I have just bought the emily peacock HUG chart but there are no instructions re amount of fabric required etc and I' m not very confident about calculating size of patterns .I was planning to stitch on evenweave . Any advice much appreciated, thanks

Here is a link to a stitch calculator I like to use

Just enter the stitch count into the boxes... hopefully they at least gave you that information
As for the fabric count, when I am not sure what I want to stitch on, I just enter either 28 or 32 ct and adjust from there depending on the dimensions they give me

thanks for the link ,I can make a start now

One thing I would recommend, after my first large project ended up being drastically off-center:

Find the center of your project and start there. OR, mark the center, and count out from there. I NEVER trust my counting from an edge. I will ALWAYS find center first.

thanks for your tips, I have started to stitch I think its going to take me a while and I must try not to get distracted by starting something else ( well not yet anyway)
