Hi Luzine,
Does the designs come with instructions on how to embroider them or only the pictures and the kind of linen and thread recommended?

The Advent Calendar 2017 includes line drawings in different sizes only. Ideas for embroidering you can find on the different days in December 2017 on my blog.
Hi again,
Is the price different for the emai publishing for customers outside of Europe?

Hi Louise,
customers outside the EU do not have to pay the German sales tax. So there is a difference in the price.
