It says “Get the Mario ABC Sampler Cross-Stitch Pattern,” but when I click it the link doesn’t work. When will these be available? This is frustrating. I am aware of how to navigate the site. Something is wrong with the links to the patterns.
I’m new to Craftsy, so maybe I just don’t know how to navigate the site, but when I clicked on the Arcade Cross-Stitch Sampler link it just took me to a landing page. Searching for it did not bring it up either. Can someone help me?
Hello Linda,
The patterns are still getting added to the website. I apologize for the wait. I have attached a link you will find helpful on how to navigate the Craftsy site. https://www.craftsy.com/faq/ .
Thank you,
