Pattern Corrections


Unfortunately, despite our very best efforts, mistakes do slip through to the printed patterns. Listed below are corrections for those errors we know about. If you have any questions about a pattern, or have some other error to report, please contact us and let us know.

Peruvian Window Cat
This chart has had its shading altered and two blues replaced. All new patterns will have the update.

370 --> blend 370/3011 (if stitching 1 over 1, put 3011 on the bottom stroke and 370 on the top stroke)
3761 --> ecru
827 --> 3866

There is also one stitch of 208 in the cat's ear; replace this with 315.

I would suggest keeping an eye on 3053 and 3013 as you stitch them. Compared to the other colours, they look much more green, but I don't want to make more changes than absolutely necessary.

Desert Angels
The solid X is not listed in the colour key. This symbol should be stitched with 3799.

General Comments
As I have gained more experience, I have discovered a few "problem colours" that don't stitch up quite right. I have corrected the designs in future printings to allow for this, but older patterns may still include these colours. Listed here are those "tricky" colour (all DMC).

  • 747 - this come out brighter and bluer than expected; 3865 (winter white) is a good replacement
  • 814 - in some designs this works perfectly while in others in can be too bright and too red; if that is the case, tone it down by blending it with 310 (black)
  • 966 - this is another colour that can be too bright; if it is, blend it with ecru to tone it down
If you come across anything in a pattern that you are not happy about, email me and I'll check into it with you.
