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.

Kelly,
Welcome! Smile
There are several different calculators available; one of the ones I've used before is this:
https://www.shinyhappyworld.com/2014/03/how-much-yarn-do-i-need.html
I used this one because I felt it was pretty clear. Even though it assumes you're using all of the same color for a project, the math is basically the same, as long as you use the number of stitches for each color.
There are other good ones, too, so you may find something you prefer! Smile


this is the picture I am trying to do. I do it on ansi c. it works out ok.  But I need to make the colors brighter so I can see the pattern.  Ansi c gives me 4 pages.  Thank you


Melanie,

LOL ... I can relate to that ... unfortunately.

Thank you, Neave!  Smile  Great work, and I highly suggest looking at Neave's albums, because she has much more of this wonderful work there!  Smile

Thank you. dear. <3 <3 Smiley I'll test how it does with a painting of mine I had trouble with yesterday & let you know how I do. Everthing I tried, the lines of the dragon's wings came too blocky.

I used Gaussian Blur, Blur, Stray pixels Medium On & Off, Antialias On & Off, several variations on Color Sensitivity ranges, much more. Nothing I tried helped. I think it's because my detailed paintings need a larger format in order to show well. I used Pic 2 Pattern & got excellent results with very little effort in larger sizes. As an example, 24" x 19.2" at 18 st/in. with DMC thread came nice for this painting.

I got pretty good results here for such a small size, 10 3/4" x 14 3/4 -14 Count, etc. with my Hidden Treasure painting which I submitted for sale at the Mall yesterday. (It's not showing up yet.) I got much better results on it, sorry to say, with just a few clicks at Pic 2 Pattern. I hope this site can get the pattern creator up to par with P2P's. I like this site better for all the other features, esp. community & option to sell, but the patternn creator is much harder to use for my needs, sorry to say. Anyway, hope the best for this site. It's very nice!
