Hello Suzy,

Here is a link for the information regarding the 284Z: http://www.tiag.com/otherproducts/dmc284z.html

As far as getting a copy of the directions, you will probably have to get in touch with the place you purchased it from or the designer (http://www.tiag.com/) and see if they can send you a replacement? That's where I would start. Or perhaps someone on the chit chat board has a copy of the directions that they can send you?! That's always an option too :)

This is a Lavendar & Lace design and there are really not any directions per se. L & L is for intermediate stitchers and they expect you to know the basics already. I have done several of their designs and am in the process of finishing this one. You receive the chart with the list of floss colors, metallics and beads needed and a recommendation for the fabric and you would just start wherever you usually start. (I start in the middle.)

There are probably several tutorials on U-tube that can guide you thru the basics if you're a beginner.
