Back-Stitch Errors:
WARNING: When Leisure Arts re-created this chart they superimposed the over-two sections with the generalized placement lines over the over-one sections. Because of this back-stitch lines now appear on this chart that were not on the original over-one sections. Please be extra careful when reading the back-stitch instructions and always double check it against the model picture in the book. The ones I've found so far are listed below.

There are no back-stitch lines around the eye brows of Arthur or Guinevere.
