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.

Shaleigh,
That's a pretty large stitched area you did, which isn't shabby at all considering you've had so little time to work on it. Kiss Excellent!
Oh, so with you...we wouldn't touch major renovations like that ourselves, either! We've had a friend do some smaller projects, but we just had the roof done professionally. It was a very major project. Those guys got that thing done and it was done right. No complaints!
Wow, that's quite impressive that you can do those things! Kiss I can't do any of it.
So glad most of the work you need to do is cosmetic. It's a LOT cheaper than getting a roofing job or anything of that magnitude!
You're so right, those rude comments did get under my skin. Stitching became almost a fight. In contrast, when I was new to stitching and still learning, a local shop saw my work and complimented me...and never once looked at the back of my work. And they were the professionals! The acquaintance was just a hobby stitcher.
I'm not very traditional, either! I have friends who have almost switched roles...the guy doesn't know much about power tools and his wife does all kinds of stuff with that. I think it's awesome! Who cares about traditionally defined roles?
In the US, at least where I grew up, they have "home ec" (short for "home economics") classes, but all they taught in mine were sewing and cooking. That was also in middle school. It was more the mechanics of how to do it. There were electives of cooking or sewing available in high school, but I didn't take either class and I don't know anyone who did, only in middle school when we all were required to take them.
The shop classes actually looked like more fun and they even allowed one girl to take it. I don't know that I would have wanted to, just because I would have felt uncomfortable. LOL, but now I'm kind of jealous because she learned a skill that I could use right now! Laughing
I can't imagine someone handing their work over to their future mother-in-law to inspect it. You could get some really nasty woman who didn't want to let go of her son! Shudder. Talk about a meddling mother-in-law!
Awww, I'm sure the back of your work is fine. Kiss And it wouldn't be my place to judge.
LOVE seeing your progress and look forward to each one! No worries about being sporadic with updates...that real life does like to get in the way, right? How dare it! Wink


Dawn,
Welcome! Smile
I'm not sure that you'd be able to size down quite that small. The key is to resize your image first to the size of the pattern you're trying to make. So if you wanted to make your pattern 15 beads across, you'd adjust your image to 15 pixels across. The problem with that is your original image may not be able to go as small as you need it to be for such a limited size project.
Unfortunately, the freePatternWizard can't be used to make the image smaller for you; since it's not a graphics program, it's only going to guess at what you'd want from a larger image. This size reduction has to be done in a graphics program before you upload your image. If you'd like to try that and you're on a PC I can give you links to two very powerful and free graphics programs that will handle the task.
