Is it really free?
Yes. No account and no email. The PDF is made in your browser and downloads right away.
Can I use my own font?
Not yet: choose one of our three lettering styles.
Can I sell what I stitch?
Personal use only: make it for yourself or as a gift. Please do not sell or share this pattern or the PDF, and do not sell items made from it.
Are the colors exact?
Screen colors are close to DMC floss, not exact. Check your real threads in daylight before you start.
