What is an embroidery chart?

An embroidery chart encompasses all the details you need to stitch your project. The chart can tell you what kind of thread to use, the components you may need, and the potential threads you can pick for your project.

For eras, charts have been natively and commercially available for creating embroidery designs, especially in cross stitch designing.

Until the middle of the nineteenth century, colored diagrams in Europe and America had to be hand painted to direct the correct colors.

Later in the time, machine produced charts became available and are still popular to this day. With the introduction of machines, it opened a variety of projects to pick from.

There are numerous styles of embroidery and cross stitch applications, this is just one of many. Naturally, most people feel their skill set and style is best when it comes to embroidery, that is, using a chart, or not, though some people could care less. Regardless, others just want a nice piece of art to work with and implement into their artistic project.

This crewel piece is from a collection of vintage embroidery designs. It’s lightweight and frameable, and with the right frame, it will look fantastic.

The measurements are listed as the perimeter of the piece and the right frame would most likely be smaller and tighter fitting.

There is a stitch around the perimeter and possibly loose hanging threads around the border. There is room to tighten the embroidery when framing it.

The photographs include both sides of the piece, allowing you to look at the stitch combinations and how the piece originated.
