Chart Corrections
Mistakes
happen and I will do everything I can to correct and make my charts right.
These things are usually brought to my attention by very observant people who
are in the process of stitching a design when they notice the error. I'm
contacted by phone, e-mail or flagged down on the street, but I don't mind and
appreciate being made aware of errors. I will post here errors or
clarifications to charts that I've found or have been brought to my attention.
I apologize for any inconvenience these mistakes may have caused you.
THE
BRIDE'S TREE ORNAMENT COLLECTION - BOOK 3:
It has been brought to my attention that the first printing of this book has
several symbol errors.
Error #1: The symbol for the color Whitewash is missing. The symbol is a dot
. and is used in the Santa, Angel and Teapot. I have
manually inserted the dot in the key of the charts I have on hand after the
mistake was noticed and it will be corrected if I go into a second printing.
Error #2: The symbol used for Beige is an upside down L but you won't find
it in the symbol key. I have incorrectly listed the symbol for Beige in
the KEY as a small zero. Beige is used in the Goodwill design (Santa) and
Hospitality design (teapot) and you will see the upside down L. Wherever
you see an upside down L in the charts, please use Beige.
I
will be printing up corrected Symbol Keys to be included in all future charts
sold. I apologize for these errors and if you have any questions, please
feel free to contact me.
STARS
AND MOON BABY SAMPLER:
This mistake shows up in the first printing of this leaflet. If you have a
chart with a teddy bear on the cover you have a first printing chart. The
left and right border columns on page two of the leaflet have a symbol that is
not listed on the Symbol Key. In place of the symbol that looks like a
block with the bottom half black and the top half clear, please substitute the
black heart or DMC #564. The border columns should look the same as on
page one. The second printing of this chart (it has a lamb on the cover)
in July, 2002, has this mistake corrected.
COTTON
CANDY:
On May 11,
2001, it was discovered that many stitches are missing from the chart for the
bottom fence area; specifically, the vertical white posts. Somehow, before
final printing, the symbol for Silk 'N Colors™ Snow Creme got deleted on page
two and stitches using this color do not show. Because of the amount of
stitches that are missing, I would be glad to send a correction to anyone who
has purchased this chart. Please contact me by email with your snail mail
address, and I will send you the chart correction.
**If you'd rather not wait for a mailed correction...**
1. Please add two Snow Creme cross stitches to the bottom butterfly (the ~
symbol). This butterfly should be identical to the top left butterflies.
2: Do you see the gold backstitch lines for the bottom fence posts?
Underneath these lines should be two 1/4 stitches on each post. Each post
should then be filled in around the flowers with Snow Creme (the ~
symbol) and ending up even with the Desert Dawn flowers (the + symbol) on
the bottom. Each fence post should be 11 stitches high including the 1/4
stitched top.
THE
SWING:
It has been brought to my attention that two symbols for Quarter Stitches are
missing in the girl's sleeves.
#1: Looking at the chart, from the right count over 6 blocks and then down 4 blocks. You will be in the block with the girl's arm and top sleeve. In that block and from the right, cover over 3 squares and down 9 squares. See what's missing? Do the bottom half of that stitch with a Quarter Stitch in #504 (1042).
#2:
Looking at the chart, from the right count over 6 blocks and then down 5 blocks.
You will be in the block with the bottom sleeve. In that block and from
the right, count over 2 squares. In that square you will see a Quarter
stitch missing. Do the top Quarter Stitch with #928 (274).
FOREST
TREASURES:
It has been brought to my attention that the diagram for the Leaf Stitch is a
bit confusing. I agree. The diagram seems to indicate that this
stitch is stitched over one thread and, if done, would make the finished stitch
much smaller than I had planned. If you read the instructions next to the
diagram, you will see it indicates the each square represents two threads on
linen fabric which will enlarge the outcome. You may find it easier to
follow the Leaf Stitch row on the back cover
WINTER
WONDERLAND:
The fiber list calls for DMC #9999 White. Oops, there is no white by this
number. Please use Blanc (white).
SPRING'S
GRACE SAMPLER:
It has been brought to my attention that on the chart Sections 7 and 13, which
are identical, are missing a Backstitch at the end of the rows. Please add
one horizontal Backstitch to each row. When you look at the row, you will
see immediately where I mean.
GRANDMA
SAYS:
OK, I really feel foolish here and JUST discovered this mistake while
typing this web page. It seems there is a bit of a discrepancy between the cover
photo of "Congrats" and the chart. The chart shows three
French Knots after Congrats--the cover does not. Add the French Knots if
you don't mind doing them, or leave them off as I did--but really, I didn't do
it intentionally!!
JOY:
The 16 stray blocks that are Rhodes stitches should be stitched with Holiday
Wildflowers (use the red areas of the skein) NOT Emerald Wildflowers as stated
on the chart.
