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!

Thank you so much! I used to be allergic to fractional stitches, but one day I was backstitching over a project that had none whatsoever and it could not stand how it looked! So I decided to just add them in where I see fit. It does not always work, trust me, but I think it looks great on the cupcakes. But I totally understand, they will look great with just full stitches, too.
I did do about 20 minutes of math getting these straight, even though I was never that good at math.
But I
bought this tool that is a ruler-like gauge thing, and you can use
it to tell what count your fabric is and there are numbers that
tell you how many stitches every inch, that sort of thing. It is
not 100% necessary because you can always just remember 14 count=14
stitches per inch, but it is really nice for charting designs on
cloth and stuff like that.
I decided that I have enough for three rows of four cupcakes each, and I will display them all on one big pices of aida, maybe write 2020 somewhere if it seems right. As for spacing, I really just do it as I go along, I will probably copy the same amount between January and February, because I do like how that looks. Even though the cupcakes are slightly different heights, I try to keep all of the bottoms along the same line, even though I obviously did not do that here From now on they will be along the same bottom line.
The Delica color 1744 is not like the color pictured in the Delica palette. The pic of the color is much darker. It was used in a pattern I made and appears almost black on screen and in pattern. In actuality the color is a bright pink. So the piece I'm making doesn't look like my picture. Does this problem happen often? I bought the colors listed, but it's messing up my picture. Thanks for the help
Oh wow! Can I please up upgraded as well? And anyone who has any experience in these graphs....... please help me! Any and all advice is welcome!
Neave,
I hear you about that Aida cloth! It used to be that there was afghan cross stitch fabric that had a large count...I forget how large, maybe 4 stitches across (?) - just know it was much easier to see. But my guess is it's been discontinued, because I haven't seen it in forever.
If I encounter it, though, I'll let you know...that would have to be online, because there's no store locally anymore. This area is terrible for keeping any kind of craft store open...our yarn shop closed ages ago and we lost a bead store a few years after that. And then recently we lost a JoAnn Fabrics, which is a pretty solid chain of fabric and craft stores, so now it's about half an hour to the next one. Of course, the cross stitch store was also half an hour away...but that one closed, too.
Thank you...that's very generous of you!

Welcome! 
Unfortunately,
the freePatternWizard will currently only work from a photo or
artwork. I've tried to find sites that let you start from scratch
with a blank grid, but everything I used to know has gone the way
of the dodo, sadly. We do have the capability in our
future plans, but I don't have a date for that, I'm sorry to
say.
