Hello,
We are not the manufacturers of the product. We are an online retailer that sells the kits and our description doesn't state that the patterns are printed on the canvas. The manufacturers of these kits, such as Caron, Wonder Art, MCG Textiles, ect....stopped making them with the pattern printed on the canvas about 2 years ago. We can no longer purchase kits that have patterns printed on them because they aren't made that way any longer. You are more than welcome to contact our Customer Service department via email or phone if you would like to talk to someone about your actual order. Thank you.
