| A Touch of Holly |
(in JCS Mag. Dec 1996) Star Ornament: The
symbol 1 should be DMC 762. |
| Autumn Faerie |
(These corrections do not all apply to the
book of four faeries. Use them as needed)
 | In the forward most
wing, there are some missing symbols: |
| Square box with
diagonal slash from bottom left to top right
should be DMC 3787
 | (in the
four faeries book, this is still an
error) |
|
| Diagonal slash from
bottom left to top right and one dot above and
below should be DMC blend 436/3778
| (shown as
434/3778 in the four faeries book, use
whichever suits you) |
|
| Diagonal slash from
top left to bottom right with dots above and
below should be: DMC blend 738/3743 |
|
| Birdhouse Bellpull |
See Treetop Sampler (below) |
| Brilliant Plumage |
Some of the charts incorrectly list the
size of the fabric needed for this design. For example,
with a 160 x 160 stitch count, the design size on 25 ct.
fabric over 2 threads should be 12.8" x 12.8",
not 6.5" x 6.5" as listed. (don't forget to
allow extra for finishing!) |
| Camelot Sampler |
The number for the #12 pearl cotton is #
388 med. ercu, not 833 as shown on chart. |
| Carousel |
| There are a few 1/4
stitch symbols missing on the canopy's upper
right hand side. There is no "official"
fix, so use whatever you think looks best. |
| It has been
suggested that you may need 2 skeins of 611, 612,
613 and 3031, and 3 skeins of 610 for this
design. |
| the chart in the Carousel kit has
a repeated column of stitches. It is the column 2 squares to
the right of the 3rd jewel from the right at the top of the
carousel... the jewel just before the pink awning starts up. |
|
| The Castle |
| The "||"
symbol that appears in the confetti on the foot
should be "#" (793) |
| The "A"
symbol that appears on the confetti on the tail
should be "x" (729) |
| On the right side
of the spade-shaped part of the tail, there is a
vertical line of 3 "x" symbols on the
left side that should be symbol "r"
(315/3041) |
| The chart and the
picture on the front are different. The picture
has 3 claws but the chart has 4 claws. |
| All the
"filled-circle" symbols on the lower
right-hand rocks should be the same (414/3041). |
| There are some
"V" symbols on the trees at the bottom
that should be "del" (upsidedown V)
symbols (3345). |
| The "/"
symbols that appear on the left wing on the far
right "feather" (between some
"3" symbols and some "script
e" symbols close to the tower) should be an
"x" (729). |
| There some 1/4
stitches missing in the dragon's outstretched
wing that you can just fill in using a nearby
color. |
| The re-printed
leaflet has pink and magenta backstitch lines on
the chart which are not shown as pink and magenta
on the color code/instruction page...only as
black and grey. This is a printer error,
and if you have one of these leaflets, please
call Customer Service at Leisure Arts:
1-800-526-5111. They will supply you with a
corrected color code/instruction page which has
the proper color backstitch lines indicated at no

|
| Castle Sampler |
| The symbol listed
as a lower case "u" should be a script
"u" - DMC 762. |
| The symbol
"v" on the throne should be "v
with a dot in the center" - DMC 644. |
| The symbol that
look like a reversed "L" should be
"arrow pointed to the southeast" - DMC
415 (may be correct in kit version) |
| The symbol
".." should be ":" - DMC 3774
(may be correct in kit version) |
| The "arrow
pointing SE with a skinny head" in the
queen's headdress should be an arrow pointing
down towards the right with a filled in head, DMC
blend 3743/762. |
| In the far-left
tower of the castle, 5 rows below the roof, there
is an "upside-down left facing L" that
should be an "upside-down right facing
L" like the other symbols nearby. |
| It has been noted
that there are a few mistakes where a single
wrong symbol has been charted. If the color looks
wrong, try replacing it with one of the nearby
colors. |
| Helpful Hint: The
space between the M and the N on the border is 4
spaces, not 3 like the rest. |
| On the re-printed
leaflet, there are several rows missing from the
chart on page 3 (Section 1) of the leaflet.
Please contact Customer Service at Leisure Arts:

