Thank you. I agree: cross-stitching is supposed to make you happy. No one can ruin that. I have tried to stop worrying about the back, and I am better than a few weeks ago about it.
You are welcome. Happy stitching!
Hi, pdevine.
I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind sending a copy of your image so I can try it out. I might be able to give you some settings that work or, if I find that there's something in the program that is causing a problem, I can fix it.
If you wouldn't mind, I can send you an email to which you can reply and attach your image.
I always want to be sure the problem is not the program.

p.s. As I complete the testing a completely new re-write of the graphics engine that does all the work in the freePatternWizard, I can also tell you that it handles colors and operations differently and some existing problems will go away. But in the meantime I want to make any changes/fixes necessary if the existing program has a problem.

Laydidi,
Welcome!
Yes, there is a
difference between UK and US crochet patterns. It's like UK is a
step up in sizes of US terms...or maybe we're a step down! LOL.
The chain (ch)
and slip stitch (sl st) are the same for both.
This is a comparison:
UK
US
Double crochet
(dc)
Single crochet (sc)
Treble
(tr)
Double crochet (dc)
Half treble
(htr)
Half double crochet (hdc)
Double treble
(dtr)
Treble (tr)
As for the freePatternWizard, we
sort of tried to include both, by calling it "standard," hoping
there would be less confusion.
For people
who are producing individual patterns, most of the time if they
don't include a notation, I generally can tell the difference (yes,
I have this issue, too!) if I see a lot of treble stitches. That
tells me it's likely a UK pattern. Unless it's meant to be a very
long stitch, US patterns don't tend to have a lot of trebles.
The other giveaway MAY be a lack of single crochet stitches, but that could also be misleading if a pattern is in US terms, but exclusively uses double crochets, sigh.

And if I've confused you more...argh! I'm so sorry. It's
confusing. I much prefer it when people write their patterns and
say if they're in UK or US terms. At least give us some idea! I
know which it will be if I see it in a UK or US magazine, but
otherwise, it can be hard to tell if a pattern is all dobule
crochet...is that a UK double or a US single? 
Hope that
helps!
