  • Cross stitch tips in English & Dutch

A few remarks:
We’ve done our best to represent all the country outlines correctly. We realize that some borders are disputed between different states. Of course we don’t mean to offend anyone. We used google maps as our reference. As you might imagine this map is not detailed enough to show you the road while traveling 😉 and the smallest countries of the world are also harder to find e.g. the Vatican, San Marino and Andorra are not included
The pattern includes light blue stitches for the main seas, oceans and lakes. We’ve added those to help you distinguish the country map outlines. You don’t have to stitch them to get a beautiful result. But of course you can always choose to stitch them anyway. (it’s a lot of stitches).
