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.

Being a Warcraft user and fan, I'm looking forward to the end product.  Congrats on wedding and good luck on this!  I'm sure it will take a while, but will be worth it.

Hello,   I am Sunny and I am new here so I am not sure how this works.  I started a graphgan and it has some available space at the bottom of the project to make it longer and I wanted to add a word at the bottom but I have never put any pics or words on a graph on my own, so I was wondering if anyone could help me add row to the bottom of a project I have already started and get the right pixel etc for the project.  Thank you.

Welcome! Smile Your message is most certainly allowed...this is what we're here for!
Here are a couple of suggestions that may help. For one thing, you need to knit looser for this technique, as pulling too tight can cause bunching as you describe.
Another idea: are you using bobbins of yarn or actual skeins? Bobbins are more portable, so to speak, and are far less unwieldy than trying to use entire skeins, so you can control them better.
Also, yarns shouldn't be carried over too long of a distance...they should only be carried over 3 stitches at most. To keep the floats from being too long, yarns should be crossed over each other at the back of your project about every 2 or 3 stitches or so. This will help to keep extra-long pieces from forming and bunching up your work. Smile
This isn't to say there may not be other factors, but these are the most common possibilities. Smile
Hope that helps!


I almost forgot the design pattern I created for a Christmas star in peyote this past December. On the Seed Beads And More FB group page they had a November and December beading challenge to make Christmas stars either ones from the pattern pdfs in their files or one of our own. I had made a couple of stars already the yr before and made a few from the files I gave as gifts. Then I decided to design a special one for me in the Southwest style which is what I know best and is the simpliest to create. I did it also on my BeadToll4 program, but since they don't offer star pattern grahps I created the star designs in diamond shapes and just beaded it as a  complete star. I never did change it to a star graph since I know how to follow it to make it without the pattern being on the graph. Soem asked me if I would create one on a star pattern, but I declined as it would ahve had to be hand colored in and no pdf which most folks want to go by. I did tell anyone who desired could use the designs in a star or in any way they chose if they wanted. So far I ahve not seen a single star or other beaded item with my designs which is fine with me too. I do have a pdf for the diamonds I created to amke this star from.

I call this star "Walks In Spirit". It is also the name I  created years ago and use for my beading I send out with any beaded items I make for folks.


Shiravila,

You've been upgraded!  Have fun!
