New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Hi, I joined tonight to make a pattern for a friend's Christmas present. Haven't cross-stitched since high school in the early 2000s, so it's been quite a while! Are there any nerdy/geeky/gamer circles on here?
Thanks!

Alright thank you for this information. Yes, I would love to test the c2c feature out. I think that would be great
Thank you again
for all of the help and answering my questions.
Welcome!
No mistakes...your English is impeccable!
So glad you like the freePatternWizard. Filet crochet isn't quite available yet, though it should be coming along in the near future. It will probably be a premier feature, with a low introductory price.
Follow-up I promised re: use of 300 vs. 100 stitches for cross stitch in create pattern. After much trial and error, I had to quit. I can't use the best one I got. I used a high quality photo that was fixed up in Photoshop. It would be no problem to make a pattern of it in P2P.
These are the settings that worked best for this particular picture, Wonder. Entire palette; use actual; rotate 90 degrees; contrast 30; Sharpen -6; antialias; Gaussian Blur; Sketch; Color Sensitivity15. Results: it uses 213 colors. Too many IMO but if less are used, it doesn't come as nice. Sizes: 21 1/2" x 26 7/8", 14 Ct; 18 7/8" x 23 1/2", 16 Ct; 16 3/4" x 20 7/8", 18 Ct. It has lines that aren't smooth enough, and a lot of the border design is missing. The girl's eyes aren't as detailed as they need to be. The lines are still blocky, meaning uneven and not smooth enough. Also I didn't want to have to rotate 90 degrees to get better results, making it sideways instead of upright. This screenshot looks a little better, but it's still not good enough to use it for a pattern. This image is copyrighted by me, Joyce Jackson, the artist. It's a watercolor painting on Arches wc board. Thanks for any advice you might have. Would it be possible to raise the upper limit of 300 stitches to a little higher? I've done some patterns on P2P where I think I've had widths of 425 or so stitches. Maybe up to 450, 500 would suffice?
Is there anyway that I could be upgraded as well? Thanks in advance.
