    Hi
    This is the 5th e mail I have sent regarding the purchases I have bought from you. I am still awaiting reply from you, I did not realize that I had to download the patterns from you and they would only be there for 2 days. I was expecting them in the post. Can you please resent them so I can download them.
    thanks

      Dear Katherine,
      thank you for writing us here… We sent you several emails with the PDF files attached, yesterday and today, but it seems that you didn’t receive none of them. Could you please check your spam folder? Unfortunately there is no way to reactivate expired downloads. Have you another email address? Or if you prefer we can cancel and refund your order, so you can place another one. Please let us know what you prefer. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

    HI, I have two patterns in my shopping cart, how can i change the currency amount to US dollars? See if I can afford to purchase these this month.
    Thanks ahead of time for answering my questions. I see your on top of things. :)

  6. Shana Painting

    Okay, had to make another comment. I just purchased 5 patterns, euro’s was 32,95 and US dollars came to be $37.17 …. I am putting this out there so any other customer from the States can see that it was that much more expensive.

      Hi Carolyn :-)
      For our models we usually use DMC threads. In some cases, we used black sewing thread no.50 and Aurifil wool threads, too, but almost all of our charts include both DMC and Anchor colour numbers.

    I purchased Helleborne and Snowberry pattern. My question is Which I should do first the Cross Stitch part or the Blackwork? This is my first Blackwork that includes cross stitch? Thank you for your thoughts. jb

    1. Ajisai Press

      There is no precise rule, but generally we suggest to work the cross stitch areas first, then the outlines in Holbein stitch, and finally all the blackwork fill-in patterns.
      We hope this helps. Happy stitching! :-)

    1. Ajisai Press

      The patterns should be downloaded from our website within two days from the date of purchase, and then expire. If there are no items in the download area during those two days, it could be a display issue, so thank you for writing us. As requested, we have sent the files by email. Please, let us know if you don’t receive them. Thank you and best wishes! :-)

    I have a question but first I just wanted to say that you have the most amazing patterns. I have completed some of them and the one with the ladybug on the flower turned out amazing. I have just finished Hellebore and snowberry and can’t wait to get it frameed . My next project is the Long-tailed rosefinch. Looking at your website I would love to buy the dog and butterfly but you do not have for download. Is there anywhere I can get it. I llve in Ireland and do not have access to the magazine that it was published in.
    Kind regards and keep the patterns coming

    Am currently doing your hummingbird pattern. Having difficulty. Not sure how to explain it. Am doing an angled backstitch from square one to square 6- starting in lower left hole of square one and ending up in upper left hole of square 6. Am to remain on same horizontal row . Going over 2 threads so not sure how to do an angled line with so few places to end a stitch without the angled line becoming straight. Gosh! I’m not sure that even makes sense to me.

    1. Ajisai Press

      Not sure if we have understood the question correctly, but have you tried to make two stitches (each one over 6×1 threads of linen) instead of a single long stitch (worked over 12×2 threads)? You may also try to use the double running stitch instead of the backstitch. We hope this helps…
