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.

Hi, 

There is alot of info on You tube. Some better to understand than others.  All you have to do is join, and make sure you read the info on the home page and bottom left.  There is alot of You Tubers for cross stitch call themselves Flosstubers.  Hope this helps.

So I am now a few days into this project. I have already spent... a lot of hours on it. I am actually keeping track of how long this takes me. I am an accountant by trade so I just like data and numbers. But I wont report the numbers yet. As I am still only 2 months back into cross stitching then it feels like I am veeery slow still.
So far I love doing this. I am also so glad I got the 16ct fabric. You can make out the x's but there is not a ton of white shining through.
To keep track of where I am, I colour in the done parts with a highlighter.  I decided to start with the bottom right corner, from the last pages of the pattern. Because page 1, so the top left corner, had a lot of colour swaps in a small area.
Progress so far:
Seems like decently big chunk. Until you put it into perspective:
I started with a hoop. And though it was only in the hoop for maybe 2 hours that first night, you can still see the ring of it on the fabric. I am also worried about pulling and stretching already stitched areas with the hoop later. So I decided that this is the time to learn to stitch in hand. At first it was tricky. I had gotten used to the hoop with the small projects I did before. But now its not so bad. I am getting the hang of holding the part of the fabric that I am stitching stiff, but not stretching it too much.
I will try to update again in not too long.


Veronica,
You're so welcome! Kiss
You're not just a good stitcher - you're a fast stitcher, too, apparently! Kiss I'm pokey slow. Laughing
I hope you'll have it done by Xmas! Kiss Do you have a local framer that knows how to frame cross stitch? That's something that has been hard to find wherever I've lived. Plenty of framers, but not ones who know how to frame cross stitch. Frown
Please feel free to keep sharing pictures of your progress! Kiss


Tanya,
Welcome! Smile
Australia...love it! Kiss
No worries, I also have Windows woes, so I can completely empathize. Hope you can sort out the issues soon. Windows can be totally frustrating!

ThanksKiss
I understand how it works with the photo album. I createad one with pictures from my homeland.
I´m going to make albums of my work little by little. But I have to resize all the pictures first.
URL prompt pops up when you go to insert image without having previously entered titel,text and tac`s. It*s a firefox window.
I was in wrong order. In german they say: Das Pferd von hinten aufzäumen = bridle the horse from behind Laughing
love greetings Conny
