site news and information

Hi, All

First, for anyone having any problems bringing up the freePatternWizard pattern creation software by using the top drop-down menu, feel free to Take This Link


Our showcase has been updated. If you've previously uploaded a showcase in the past, please check to see if it's been posted; meanwhile, if you want to submit one (or another one, if you've already posted before), feel free to do so!


Also note we now have an additional (optional) assembly page for the freePatternWizard. This is for larger pieces that have multiple pages. Much smaller patterns won't need this.


To freePatternWizard paid Premium subscribers having problems logging in:

If you're logged into your Stitchboard account (shows "Hi, name" in the upper right corner of each page), you can ignore the rest of this message.

If you're not logged into your Stitchboard account and you are a freePatternWizard paid Premium subscriber, please take this link one time to verify your subscription(s). It will also ask you to change your password. Again, you only need to do this once.

If you are not a paid Premium subscriber and are having problems logging in, try logging into the Stitchboard website. If you see an "Invalid login username or password" message, you may need to re-register at this link or by clicking the "Register" link at the top of the page. If you try re-registering and get a "duplicate email address" message, you'll need to go through the "password change" function by using this link.

Secoya,
It IS crazy!
I did some work once that required a laying tool (I used something I had hanging around, an embossing tool or something), but it wasn't a cross stitch project (some kind of embroidery) and it wasn't a major deal. That way, it looked nice. But I really didn't care in which direction the fibers faced Undecided, eyeroll, so even when I used the loop method or just stripped the floss and put it together with another piece I didn't care which way the fibers were facing. That is just TOO nuts for me.
And you're right. When I think about things that (to me) have had glaring errors, I have to remember nobody else was ever going to see them. And with this, who would be insane enough to take a jeweler's loupe out of their bag and start examining the fibers closely? Undecided
Even when I made a store kit for a demo and stitched over 5 instead of over 4, not even the store noticed the mistake. And to me, that was far more glaring than fiber facing the "wrong" way.
There are just some things that in art are way too extreme. Even for making a one of a kind art piece, I can't imagine being that interested in details, every ply of floss has to have the fibers facing exactly the same way and laying side by side, as well!
Isn't art supposed to help one to keep one's sanity in insane circumstances, not help them to lose their mind? LOL.


Haha yes! I have three overflowing folders of them that weigh around five pounds each. I promise you that I am not exaggerating! I agree that it is hard at first but soon come naturally. My best cross-stitch friend, who I introduced to cross stitch, figured it out before I did-just by reading instructions! Thank you for your kind post.



Thank you.  I'm impressed by how quickly you respond to users.  I appreciate that you try to accommodate what everyone wants even when they are sometimes opposites.  Amazing

Melanie,

I don't get tired of cooking as much as I get tired of trying to figure out what to cook. Tongue Out
The family isn't much help, "I don't know" isn't a dish I know how to make. Wink

I feel for you with the dry, chapped hands. Cry Mine can get pretty bad in winter too, and it isn't near as brutal here.

Astrid,

What beautiful gifts. Love the loop shawls, and that scarf is wonderful.
Do your winters get brutal, with the single digit cold like the area where Melanie is?

I understand about trying to use the phone to upload pics, I'm learning to do it from a tablet. Melanie told me a trick for resizing and it works. I upload the pics to facebook and they are automatically resized, then I can just copy them here. Smile
