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!

Greetings, I am new to the site. I would like to create a blanket out of a perler bead pattern I have a PDF for but I am not sure how I can accomplish this. I posted for help on Facebook and was directed to this site. Stitchfiddle only does small images and that's not what I want. I want to create a blanket for a person and the blanket needs to be at least 6ft horizontally. I can't attach my picture, but if I could, I would show what I mean.
De'Andrea,
I understand...I wouldn't be able to remember anything from 16 years ago, either...I can barely remember what I had for dinner last night!
You know, I bet a whip stitch would do the trick, even if that's not the way you actually did it on those particular pieces!
So did you also find it tedious to do your own framing? Ugh, just doing the stitching to make the fabric lay perfectly flat was sooooooooooo difficult...I still have nightmares about it!
(Not really...but almost!)
I think that's a lovely idea, to practice with your regular satins...and koi and lotus blossoms are such beautiful things to practice!
I disagree...your work is beautiful and if you can combine pieces so well AND add your own elements...that's pretty amazing! I definitely think you have what it
takes to be a designer!
What kinds of beading patterns did you make available...I'd actually be interested! Do you know the name of the group offhand? I may already be a member...though I haven't been in the FB groups in ages...just too much to do, sigh.
Boo to real life for getting in the
way of fun things like beading!
Terry by all means, I welcome any help I can get bc I am determined to figure this out. Thank you so very much...Portia

Hi,
I remade my graph using basic colours. The only reference I have is colour numbers. For example: basic colour 31, or basic colour 25. Is there somewhere where I can find what each colour is? Like 31= Black
Thanks!
Lynn

Donna,
Welcome! 
As you've
noticed, something as large as a logo is difficult to work with
when you're going that small. The best suggestion I can give is to
make sure you have your original image in a pixel-to-stitch/bead
ratio (meaning if you want 20 beads across, you should have 20
pixels in your image). This, of course, won't be possible with a
lot of images, as you'll lose most or all of the detail when trying
to make the images so small.
Then when you
have the image as small as you want it in beads, in #6 in the
freePatternWizard you'd set the number of stitches/beads in this
way: I wish to enter my desired count -
Number of stitches desired: XX (where XX is the number
of beads across that you desire, rather than the default of
80).
The other thing is that the
freePatternWizard for now will set the height for you. We made it
that way originally so people wouldn't skew or truncate their
patterns. A future version will allow you to designate the height,
but for now the freePatternWizard will do that
automatically.
My guess is the NFL images
are too detailed to go that small, but I'm not very familiar with
them and don't know if that's true.
Hope
that helps!