| Dragon Ride |
| Some stitches were
ommited when the chart was converted to color.
They are on the over 2 (main) chart at the blank
spaces (for the over-one), at the front edge of
the rider's head. Add the following stitches to
the main chart:
| row 1: add
a stitch using 598/794 |
| row 2: add
a stitch using 598/794 |
| row 3: OK |
| row 4: add
a stitch using 597/793 |
|
| Also, there are a
couple symbols on the chart that are
"+" with a blue background on the
dragon's head, near the mouth area. They should
be "+" with a gold background. |
| And, along the
bottom part of the border in the top straight
part of the 6th "link" there is a P
symbol where there should be a 5 symbol |
|
| English Cottage Sampler |
| There were letter
put after the numbers on the Mill Hill Beads on
the chart's floss list. These should be ignored
as they are not part of Mill Hill's numbering
system. |
| The lazy daisy
border around the swans (the upper right hand
corner where the U is on the topmost righthand
block - count 3 stitches to the right) has a leaf
with the symbol "K" that should be the
symbol "L". |
| There are some
errors on the trellis in the border in 3 or 4
places. It is shown in some places when it should
not be and missing from others. |
| The Q is missing
two backstitches from its tail. Look at the R to
see where the Q should be similar. Also, the
lowercase Y is missing it's tail. |
| Only 3 rows of the
chart were shaded on the overlap instead of the 7
that should have been shaded. |
|
| English Garden Sampler |
| There are about 5
quarter stitches in and near the top peacock that
don't have a match on the chart floss list. They
should be 3013. |
| Ignore the 3 solid
diamonds near the top of the right topiary that
should not be there. |
| The fountain scene
perimeter backstitch should be done in 3362. |
| Some charts may
have an error in the floss key were the symbol
that looks like a capital S lying on it's side
was left out. It should be a blend of 415/927. |
|
| English Garden Welcome |
| The blank spaces
between the leaves in the narrow border and
around the WELCOME should be filled with the iris
beads. The symbol is a bullet with an x through
it. |
| Another symbol that
is missing is the infinity symbol, DMC 3013. This
should fill in the blank spaces above the bridge
and on either side of the far grassy bank. |
| In the special
instructions for the last satin stitch, the 5232
should have been listed as 523. |
|

| Be careful on the
number of spaces between sections in the chart.
It has been reported that in the book of all 4
horses, vertical overlaps have 11 spaces instead
of 10! |
|
| Fantasy Triptych |
| Some 1/4 stitches
are missing their symbols. The first occurence is
in the bottom right corner of the castle panel up
against the border. The second is around the
Maiden's head. The suggested fix is to fill these
with a color or blend that matches a symbol next
to the blank spots. |
| On the chart, the
bead holes in the borders are not showing a
backstitch like the other bead holes in the
panels. Suggested fix: DMC 610. |
| There is a gap
behind the maiden's head next to the foreground
tree. Suggested fix: 502/3363 blend. |
| There is a missing
symbol for a half stitch at the bottom of the
unicorn's mane (three over from the tree trunk).
Suggested fix: DMC 524/3013 blend. |
| There is no
backstitch listed for the horn. Suggested fix:
DMC 413. |
| The seal is missing
from the center of the shield on the knight's
horse. Suggested fix: DMC 316/3726 blend, to
match the other five seals on the armor. |
| Just below horse's
nose, the green stripe is missing a half stitch.
Suggested fix: DMC 502/3363 blend. |
| Suggested fixes for
backstitch on the border: DMC 611 on the extreme
outside edge. The 610/3787 blend for the
wood-like brackets at the bottom corners of the
panels. DMC 610 on everything else. |
| Helpful Hint: Watch
carefully in the Knight panel around the top of
the horse's legs. There are 3 different
half-filled circles symbols in that very small
area that are similar (filled left, filled right,
and filled bottom halves). |
| Helpful Hint: If
you are stitching on 28 count you might want to
purchase extra of the following: 422, 452, 453,
502, 503, 610, 611, 612, 613, 3032, 3033, 3363,
3787 to maintain the same dye lot. |
|
| Fortunate
Traveller |
| Over-one
chart: The bird contains the symbol "+" which was
omitted from the color code. It should be stitched using DMC 453.
This color is represented in the code by another symbol: both
symbols should be stitched using DMC 453.
| Alternate
spelling of "Traveller" chart (on page 19 of leaflet):
The center arrows are located in the wrong place. Move the arrows
to the right (7) seven chart blocks. |
| The design

