"And They Sinned" Chart
I have just started working on "And They Sinned". I absolutely love the
design....but the chart is terrible. The symbols are barely recognizable and if I did not have a color photograph of the finished project, I would not be able to select the correct color. The chart was fairly expensive ($39.00) and I don't think that it is unreasonable to expect a chart that is easy to use. Is anyone else encountering this problem? If so, how do you deal with it? Also, I would like to write the designer, Examplar Dames Design Company to express my admiration....as well as frustration....with the chart. Does anyone have the address? Thank you, in advance, for your help. Robin Lund |

There is a group for ATS on the Legacy Embroiderers board (e-zboard) and the suggestion was to blow up the charts really big to decipher the symbols. However, I didn't see this til _after_ I had used the wrong color for the star bursts above the swords. Fortunately I liked the look of the brighter color, as it looked like the swords were glowing. But the symbolism was for the orange to be used only on the fruit on the tree. Vilma does post to the group and I'm sure she's seen the 'feedback' about the difficulty in reading her chart. Hopefully the companion piece will not be such a bugger to read. Kathleen |

and if I did not have a color photograph of the finished project, I would not be able to select the correct color. was fairly Is anyone else encountering this problem? Robin Lund Hi Robin. Aren't awful charts a pain in the neck? I work repro samplers and it seems that I spend more time looking at the picture than the chart at times. I have a couple of suggestions, first make enlarged copies. I usually make several of each area incase a design area goes over two sheets. I'll have the extras to cup up and tape together. I have found a convenience store that doesn't question my making copies. I also mark the main color in an area...the color I would work first...and work that color. This seems to get an area started correctly for me. I use a water erasable marking pen (gotten at a quilting store) to mark the chart. I use a damp tiny artist paint brush to get rid of the mark after I have stitched that color. If you can't find a pen like this, use a pencil with a good eraser. Good luck, hang in there, it is a beautiful sampler. Boo BRBR |

I just wanted to thank everyone for your wonderful suggestions on dealing
with a "less than perfect" chart. "And They Sinned" is such a beautiful project. It will be worth the frustration, I'm sure. Thanks again for all of your help.
