Guides for Fire and Iris Canvases
The new designer Fire and Iris has a nice stitch guide section on their website. Some of their guides are free; some come with the purchase of the design. You'll get a password so you can access the free guide once you buy the canvas for the latter selection.
Note that the guides available without purchase are very basic. They tell you which stitch and thread to use where, but there are no stitch diagrams provided.