244H X 194W. |

| Fruit Bellpull |
| Where the chart
shows "up arrow", it should be

| Harvest
Sampler |
Kit chart and S&AN:
The instructions refer to a diamond
eyelet stitch, but they don't mention
that there are 3 different sizes: over 12, over 8, and over 4.
There's only one detailed diagram, which is
for the over 8 diamond eyelet. The diamond
eyelets in the border should be worked over 12; the ones in
the centers of the medallions should be worked over 8. The
instructions do correctly say that the
ones above and below the second serpentine row
should be worked over 4.
There is no diagram for the
"anchored upright cross stitch" (called the "diamond
smyrna stitch" in TWSC).
TWSC:
The diagram for the "very small
diamond eyelet stitch" is wrong. It shows
(I believe) a diamond Algerian eye over 8 threads. It should be the
diamond eyelet over 4.
The diagram for the "diamond smyrna
stitch" (AKA the "anchored upright cross
stitch") shows it over 6 threads, but it should be worked
over 4 in the Harvest Sampler. (Maybe 6
threads is correct for one of the other charts
in the book.)
That's all so far -- these charts are not too
bad as far as errors go, but I could see an
inexperienced stitcher having a problem.
|
| Holly and Ivy Sampler |
| Over-one chart: The
bold dots (which are shown on the code as petite
royal plum beads) should be bold squares (DMC
3362) instead. This includes the dots in the
little holly leaf motifs as well. |
| The backstitch
lines in the over-one lettering should be
stitched using one strand 3362. |
| A backstitch line
is missing: On page 6 of the chart booklet, part
of the backstitch line between the gold border
and the whitework border is missing. |
|
| Lily Maiden |
| On
both the leaflet and the kit, there is some
backstitching missing from the bottom of the
skirt. It is possible to use the picture to
figure out where it should be stitched. Use the
same color as the rest of the area.
|
|
| Mademoiselle Mimi |
| Head's up: There
are two symbols for DMC 223, the open heart and
the double right-slanted lines. Both are correct
for this color. |
| There are some
symbols "=" (equal sign) which should
be "#" (number sign) |
| If you have any
other symbols on your chart that you find are
unclear, TW has offered to identify them for you
if you will send her a photocopy with the symbols
in question circled or highlighted. |
|
| Magical Night |
| There are some
charts that have an error in the backstitch
listing. This was later corrected in a reprint. |
| The backstiching
for the wings and body of far horse and for the
fur trim on woman's clothing and crown was
incorrectly listed as DMC 317 instead of DMC 414.
|
| The backstitching
for the wings and body of nearest horse was
incorrectly listed as DMC 414 but should have
been DMC 317. |
|
| Mermaid |
| The mermaid's nose
is backstitched using 3032. |
| 3041 is used to
straight stitch the spokes on the shells in the
border. |
| Use 930 to
backstitch the horizon line. |
|
| Merry Christmas Cat |
| On the Fiddler's
Cloth version, the backstitching is incorrectly
listed as 810 but should be 801. |
|
| Millennium |
| A "="
symbol is missing from the left middle bottom of
the arch. The over one chart shows the correct
placement. |
| Near planet J
(right bottom just outside the over one area) a
symbol has been rotated, the half black parts of
the circles should all be at the bottom. |
| On the Earth chart
(over-one chart A), there are some "C"
symbols that are shown as "U" symbols. |
|
| Night |
The symbol that looks like "3"
should be DMC 3045 |
| Noah's Ark Sampler |
| On the face of the
lion, the eyes of the Cat, the Bighorn Sheep,
& the Hedgehog, and the nose of the Rhino,
there is appears to be a 1/4 stitch on the
over-one chart. Actually, the black
"bullet" is a symbol for the french
knot. Just do a full cross stitches, then put in
the backstitch, and then place the french knots. |
| Stitchers have
noted that an extra skein of 792 is needed (or at
least a portion of a 2nd. one). |
| In the JCS magazine
version (only), the backstitch instructions for
the animal names was omitted and should be 611. |
| The french knots
for the minks is 3799 (missing in the JCS
magazine version only). |
| The backstitch for
the minks should be 839 (incorrect only in the
JCS mag. ver.). |

