Frequently Asked Questions
Does the order matter?
Yes. Use the same left-to-right order as the three tomato pincushions in the puzzle.
What counts as a 'connected' thread?
Only threads that are directly attached to a red pin count. Threads that pass near a pin but don't connect to it should not be counted.
What happens after entering 4-7-8?
