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'll send you an email to which you can attach a few images. I'll run them and figure out what settings would be good.

Line,
Hee hee, that's so me!
I would definitely be
doing that. If our old washer broke down and we had to
have a new one, why settle for something without a wool
program? We'd be spending the money, anyway!
Oh, I didn't know it turned off the...agitation? That actually makes sense.
It probably really helps to make the settings yourself.
That's what I'd want to
do!
LOL, true...if you didn't make it and she laughed it off, anyway, then it was perfectly good for you to get a better laugh out of it!
You're so right...when they're small, of course it doesn't take a long time to make a sweater like that, but at 14-15 years old, they'll need larger clothes that will take longer to make! Especially if they get big quickly, which can happen!
Hugs,
Melanie
Neave,
Serves him right. He did that to himself. I hope that helped you to feel a little bit better, that he didn't get away with what he did?
Any update if there will be the ability to print a word chart for beading patterns?
Thanks; and I love your program.

M,
Welcome! Congrats on learning cross
stitch...it's such a fun thing to do and there are so many options
for projects!
Congrats on learning cross
stitch...it's such a fun thing to do and there are so many options
for projects!If by saying "ring," you mean
hoop, you can try to find one large enough to fit your entire
project, but that will only work if you have an extra large piece
of fabric, or only part of your project will be in the hoop. You
can also use a smaller hoop that fits your fabric, but then you
must keep readjusting if it only shows part of your
project.
If you're using Aida cloth, a lot
of that is very stiff and often needs no hoop at all.
There's also another option if you really feel you need
a hoop. There are frames called Q-Snaps. I personally have a few
different sized sets and love them! They're made of PVC pipe and
they have a piece that holds the fabric on pretty securely! There's
no need to reposition the frame, like with a hoop, as they allow
for maximum fabric showing. Simply get the right size for your
project, snap it on, and go. I've used my frames for linen,
especially very coarsely woven linen that absolutely needs a hoop.
With a hoop the project would have taken much longer, but with the
Q-Snaps, it was easy!
When you mention
tacking down the excess cloth around the ring, are you talking
about using a hoop to frame your finished work?
I've mostly used 2 strands for stitching on 14 count.
I've used 3 strands on 14 count, as well, with no problems. I'd say
it's more a matter of preference. Some people like better coverage,
some are satisfied with two strands.
I
mainly prefer two strands because there's a little trick to
starting with no ends, and it requires an even number of strands.
So working with 3 strands looked really nice...LOL, but it drove me
batty, because there were more ends to work in!
Hope that answers your questions!