| The
symbol for the outer border, a triangle with a
dot, isn't listed on some of the charts. It
should be a blend of 422/3045.
|
| On
the two halves of the chart, there is a symbol
that is mirror imaged. It is < on the right
half (340/793) and > on the left half (3032).
It is suposed to be < (340/793).

|
| Peacock Majesty |
(For kit only)
| In
the peacock tail, the blue eye of the feathers
have 3 filled in circles with a slash through
them (blend of 501/792) in a triangle formation
(one in center, then down a line and
one, another symbol and then one) The symbol
in the center is a filled in circle which doesn't
appear in the floss key but should be DMC823.
|
| In
the rocks in the wall, there is a bold U which
should not be bold (451/3787)
|
|
| Peacock Tapestry |
| Where the
backstitch is too light on the charts for the
leaflets or kits, If you would like
clarification on backstitching, see this topic on the Teresa
Wentzler Bulletin Board. |
| Some of the charts
had an incorrect stitch count (which was
corrected in a later release). |
| Also some charts
have no overlap lines printed on pages 3, 4, 6, 7
and 8. The charts have the correct amount spaces,
they are just not shadowed to show the overlap. |
| Tien is stitching
the peacock in silks and has developed a
conversion list which is now archived at Peacock Tapestry Silk
Conversion List. More information on Silk Conversion can be
found on the TWBB |
|
| Rapunzel |
| Count 60 squares
down from top and 46 stitches left from right
edge, in between the curtain and its gold border
there is a quarter stitch with no symbol. The
picture suggests this should be "Z" or
"W", take your pick. |
| In some versions,
the window scene has a "circle" symbol
that should be a "2" symbol. |
| Between the gold
tassel at the left of the pillow and the bench
cushion, there is a square containing two quarter
stitches. The top right is a "Z" while
the bottom left is shown as a "S". I
think this should be a "3". Putting an
S here makes a 1/4 stitch of that color in the
middle of nowhere (& I hate to stitch those).
|
| Where the hair
meets the ground, by the little curl, count 31
stitches from left and 6 from bottom. There is a
square with two quarter stitches. The top right
symbol is a "circle with a horizontal line
through the center" and the lower left is an
"open circle". This should be a solid
circle (890/500). |
| In the middle of
the castle, a little below the line of backward L
's, there is an arrow pointing to the bottom
right hand corner. This should have been another
backward L. |
| Just to the left of
the poof sleeve on the gown, there is a stray X
(perhaps a small cursive "u" here?) |
| In the bottom left
1/4 of the pattern on the gown, I found 2 symbols
that don't seem to go. Located just left and
below the gold sash ring, they are filled in
lower left-hand triangles with an upper
right-hand dot (perhaps the O with the right
hemisphere filled here?). |
| Also near this area
and slightly to the right of the sash (below the
gold sash ring and just after it angles to the
right) there is a stray = symbol outside of the
backstitching of the sash on the blue area of the
dress. This makes a purple stitch in the middle
of all blues. I think I used the O with the right
hemisphere filled here. |
| Some of the
backstitching in the bottom section of the window
frame isn't marked on the pattern. The lower
"loops" have two lines of bs - inner
and outer - while the upper "loops"
only have outer bs. Backstitch in the same color
as the inside of the upper loops. |
| The blue
backstitching on the gown and pillow should be
930 and the floorboard backstitching should be
3021. Both were left out of instructions by the
printer. |
| I also added a
diagonal backstitch line on the lower hand (on
sill) to make four fingers (showing) instead of a
fatter middle one. |
| Helpful hint: The
half cross stitches for the clouds should be in
the same direction as the top leg of your
crosses. |
| Helpful hint: Where
the castle meets the top line of the trees, there
are two symbols that are very similar "<
with a line through it" and "> with
a line through it". Take care not to get
them confused. |

