There are two types of drawings:
- Colored, squares;
- Black and white or symbolic.

This greatly simplifies the choice of colors. Color pattern is used in the case if you do not need to use threads of many shades for work. As a rule, colors can be distinguished by the naked eye.

Line lines are distinguished by a greasy color, often they are located around the embroidery itself. The symbols next to the diagram indicate the number of shades of thread that you need to purchase for work.
