New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Hi All - I'm hoping someone can help!
I've bought a pattern to do a cross stitch but it is massive! I thought I could take a picture and run it through the wizard so that I can reduce the size but the gridlines are coming out on the pattern even though they are not visable to the naked eye. Does anybody know how to get rid of these or has anyone got a suggestion on how to reduce the pattern? Even using a 20 count Aida it's still too big.
Thanks in advance
Kathy,
Finally I'm done with another project (for now).
I want to really get back to moving the program along but want to first turn on the 20 or so fixes and additions.
I'll look at your information, do the testing I mentioned before and will get back to you soon.

Hi, I added a 4th pattern to the mall Thursday & still await its activation so that it shows up there. Any problem with it? My other 3 were activated faster, just wondering if everything's OK with it.

Sherry,
How can a JoAnn's employee not know they carry cotton yarn?! Even our little dinky JoAnn's carries it, and at least the employees here all know about it!
I think that even when employees do know what they sell in the way of yarns, they don't really know exactly what to use for what. They don't know that cotton should be used for dishcloths, placemats, etc. And that acrylic shouldn't be used for things like potholders...but is fine for things where there are no worries about melting...such as afghans, garments, etc.
Though to be fair, the knitting question I answered was about double pointed needles. I haven't looked lately, but at that time, the only double points you could buy were a set of sock knitters. Which was fine for socks or for Barbie clothes, but useless for a much larger project. I forget what the woman was making, but I think she needed size 10 double points, and definitely, JoAnn's didn't carry anything that big back then!
It really is a shame.
If big box stores would find
and concentrate on a few niche areas, they'd have an easier job,
and then we would get that level of expertise that we used to have
yesterday from mom & pop stores.