Be careful on the number of spaces between
sections in the chart. It has been reported that in the

| Summer Faerie |
This correction does not apply to the book
of the four faeries, but it does apply to both the single

| In the top left
hand corner of the border there is an extra
"e" symbol. Compare this corner with
the other corners, and you will see the
difference. |

|
|
In the bottom left of the triangle part of the
Dragon's tail there is a symbol that is not found in the color
key. The symbol is a solid arrow pointing to the lower right.
According to TW, the color for this symbol should be DMC 3362
|
|
In the triangle portion of the Dragon's tail there
are some half stitches that were omitted. According to TW, they
should be > with the line under it (DMC blend 793/931)
|
|
The symbol that is a square with a vertical line
through the center lists a blend of DMC 930/3766 (antique blue dk/gray
green dk). 3766 is a very light blue and is not used anywhere else
in the pattern. The color should be DMC 3768 (a dark gray green)
|
|
Some charts are missing the symbol for ecru. The
symbol is ~ and can be found in the Prince's sleeve
|
|
It was mentioned previously that the white
highlight in the Dragon's eye isn't in the instructions. According
to my chart, it is found in the backstitch instructions, and is
just a white backstitch
|
|
The SS symbol doesn't actually appear in the
chart. It is the symbol for that Vatican Gold cord that is used to
work the straight stitches in the border
Note: Complete the border backstitching before working the
straight stitches
|
|
There is a symbol in the background 1/2 stitches
to the left of the Dragon, where the background reduces from 3 to
2 stitches. There are two stitches with the symbol - with a dot
under it (DMC 524) and then a backstitch line. There appears to be
a symbol under the backstitch line. There is some question as to
what this symbol is. Sherry S has answered that it is (DMC
794/932), making it part of the Dragon. On my chart it looks like
it is (DMC 3033/3782), making it part of the background

| Stroke of Midnight |
| In the over one
section/Part B of the dress, the design may be
larger than the space allotted for it on the over
two section and may need to be adjusted. A
correction was made in later releases of the
pattern, so you will need to count and see if you
need to make the correction. Remember to account
for the difference between sizes! The over-one
needs to be twice the size of the over-two space.
On my corrected pattern, the over-one is 116W x
92H fitting into a 58Wx46H over-two space. |
| Suggested
correction: Making sure that the over-one pattern
is turned with the top rightside up, count to the
15th line from bottom left side. Starting at 5th
square, omit the first 10 squares. You can adjust
this various ways but this is the suggested
method. |
| Helpful hint: It
was suggested to me to make sure that you have 2
skeins of the greys as there is alot of grey in
the design and you want to make sure you have the
same dye lot. |

Leaflet only
| To
make the border symetrical, some stitchers have
added a berry to the top of left side.
|
| On
the chickadee, the french knot for the eye should
be one row lower than shown on the chart.

| Watch for gridding
errors on the over-one charts. Column 5 has 11
rows and column 6 has 9 rows. |

Ombre number should be 3200 (pearl) instead of 032 (which is the
number for the other pearl threads of various weights).

| concerning the freebie design Tropical Daydream.
There was a missing symbol in the color code. If you downloaded
your pattern before 9/7/05 at about 2:00 PM (EST), the "black
diamond" symbol is missing from the code. It should be DMC
161/3041 |

