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!

Patti,
Sorry about that. I caught this and corrected it last night so it should work fine. You apparently tried it between the time I did the update in the morning and when I made the later correction to the database last night.
RedHeart Super Saver was actually the only palette that still had a manual color problem after my update.
Let me know if you still have problems with RedHeart.
Terry
Piddy,
I'm so glad you stuck with it, too!
It's easy to get discouraged with any project, so one that was very complicated and difficult would be even easier to get discouraged with.
Kathy,
Thanks! I got your images. Give me a couple days and I'll look at them.
Terry
This is driving me mad.

Often when I'm making cross stitch patterns with text in them, the black lines of the text, no matter how clear and sharp, often come out as light grey, green, or are even absent entirely.

I'm aware of the issues with JPGs so have tried both GIFs and PNGs with no improvement. I tried limiting the colours of the image which really has only 5, flat colours to begin with - but this only seems to worsen the problem. Tips?
Thank you for your reply and of course all help is appreciated. I am using a pc and a laptop.
