Fixed it! Thank you!
There seems to be an “overlapping” problem with the text. There isn’t enough leading (space)) between the lines of text, in the Finished size, Materials Pattern notes, and Special stitches ections
Thank you, I have fixed the issue!
I have tried to read the pattern and the finished sizes, materials, and pattern notes are all showing up typed over each other and I can’t read them please help Vicki raggit59@gmail.com
Thank you, problem resolved.
Hi! There’s a missing picture right under “Instructions”. Is it something important? Thanks!
Still happening!
Thank you, it is fixed now!
On my iPad the text was fine. On my iPhone there is still some overlap. I’m also wondering if r3 should be written differently from r1, since the stitching is not into chains and skipping chains? I just copied the photograph! 🤔
Thank you for letting me know, I made the changes!
