*Also, on the top rows--just under the letters N, O, P--the Smyrna Cross stitches---there should be 3 stitches of each of the following colors DMC 924, 3768, 926, 927 & 928.
*Heart details The Butterfly----on page 19---on the bookmark that is extra and on page 20 that is in the design piece--there is a symbol that is a black dot with a slash going through it---the color of floss to be used it #145 Dinky Dyes Silk Floss.
*On page 9 & 10 the instructions say to stitch the 4-sided stitches in groups of three for each color floss---there are only 8 sets--so the last set will only have two sets of 4-sided stitches. Sorry for the confusion.
