I have made a few of these projects, and have no trouble reading most of the patterns - my main beef is with the (otherwise excellent) Bald Eagle pattern: some of the browns are indistinguishable from one another, and I was forced to manually redraw the pattern in Bead Wizard and print that out in order to have something readable.
