If it does' t have the color that means it is white.

No, it doesn't mean it's white. Look for fine print instructions on backstitching colors. If not, try to contact the designer.

My instruction sheet doesn't have any back stitch colors listed. How do I find the information for the designer?

Thank you,

Hi bratbear-

The designer is listed here at Everything as Lori Greff. Since this is a Dimensions kit, I would contact Dimensions and their contact info should be printed somewhere on your instruction page that was included with your kit. Hopefully they can help you.

I would definitely contact Dimensions Inc. since this is one of their kits. They should be able to help you out with the symbol you need.

I have this chart as part of a Sunset (from Dimensions) Kit #13725 (dated 2005). The letter "a" colored Red is for Half Cross-stitch with one strand of Pink (6963) and one strand Lt. turquoise (17053).

Dimensions 6963 is DMC 963 or Anchor 73
Dimensions 17053 is DMC 3761 or Anchor 9159

Good luck!

Thank you very much!