Wedding Sampler
(Leisure Arts version) |
| The symbol
"X" should be "X with the dot in
the center" DMC 520 |
| The stitch diagram
of the eight-sided eyelet in the heart motif area
is drawn in the wrong scale (too
small). Stitch over eight threads,
with five stitches per side. |
| The fractional
stitches in the leaf border should be stitched as
1/4 stitches, not 3/4 stitches, because the
backstitching completes the cross and makes it
less "bulky". |

Wedding Sampler
(JCS version) |
| The symbol "X" should be
"X with the dot in the center" DMC 520 |
| The stitch diagram of the eight-sided
eyelet in the heart motif area is drawn in the wrong
scale (too small). Stitch over eight
threads, with five stitches per side. |
| The fractional stitches in the leaf
border should be stitched as 1/4 stitches, not 3/4
stitches, because the backstitching completes the
cross and makes it less "bulky". |
There are evidently many errors and
differences in the version released by Just CrossStitch of
the kit and chart that are not present in the Leisure Arts
release (perhaps corrected in the later release).
| JCS chart does not use DMC 611 (see
below though), 3727 and 3790 |
| For the beads, JCS uses 03005 and
03021 BUT LA uses 03005 and 00123 |
| The chart does not list the diagram or
name for the stitch that goes in the corners of the
plaited stitch border of the heart motif block.
LA kit shows the corners are plaited cross stitch in
colors 422 and 3033 (DMC) and it is backstitched in
611. |
| The backstitching color for the arch
is listed as DMC 640 instead of the DMC 611 in the LA
version. |
| The heart motif border is missing the
backstitch instructions even though it looks
backstitched in the photo. (LA leaflet lists 611 for
the backstitch color) |
| Instructions for the diamond pattern
in the arch are to stitch with two strands of 3032
and then wrap with the 872 marlitt. The LA version
says to stitch with one strand of 611 and then
wrapped with 1034 marlitt. |
| Instructions for the diamond pattern
in the heart motif block are to stitch with one
strand of 3032, then wrap with 1034 marlitt. The LA
version says to stitch with one strand of 611 and
then wrapped with 1034 marlitt. |
| Someone on the TW BB stated that her
kit didn't even mention the marlitt and none was
included in the package, so this may be yet another
variation. |
Apparently the BOB has changed the instructions for the
heart motif border from the original. For your convenience here are the
original instructions.
Heart Motif Area
- Border: Arrows on the chart indicate the direction in
which the plait stitch should be worked. Do this portion of the border
using one strand each of 422&3045. (the dotted lines in the border are
to show placement only.) In each corner of the border, work one plaited
cross stitch using one strand each of 422 & 3033. Backstitch around
the outside of the border only using one strand of 611. (Note: I
have contacted Teresa and she confirms that this is the correct one.)
- Backstitch diamond pattern using one strand of 3032. Then
wrap the backstitching using one strand of marlitt# 1034.
- Complete right-sided eyelets using one strand of 3032.
- Make algerian eyelets (located between the eight-sided
eyelets) using 2 strands of 3042.
- Complete satin stitch hearts as follows: for thick lines,
use one strand ea of 778 & 3727&3743. For thin lines use 3 strands
of ecru.
- Complete half diamond eyelets using one strand ea of 422
& 3033.
- Make lazy daisy leaf clusters using one strand ea of 501
& 3363.
- Attach beads last where indicated, using one strand of
ecru to attach both colors.
The plaited stitch diagram for the Heart border is
missing from the BOB here it is

| Be careful on the
number of spaces between sections in the chart.
It has been reported that in the book of all 4
horses, vertical overlaps have 11 spaces instead
of 10! |

| Winter Faerie |
This correction applies to the book of
four faeries, and possibly to the kit. There has been to
date no single leaflet of this faerie released.
| The "k"
symbol (DMC blend 318/414) is missing from the
symbol key. |
