Cross Stitch PDF charts can contain a mix of different page types: charts, keys, pictures, covers, skeins, and instructions. In this stage of the wizard, you tell the app which page is which, and how they fit together.

Each page-selection step uses the same page picker. Tick the pages that belong, skip the ones that do not, and press Next. You can be picky: only the pages you choose become part of the project.

Chart Layout

Four short steps: pick the pages with the stitchable grid(s), point out the keys and any pictures, then arrange how multiple selected chart pages fit together.

The Four Steps

1. Select Chart Pages
Pick the pages that contain the stitchable grid. Every project needs at least one. Full guide.
2. Select Key Pages
Point out the symbol key so the app can match each symbol to its real thread colour later. Full guide.
3. Select Picture Pages
Choose finished-design pictures to keep as a reference while you stitch, and for your project cover image. Full guide.
4. Set Chart Layout
For charts split across several pages, arrange them into the right rows and columns so they join into one continuous grid. Full guide.

Did you know?

  • Nothing is deleted: leaving a page out never changes your PDF, it just keeps that page out of the project.
  • Keys and pictures are optional: a project with only chart pages works fine, so if your chart has neither, just set the chart pages and move on.
  • Pictures do double duty: as well as an on-screen reference, picture pages can be used as your project cover image on the dashboard.
  • You can change your mind later: press Previous from the Markup step to walk back here and re-pick pages at any time.
