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 are a lot of variables that can cause this.

It sounds like you chose "I will choose my colors" so it should only choose those colors.  I think Herrschners Worsted has 57 colors and is a bit limited.

Another thing that causes stray colors is if the original image is a .jpg.  It would be best to send it a very small .gif image with limited colors.

You may also want to try turning on Antialias in section 8.  Also adjusting brightness and contrast might help.

These are some ideas that come to mind.

In December I'll be working on a new version that includes the ability to fine-tune the pattern manually before printing it out.  I'm not sure yet whether this new version will be available yet then but I'm doing testing on it now.

I am actively crocheting a baby blanket that I want to cross stitch dinosaurs on. Most likely T-Rex, Stegosaurus and maybe Brontosaurus. I can't find any patterns I like elsewhere on the web. Any ideas? Should I create my own patterns?

Thanks!

Wow, I'd never heard of Vikings, but that's an amazing logo! Kiss Love that you're now crocheting it...looking great so far! Kiss
Though I don't watch the show, I love the logo so much, I'm considering perhaps cross stitching it. It's begging to be made up in some form or other! Smile


My thanks to Sara who reported that the screen pattern download function was not working.

I just corrected the problem and it works again.

Also, it now saves the pattern image with the same base file name as the original uploaded image.

So if you upload an image named "kitty.jpg", your pattern download would be named "kitty.gif" (since all downloaded patterns are in .gif format to preserve maximum resolution).

If you upload a .gif image, your pattern that's downloaded will have the prefix "pattern-" added to the beginning of the file name.  So if you upload an image called "kitty.gif", the downloaded image will be named "pattern-kitty.gif".  This prevents writing over your original image.

You can always override the download filename and enter any name you want when asked.

Line,

I think you must buy two new cones!  On the practical side, you don't want to get to the end of your pattern and not have enough yarn.  Surprised

And of course you can never get enough yarn!  Laughing

You could also use two different colors if you like to combine colors.  Smile

Hugs,
Melanie
