I like charts that are easy to read. Does not matter if color or black and white - just big enough to see symbols and distinction. Thank you for asking! Love all you do! I have followed you for years with punch needle and cross stitch Love it all!
If I had a choice if my favorite chart I would choose color, but I have been stitching for over 40 years and color charts is a new thing. I want to say that God blessed you with a phenomenal talent and we are just in awe each time you release new designs for use to stitch. Thank you.
Originally, I didn't like the color graphs. Then when I started Hometown, I discovered that color graphs are awesome! I prefer color, but either works for me. Love your new releases. Thanks for sharing!
Love your new releases. My favorite is the drum. I like charts that are a little bit bigger so it's easier to read the symbols. I don't care if their black and white or color.
I have prefer black & white charts and that the printing is large enough to easily read the symbols. All of your new releases are wonderful but I especially like the pin drum. Beautiful finishes on each and every one!
Hi Teresa - can I ask how you mounted the Bittersweet bird cross stitch on the box? Did you put iron on interfacing on the piece then some sort of cotton batting? I would appreciate any type of brief explanation. Thanks so much!
Love the new designs and the way the new cross stitch charts will come. Bittersweet bird is so sweet on the paper mache box. The pin drum is amazing!! Susan’s finishing is perfection!! I prefer black and white charts because when I stitch from a paper chart I make a working copy to highlight and mark my progress. It’s very hard to make a working copy to highlight when they are in color. Happy stitching! Laura
Your new releases are lovely. And I can see why that pinkeep drum in your fav. As to color or b&w charts my personal favorite is color so at a glance I can see where I am. It allows for quicker stitching and fewer mistakes. It was nice seeing you again at the Craft Gallery retreat. Thank you for the hope design w/the willow tree. 💝💖💗💓🧵🪡🕊
OMG I love the Octobers chart so much! I cannot wait to get it. I like large charts that are easy to see. My preference is color charts. It just adds to the ease of reading and stitching for me. The colors help me see where I need to switch colors and just makes counting easier for me as well.
I like the black and white prints as I always make a working copy and like to use a highlighter to mark what I’ve already stitched. I have continued doing this over the years as I have a neck fused by arthritic growths. Love your designs. Really loved the oval drum finish ❤
Great new designs! I personally like black and white charts when I have a paper chart. I make a working copy and use a highlighter to mark off what I’ve stitched.
I really appreciate when designs are in color. It is very hard to look at large patterns with thousands of symbols. I love your books. I have several that are very easy to follow your color patterns.
OMG!! You just keep out doing yourself!! I will admit I was admiring your stitching of bittersweet bird at the Craft Gallery Retreat and wondering how you were going to finish it!! ♥️it and that drum!! They are ALL Beautiful! Love the card stock patterns, either way is fine, but my aging eyes prefer the color. Thank You for sharing your Art! ♥️🪡🧵🤗
Beautiful releases! Such creative finishing. I didn’t use to care if color or B&W patterns. However, I now use Markup RX for stitching and it is so much easier to mark off B&W charts.
Beautiful new releases, i love black and white charts as you can use a highlighter , however, if i love the piece I'm going to stitch it no matter how it is charted 😁
The patterns are outstanding! I prefer black & white because I make working copies and my copier/printer only does black & white. I make working copies to record color changes and counting mistakes and also to reduce wear and tear on the originals.
I love both color and black and white charts (especially if they have simple streamlined symbols- think Prairie Schooler! So lovely to stitch from). Love love love your new pattern pamphlets! They are perfect! And love these beautiful designs! You never disappoint! ❤
Wow, such amazing designs. I love them all, but I Octobers is my favorite. I love the fall season and it’s absolutely beautiful. I don’t have a preference for color or black and white charts as long as I can easily identify the symbol. Lately, I prefer a PDF pattern. I view them on my iPad and it’s super easy to see.
I just love your new designs and the finishing. You do such a lovely job in designing! Personally I just like a chart that’s clear and easy to read, doesn’t matter if it’s colored or black and white.
What an incredible designer you really are Teresa! I've followed you for years and love love love your designs. I just love those birds! The drum is the one I'd love to make. It's BEAUTIFUL! I love the color. Your patterns are truly one of a kind. 🥰 Thank you for all you do Teresa.
Fabulous new releases! I prefer a black and white chart because I mark the chart as I stitch and it's hard to distinguish my markings on a color chart. 😊
It doesn’t matter if it’s color or black and white as long as the symbols are clear … love your two bird patterns in cross stitch … I will definitely be ordering them … thanks for sharing your work and until next time Happy Stitching 🧵 … 😊❤ Dena
I can stitch from color and black/white charts, and truly have no preference. The color of the printing would never interfere with my enjoyment of the project. I’m definitely going to attempt punch needle; they are so adorable, Teresa. Love all your new releases but the drum is stunning.
The Harvest PN was my very first pattern I ever punched. I haven’t fully finished it yet… love your idea.. will have to find me a piece like that to use. I love B and W charts if the symbols are clear and large enough to see. Otherwise I like color to help me distinguish the symbols. Love the new charts.
I like colored patterns, but that's my personal preference. When I create cross stitch patterns for my shop, I design in color. For me, the black and white shapes blend together after a while. 😂
Color for me is easier to read, but a big part is having them be big enough to discriminate between symbols. Love your new releases. I might have to break out my punch needle!
Teresa, I’m back to stitching after a 20 or so year break. I went to Shepherds Needle Saturday for the first time and was blown away at the quality of your printed charts…I kept saying it over and over ‘look how NICE these are!’ Anyway, I have horrible vision and I appreciate a very clear chart with lots of contrast. B&W or color doesn’t matter much, it’s the contrast for me. That being said, your charts are on such nice heavy paper, and the colors are vivid - they totally stand out. ❤️ There are a few designers I’ve purchased from that have thin, cheap copy paper and TINY charts with terrible symbols. No matter how much I love the chart, I will not be a repeat buyer of a designer who forces me to blow things up just to make it useable. Keep up the great work, you’re much appreciated! ❤️❤️❤️
Color charts are easer to read but black and white are nice if you want to use your own colors. Some creators offer both. Thank you really like your new charts
I prefer black and white charts, as it much easier to mark my stitches with my colored pencils. Great new pattern format…..front cover more true to color and one doesn’t have to mess with the new “cheaper” flimsy plastic bags. Wonderful new patterns!
Thank you for sharing your creative talents with the stitching community. Everything you design is beautiful. Black and white is my preferred pattern choice.
I love your new designs! I really am going to have to put some time in to learning punch needle! I prefer a color chart. As I've gotten older the eyes decline and a black and white chart just blurs...it's hard to keep track of my place, etc. With a color chart I can instantly see that "mine does not look like the pattern" or I can instantly see that I made a mistak if I start stitching with the wrong floss because I misread the floss number. That oval drum finish is gorgeous!
Thank you Teresa for all you beautiful designs, the drum is my favorite.

