Read the tile coordinates
Each PDF chart page identifies its row and column range. The tiles share one continuous stitch coordinate system without overlap. Keep adjacent pages in order and mark your starting point before stitching.
Match physical materials
The palette key gives a symbol, a screen hex color and a cell count. Screen color is not a thread specification. Compare real swatches under neutral light and allow extra thread for tails, travel and your stitch tension.
SVG output is useful for zooming and editing. The PDF is designed for compact symbol reading; a one-to-one physical fabric scale is not implied by its cell size.
Follow a tiled example
A pattern 110 stitches wide crosses two PDF column tiles. The first covers columns 1–55 and the second 56–110. Those are adjacent ranges: column 55 and column 56 are separate stitches, not an overlap to stitch twice. The row ranges follow the same rule. Label the physical sheets if your printer changes their order or you print only selected pages.
Locate a familiar shape near a tile boundary and follow its symbols onto the next sheet before starting work. The PDF intentionally uses black symbols for compact reading. The SVG is the full color chart and is useful for an overview, but printing the entire SVG at its nominal cell size may require large paper.
Use counts for planning, not a shopping guarantee
If the palette lists symbol B with 554 stitches, that is the number of full-cross cells assigned to B. It is not 554 lengths of thread and does not calculate skeins. Fabric count, number of strands, carried thread, tails and personal technique change consumption. Swatch the chosen thread colors and estimate material needs using your actual stitching method, with a sensible margin for corrections.
