The canvas is always bigger then you need so you can make a pillow or a wall hanging from it. Leave about 2 inches on all sides, (top, bottom, left side and right side). You should always begin your pattern at the bottom left hand side. Do the bottom line going toward the right. Then go back and start the second line on the left hand side and go to the right. Keep repeating until you finish.

Good luck!

Is there any way you could send me the color chart for this? I lost mine and I have no clue where to find another one to finish it.

Thank you!

Your not alone..my canvas isn’t cut straight..two sides are on a angle like someone was drunk & couldn’t walk a straight line..the chart is so tiny it’s nearly impossible to count the squares..I have no idea where to begin because when I count the box that contain the ten squares the columns I have on my mat don’t add up to what the chart has..
