New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
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!

I would love to be a bata tester for the plastic canvas paterns.
Hey there stitchers!
I am new to cross stitch, I just taught myself how to do it last month! I am a recent college graduate working a desk job and all of my friends at work want me to teach them to stitch, although I do not think I am qualified enough to teach them yet! I have a few questions I am sure many beginners have. Please forgive any wrong vocabulary that I use, as I am still learning the nomenclature of the hobby.
(1) How can I know what size ring to use for a pattern- I have been employing the use of guessing and some basic math, but what should I be on the lookout for on patterns that would indicate what size of a ring to use?
(2) What should I use to tack down the excess cloth around the ring when I am finished with a pattern?
(3) I have been using the 14 size cloth and using either 2 or 3 strands for stitching. Is this what folk's typically used? I prefer to use 3 over 2 but I wasn't sure if the thick stitch would create problems for me down the line.
Thanks!

FYI I am sherry Michael is my son who is planning to help create patterns for me, they will be his first with software but he draws them out often.
Hi,
I use Stitchboard since a long time now on my pc, but since yesterday I can't download my patterns anymore.
Every time I click on download pattern I go back to the homepage.
Is there a problem at the moment?
Regards
Isabelle

LabMom,
Welcome!
Great name!

I'm
sorry to say we lack the ability to track what happens with
patterns once they're created. As we don't require exclusivity,
people are free to make their patterns and sell them wherever they
want, even if it isn't Stitchboard. For our site in particular, we
strongly believe we don't have the right to tell people they must
keep their own work exclusive to our site.
It may also be that the Stitchboard FreePatternWizard
was used to create the pattern, rather than that being a location
for where the pattern is being sold.
My best
advice is if you can locate the designer, you may want to try
contacting him or her and ask where the pattern may be purchased.
