Per Robin's (Samplerbird) comments under "Dimension Ciphering", not all charts are 100 X 70. For those of you that are further along....how have you been compensating for the differnet size charts? The majority are 100 X 70, but GHI is 101 X 72, JKL is 101 X 70 and PQR is 100 X 72.
Any help would be appreciated:)

I was wondering the same thing because I counted all of these out and 'N', if I'm counting right, is 74 letters wide. I'm going to be working along the right row first - letters A, J, and S. Then I'm doing to do B, K, and T. My thought was to leave one space and stitch the widest one first so that I would have a frame of reference for the other ones. Then leave two spaces between the rows to compensate for being 100 or 101 stitches high. Does this make sense?
Deb, I think that's a good plan. So far, the J has been just tiny bits sticking beyond the bounds of 70 wide, so I've just let those little bits hang out. The ruler on the S hangs out by one stitch as well. I suppose that may bother me eventually, but I'm hoping not! lol! I'm leaving 2 stitches in between and only left one stitch between the A and the J to compensate for the 101 height of the J. I didn't notice that the N was 74 wide! Wow! Thanks for pointing that out! That will definitely have to be compensated for. But the others I'm hoping to either do a bit of chopping or just leave the bits to hang out. Most seem to just have little bits hanging so hopefully it wouldn't look too bad. I suppose I should be planning more diligently. lol! (Hi Holly! Long time no see!)
My compensating plan is to ... is to ...
okay, fine ... the only plan I have so far is to follow Margaret! LOL No pressure Margaret!
Well, I went back in and looked at the Flicker picture and it looks like the person who did this left four spaces between each block and two spaces between each row, so I'm going to do that. We'll see what happens.
Ah well, too late for me to do that! lol! Mine just may be weird. Which is fine! Sandy, follow Deb! :D
Here is what I plan to do....I will be working vertically from left to right. I will pull the first three charts which are A,J, and S. I will find the center on all three, place a basting line and work out from there. If all the charts are the same width, all is cool. I will place 2 stitches between each row....this will provide some easement between those charts that are 101 in heighth. Now those pesky charts that vary in width from 70 to 74, I will center each column and determine how much space needs to go between them...I'm thinking the 4 between will provide enough easement...We'll see how it goes:)
