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.

mall search, enter Majestic Horse Afghan, I had to scroll down a few patterns but it is there. Thanks

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?

Hello from Northern PA!  I have been crocheting since the age of 10.  My nana taught me many years ago!

I am about to begin my first graph; however, I am seriously stuck!  It's the words:  Star Wars - Black background/Words in Yellow. 

This is what I have learned so far:

Odd number rows - work from left to right / Even number rows - work right to left.  I did the first 20 rows of my design and it was not right.  I frogged it and started over by making a new pattern here at stitchboard. 

I clicked "I am left handed" (This wasn't an option when I made the first patten here a long time ago)

My graph & written pattern is ready --- here's what I can't get passed ~~~~

Since I clicked the "I am left handed" box - do I:

A)  Read as a regular pattern / turning the work at the end of each row?

OR

B) Follow the Odd/Even Number Rule as above?

If I use the Odd/Even rule above how will I know it will turn out - as the last try was a mess.

I don't know why I'm having such trouble with this - I just can't get my brain to comprehend! 

Hopefully someone will have an answer for me!

That would be great.  I can send you the original image, my generated pattern, and photos of the actual project so far.

Sandy,

You're very welcome!  Smile

Glad you've found us and are here now.  Smile