I can read the charts better in color. Thanks for all your wonderful cross stitch patterns. You are amazing!
Love your new releases. My favorite is the drum. I like charts that are a little bit bigger so it's easier to read the symbols. I don't care if their black and white or color.
Color charts are my preference. Love your birds and the finish with the velveteen is lovely!
I have prefer black & white charts and that the printing is large enough to easily read the symbols. All of your new releases are wonderful but I especially like the pin drum. Beautiful finishes on each and every one!
Amazing new releases! I was so excited to see your new designs. I prefer color charts because on some designs it really does make it easier to read.
Hi Teresa - can I ask how you mounted the Bittersweet bird cross stitch on the box? Did you put iron on interfacing on the piece then some sort of cotton batting? I would appreciate any type of brief explanation. Thanks so much!
I appreciate the charts with color. Thank you for asking our opinion. Your new patterns rock!
Hello! Love the birds made into that oval drum. So different and beautiful! I like my charts in black and white.
I love colored charts so many designers use similar symbols that are very hard to tell apart. Your new designs are beautiful
I like patterns in color, it helps with seeing the color changes. thanks, I love your work!
Absolutely beautiful, all the pieces! Now I really need to work a punch needle and a wool felted piece ❤
I ordered the October stitch the second I saw it! I love all of your designs - they are just beautiful.
Black and white is my preferred instruction color. Love all of your patterns.
Black and white is my preference. I usually mark off my stitches and it’s harder to do with a color chart. Thank you for your beautiful charts!
I LOVE!!!!!!! color, easier to read.
I prefer the black and white charts. Thanks for all the work you do in your designs.
Love the new designs! I do appreciate the black and white charts on cardstock. They are easier to read and handle. Thank you for asking.
I am so thankful I took your class at Sauder Village. I finally feel confident enough to do Punch needle. You are an excellent teacher! 😊
Thank you. Teaching doesn’t come naturally to me. I’m glad to know I was helpful.
I love all of your new designs. I personally prefer black and white charts. Thank you for taking the time to share your new releases. ❤
I love your color charts! These new charts are beautiful

Hi! I love your designs -
And I did see you stitching the beautiful bird. I like color charts but either way I will buy your designs!!
Great new designs! I personally like black and white charts when I have a paper chart. I make a working copy and use a highlighter to mark off what I’ve stitched.
I like colored or black and white as long as they're not printed on glossy or shiny paper. I'm stitching Sacred and the chart is great. Thank you.
I really appreciate when designs are in color. It is very hard to look at large patterns with thousands of symbols. I love your books. I have several that are very easy to follow your color patterns.
Wow! You just keep churning out the beautiful things ❤ thanks for sharing! I personally love colored charts, makes stitching quicker for me 😎
Love your new releases. I love your colour charts, and don’t feel the need to mark off as I go because of the colour 👋🇳🇿❤️🪡
Love all the new beautiful patterns you showed Teresa. You are a fantastic designer with such great talents. 😊 I prefer black and white charts.
Love your new releases! I prefer color as long as the symbols are also colored on key and pattern is easy to read.

I prefer color charts, but I love what you designs so I would probably stitch it if it was black and white.
I prefer black and white so I like to make a working chart in order to mark it. Thank you for all your beautiful patterns.

The patterns are outstanding! I prefer black & white because I make working copies and my copier/printer only does black & white. I make working copies to record color changes and counting mistakes and also to reduce wear and tear on the originals.
Love your new releases. My main thing for charts is to be big enough to see and symbols that aren’t similar to others. Usually prefer black and white.
Really appreciate color charts ~ so much easier for me to follow ~ thanks for asking! October is my favorite month as well! 🎃
I love both color and black and white charts (especially if they have simple streamlined symbols- think Prairie Schooler! So lovely to stitch from). Love love love your new pattern pamphlets! They are perfect! And love these beautiful designs! You never disappoint! ❤

Love your new designs! The charts look incredible! I prefer black and white charts for a working copy. ❤❤❤
The new designs are so pretty! I prefer the color design but am not opposed to the black and white.
I like b&w charts because I make a working copy that I mark off as I go. More importantly is the clarity of the symbols.

Black & White charts, if I feel like I need to double check my floss color I look at the cover photo. :) Awesome Pin Drum, it's perfect.
