    I’m finding it difficult to follow the backstitch in the red circle due to the graph lines is it possible to darken or make the stitch lines wider. Also in the blue circle from my experience you need to state if these stitches should be 1 over 2 or 2 over 4.

    the graph on page one when enlarged is easier to read as the graph is in a different position. does it match the stitching diagram?  I use my iPad for diagrams so it is easy to enlarge.

      Hi Julia,
      All the diagonals in the red circle are over 1 down 2. Each intersection of the graph represents a hole in the linen. Same for in the blue circle. On the true diagonal, work down 2 over 2, if possible, rather than 1 over 1 or 4 over 4. The enlargements (details) are taken from the original graph, so all match to the original graph.

      I will see if I can widen the diagonal lines, so they enlarge more clearly. Thanks Julia
