% bigger symbols than normal charts in the market. 
  • The Art Of Stitch uses easy symbols for you to follow. Dark symbols symbolize the dark areas of the chart and light symbols show the light areas. Just from looking at the chart, you can pretty much see the whole picture.
  • The Art Of Stitch has chosen the colors carefully to ensure the most colors to produce the best results. The product images you see are the final stitched patterns. It's that good!
  • On every page of the chart, there is a page map to show you exactly which part of the design you are at.

HOW DO YOU SORT THREADS?
 
We've all gone through the headache of buying a kit with a bunch of threads that you have to presort yourself and match the colors.
The Art Of Stitch kits are prepared and designed by professional stitchers so they know what you want. Please see below the image below.
 
 
 
The Art Of Stitch uses DMC threads, they are cut (usually more than you need) and pre-sorted in labelled cards for you. Symbols and the color codes are all printed beside the threads. All you need to do is pull out the thread you want and start stitching.
 
Mini, Bookmark and Standard designs come with a black & white chart while Premium designs have colored charts. See below the examples of a black and white chart (Standard) and a colored chart (Premium).
