Many people tell us, “I like your patterns so much — now if they just didn’t use blended colors!” or “There are 450 DMC colors — why isn’t that enough for you?”
Here’s what happens if you replace the blends in a couple of our patterns with the closest solid colors. The pictures on the left are the actual patterns, with blended colors — the ones on the right are using solid colors only.

I have been doing cross stitch for more than 20 years. Your chart, which I received just 3 days after I ordered it, is the most well-organized, thought out, and easy to read pattern that I have ever seen. You sort the threads several different ways: by symbol and by DMC number. How clever! Thank you for an outstanding product and extraordinary service.
