Model on 32 ct. platinum Belfast linen from Zweigart -- 140 H x 168 W

Errata:

• The symbol "X" should be "X with the dot in the center" DMC 520
• The stitch diagram of the eight-sided eyelet in the heart motif area is drawn in the wrong scale (too small).   Stitch over eight threads, with five stitches per side.
• The fractional stitches in the leaf border should be stitched as 1/4 stitches, not 3/4 stitches, because the backstitching completes the cross and makes it less "bulky".

There are evidently many errors and differences in the version released by Just CrossStitch of the kit and chart that are not present in the Leisure Arts release (perhaps corrected in the later release).

• JCS chart does not use DMC 611 (see below though), 3727 and 3790
• For the beads, JCS uses 03005 and 03021 BUT LA uses 03005 and 00123
• The chart does not list the diagram or name for the stitch that goes in the corners of the plaited stitch border of the heart motif block.  LA kit shows the corners are plaited cross stitch in colors 422 and 3033 (DMC) and it is backstitched in 611.
• The backstitching color for the arch is listed as DMC 640 instead of the DMC 611 in the LA version.
• The heart motif border is missing the backstitch instructions even though it looks backstitched in the photo. (LA leaflet lists 611 for the backstitch color)
• Instructions for the diamond pattern in the arch are to stitch with two strands of 3032 and then wrap with the 872 marlitt. The LA version says to stitch with one strand of 611 and then wrapped with 1034 marlitt.
• Instructions for the diamond pattern in the heart motif block are to stitch with one strand of 3032, then wrap with 1034 marlitt. The LA version says to stitch with one strand of 611 and then wrapped with 1034 marlitt.
• Someone on the TW BB stated that her kit didn't even mention the marlitt and none was included in the package, so this may be yet another variation.
