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.

Hi,

In section 7 do you have Output set to "Pattern in Pdf Format"?

Do you see your pattern on the screen if you set Output to "Pattern on Screen"?

If you cannot get it to generate a pattern on the screen then there may be another issue. In this case it should be showing a red error message with more information.

Let me know more and I'll try to help.

If you're working as the example on the left, where row 1 starts at the bottom and goes to the top, that's called working vertically.

If you're working as the example on the right, where row 1 starts at the bottom and goes to the top, that's called working horizontally.

This is the cause of my confusion. If you say you're working horizontally, the example on the right is what I'm seeing. So if you're actually doing the left example, you're working vertically, and that's what we call portrait mode. If you're doing the right example, you're working horizontally, in landscape mode. Think about it as a picture on the wall. In most cases, the left would more likely be a portrait of a person, the right would more likely be a landscape, such as a sunset or a forest scene, where you want to see a wider view.

So, as long as you send the image in either like the example on the left, if you'll be working the rows that way, or if you send the image in like the example on the right, if you'll be working the rows that way, you'll be working the stitches correctly.

My guess is you're really doing what's on the left, but you're calling it horizontal, which is incorrect, as it's vertical. And if that's the case, as long as you sent your image in as a vertical image, then it's fine.

Crochet and Knitting charts now show stitch counts on the first page of the pdf charts
I added A2 paper size. This is a huge size that can fit more stitches on a page. There are 3 or 4 updates coming related to stitch size and what you can fit on a page but I'm not sure exactly when these will come live. They're being tested.
B5 paper size has had a minor change to fix an intermittent format problem.
I completely changed the formatting code for the key page of charts. Several paper sizes had slight intermittent formatting problems where some columns did not line up but these have been fixed.
I corrected the "Palette Used" title on charts that used the Stitchboard Basic palette. It used to show "Stitchboard Word Chart Palette" but now shows the correct one.
Finally I made 4 or 5 other minor bug fixes that I've found as I get closer to turning on the new freePatternWizard program.

Let me know if something doesn't work after these changes! I don't think I created any new problems.

Much more coming!

Terry

Line,
