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.

Alison,
Welcome! Smile
A later version of our software will offer the ability to start from scratch with a blank graph; I'm very sorry to say that we don't offer the ability to do that at the moment. For now, our software exclusively offers the ability to make patterns from digital images only.
That said, it's not impossible, and here's what you may want to do...if you have access to a computer. (It may also be possible to use a mobile device; I just don't know enough about mobile device graphics programs, as I personally do all graphics work on computer.) Using a computer, you could "draw" your pattern as boxes in a graphics program by using a transparent grid as only a guide, saving your work in a png or tif format, and then using the resulting image here either to output as a black and white cross stitch (for a square grid) or a filet pattern. (The filet pattern is technically for filet crochet, but as it depicts blank or filled squares, that should work for normal or bobble. And, like cross stitch, it's square.)
Hope that helps! If anything is unclear, please let me know, or if you have more questions. And if you do have computer access but not a graphics program, there are two excellent, powerful programs that are free and highly recommended.


B,
You're most certainly not alone! Wow, some of those colors aren't even close, and that single strand of 263 looks more like the larger group of beads for 262.
Lol, no, you don't need new glasses unless I need them, too!
Damn, now I can't unsee this...please share your frog pills! Laughing


Zuesad,
C2C is a stitch that means "Corner to Corner." This stitch is worked diagonally. It sounds more complex than it is. It's actually quite simple!
This is a step-by-step tutorial and you can see what it looks like from the very first picture.

Tabitha,
Welcome! Smile
Getting the image into the freePatternWizard is a bit complicated. It depends on the quality of the original item, the quality of the scan or image you get from it and the number of colors in what you create from that image or scan.
If you create a clear image or scan with limited colors, it should work.
When you generate your pattern it will create a cover sheet with the image, colors, symbols, etc, and stitch counts.
You may not have to add any options to the freePatternWizard if your stitch count is under 150 stitches. And unless you want more custom labeling, you may not have to purchase anything there, either, if it all works for you as is. Kiss


GmaMiller,
Welcome! Smile
I'm sorry to say that capability isn't available at this time. Originally, the freePatternWizard was designed to figure out the rows automatically because we were afraid people were going to truncate or skew their patterns and we wanted to preserve the correct aspect ratio.
This will be addressed in a future issue (unfortunately, I don't have a date as to when that will be available), so for now the only way of compensating is to add borders to your original image on the left and the right and then keep working with it until the dimensions are as you want. I apologize; I know this isn't pretty or a great solution, but until the capability is available to designate the number of rows, that's the best way to get to the dimensions you want.
And...a cat? Oooh, do tell! Not that I love cats or anything (besotted). Wink
