    I am enjoying stitching on this lovely piece. Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I especially appreciate all of the diagrams – they are very helpful! Thanks, Merrilyn, for a wonderful class!

      I figured out what I believe Merrilyn meant. The stitch full diagram under step 4 for window A (reverse scotch stitch) has the bottom and top scotch stitch over 1 canvas thread left off. The stitch goes over 2 threads, 4 threads, and 2 threads and then repeats.
