Hi, I took a picture and used the pattern maker to make a cross stitch pattern (free), however, it's very pixelated and I'm wondering how I can fix this.  I have completed quite a bit and it's really pixelating.  I think I'm using 16 count Aida....would the premium plan help me create a better pattern?
Any advice is appreciated,
Thanks,
Veronica


in the immortal words of emily litella....NEVERMIND!....i purchased a premier membership, scanned said chart into my computer and charted it. now i have the colors AND symbols...

MomMags,
You're so welcome!


Dave,
Welcome! Smile
What you're essentially is talking about is two plies of thread, doubled, which means you're using 4 ply. Smile
It's essentially the same as taking your floss and cutting it to whatever length for stitching, then stripping 4 plies of the six and threading them through your needle.
Though please...I hope you're using knots for the sake of your example and you won't actually be using knots in your work? SurprisedWink


Hi I am trying to creat a graph for an afghan that will be 66 x 90. But the pattern wizard only asks for the amount of stitches across. I need 180 across but I need 198 vertically according to my gauge swatch. When I enter the 180 across it generates its own vertical number that is in the 300's and would be incredibly long. 

gauge 3 stitches equal 1 inch horizontal and 2 stitches equal 1 inch vertically. 

Maybe there is an easy way for me to interpret the graph that I am not understanding, but could someone help me please? 
Thank you!
