Corrections and Substitutions in Designs
While every effort is made to ensure instructions are accurate, occasionally I miss something. Also, sometimes thread companies discontinue threads or colors so substitutions are necessary. Please find information below on possible substitutions or corrections to charts where necessary.
These corrections only apply to older or original versions of these patterns. All current charts for sale, contain the corrections already.
Latest News!
Due to the recent closing of Needle Necessities, their threads are now unavailable. As they are used in many of my patterns, I have put together a Thread Substitution Chart, to give replacement choices for these threads. The
chart is in PDF 
format and can be read with Adobe Acrobat Reader 3 or higher.
Abalone 
- Earlier versions of the chart called for DMC Pearl Cotton Size 5 #518 - this is NOT required.
- Also, use Goldrush 286C instead of what is listed.
- Check Thread Substitutions Chart (above) for Needle Necessities floss and metallic braid alternatives.
- DMC Pearl Cotton #5 - 333 was inadvertently left off the earlier supply lists. It is required.
Ebb Tide
- Canvas color is Leventeen Blue, not Leviathan Blue, as listed. This is a "royal" blue.
- Rachel B34 may be substituted with Flair F562.
- Leah's Overdyed Floss may be replaced with Weeks Dye Works #2337 (3 skeins required) or Dinky Dyes Floss or Silk #39 (2 skeins).
- In Step 7, use 085 - Peacock Braid.
- In Step 10, use 085 - Peacock Braid, not 329.
- If you have one of the original Ebb Tide charts, published as a chartpack, not a leaflet, there was an error in the diagram for the first two stitches. Each stitch is one thread longer than shown on the stitch diagram. If you count from the master graph, you will have the correct count.
Surf & Sand
- Supply List - Needle Necessities Spring II - Use 364 Turquoise instead of 360
- Delete Needle Necessities Overdyed Pearl Cotton #5106 (not needed).
- Step 8 - Ignore reference to Spring II.
- Step 11 - Change colour of Spring II to 364.
- Step 13 - Change colour of Spring II to 364.
- Step 14 - Should read use 739 pearl cotton, not 735
Gothic Stained Glass Window
- Step 3 - Arch Section Floss Color 963 should be 943 and 519 should be 518.
- Step 6 - Color 794 should be 792.
