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.

Piddy,

This is absolutely WONDERFUL!

You should be so proud of producing something this amazing.

In beading, if you set a preference to not show the beads on the cover sheet of the pdf, the beads also go away on the pattern pages. The beads should still show on the pdf pattern pages regardless of this setting.
When using manual color choices, the program sometimes only chooses a couple colors, and sometimes not even ones you've chosen. This is more prevalent in beading.
The program sometimes introduces a gray color mainly when the image has no black and/or white.
A couple other color choosing issues will be fixed.

Then hopefully during October we'll be turning on a new internal graphics engine and at that point pdf charts will be exactly pixel-for-pixel the same as what you see on the screen. Currently there can be a difference. The new engine has had extensive testing with one of our corporate clients and works well. This new engine will also eliminate future color-choosing bugs.

Thanks to those who have sent me reports, images and settings. Like I say, some problems only show up in specific combinations of settings. I want to get these bugs fixed before starting to enable new things!

I'll update everyone as I fix each bug.

Line,

The dusty rose sounds lovely!

So with you on wearing white. It's a dirt magnet!

You know, if you really love the idea of two colors, maybe you could go pink/gray or pink/black? I've always loved those combos.

You could even go pink/green with a shade of green that sets off the pink.

I never make anything in white. I once went to someone's house and they had white carpeting on the floor. They were richie rich, obviously...that would never last around an active kitty, even one who only goes outside on a harness and doesn't get out there in the bad weather when she is on a harness! But can you imagine...all she'd need is a little leaky butt and she'd ruin the carpeting. Not on purpose, though. At least now if it happens, she leaks on a tile floor and cleanup is easy!

Oooh, electric blue...love!

Hugs,
Melanie
