Where can I find a DMC conversion chart for my Bucilla stitchery kit?

You can download our Bucilla to DMC conversion chart as a PDF to make sure you're using the appropriate floss for your kit.

What is the difference between the solid blue patterns and the multicolor patterns in your Bucilla stamped goods program?

What is the difference between a whipstitch and a slipstitch?

What, if any, additional supplies are needed to complete a Modern Paint-by-Number kit?
