Please be aware that several specialty fabrics are still nursing multi-month fulfillment times, and most dye their orders on-demand. As much as everyone would like for everything to be "back to normal", it's going to take time. Mystic Fabrics is around a 2-3 month turnaround, FBS is WYSIWYG, WDW is rather random and varies by color/count. If you don't like the possibility of waiting on fabric, it is strongly recommended that you be open-minded to the idea to ordering a comparable substitute by another fabric vendor.
If you're ordering an item that we can source via alternative/multiple distributors, we always attempt to do so. However, some products, such as Caron Collection flosses, for example, are only accessible to us via Wichelt, who is reporting a solid 30-45 day processing time.
Enjoy!

At last! This fabulously handy Cross Stitch Gauge has gauges for all your stitch counts: 11, 14, 16, 18, 22, 25, 26, 28, 30, 32, 36, and 40. Three openings across this 3”x10” tool make it easy to count your fabric. Also has rulers for inches, as well as centimeters, so if you know you have 50 stitches, you can tell how many inches that will be when stitched on different counts of fabric just by looking at your gauge. Made of durable white plastic and printed with black ruler markings. (use #1) you simply lay it on your fabric and see where the markings line up with the fabric threadsto find the count of your fabric.

(use #2) If your chart says the design is 80 stitches wide, you look for the 80 marking on each stitch count slot, and that will show you how large 80 stitches is in each count on the ruler.

(use #3) Say your chart is 170 stitches tall x 90 stitches wide and you like to start stitching at the top, not in the middle. Use the cross stitch gauge to find where the top of your design is. Place the correct count gauge slot with 0 (zero) at the center of your fabric and the numbers to the top, look where 85 falls and that would be the top line of your design.

If you like to start stitching in the top left corner of the design, as many do, you may use the gauge to find the left border of the design as well, by placing the correct fabric count slot horizontally at 0 and finding 45 (which is 1/2 of 90). Manually follow up that row vertically to find the intersection with the top of your design and that will be where to start stitching.
