Smocking plate collections
Each collection is a set of eight smocking plates in standard graph notation, delivered as a ZIP of print ready PDFs and SVG charts. Every plate carries a sizing table for chest sizes 18 to 28 inches, a floss estimate and row by row instructions. A collection costs $19 once and nothing recurs.

Try before you buy
Fifteen free plates use the same charts and the same floss estimate, and the Plate Designer is free. If they suit your stitching, the collections give you more plates already sized and laid out.
What you receive
Each ZIP holds eight PDFs and eight SVGs plus a read me. The PDF prints on US Letter paper with a one inch square so you can confirm the scale, and the SVG scales to any size.
How to choose
Pick by garment: bishop dresses and nightgowns for heirloom yokes, jon-jons for boys, sundresses for summer tops, bonnets and bibs for small pieces. If you are still learning, start with the geometric beginners set or the wave and trellis sampler, and try free plates before you buy.
