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, Isabelle.
I just did three tests. 1. Showing the .pdf on the screen, 2. Downloading the .pdf pattern, and 3. Having it email the .pdf pattern to myself. All three worked fine on my laptop. I also just downloaded and emailed a .pdf chart using my iPhone and they worked too. So the basic functions are working.
BUT, one of the great "joys"
of programming and developing software for
internet use (which I've been doing for some 20 years) is that
there are always companies upgrading device software versions, and
changing what and how they support various functions. So
things that work today might not work tomorrow after an
upgrade. Or if I make a change on our end, all of a
sudden something might not work on 1%, 10%, 50%, or 100% of the
users' browsers on certain devices.Back on March 24 I moved the entire site over to our secure server because that's how the internet is headed. Security is super-important!
In doing some research, I do see some versions of the standard Android browser have a problem downloading .pdfs from a secure website. This is not a problem on our end but just something that Google didn't work through in their browser. I did also see that people who then used a different browser on the same device were able to download just fine. I'm guessing there are other browser versions on some other devices that may also have an issue.
What's the solution?
1. You can have it email the pattern to yourself (set in the freePatternWizard section 7).
2. Change your browser.
3. Upgrade your browser.
4. Help me offer work-arounds.
Number 4 above would probably be the better solution in many cases. All this would take is to have one or more users who have a problem downloading a .pdf chart give me some information so I can thoroughly research the cause. I had to do a similar thing when Microsoft caused a problem with one version of one of their browsers.
So if anyone reading this would be interested in helping, I can probably come up with a fix in a short period of time. Just let me know.

I'd love to test. I think allowing people to decide what they are comfortable with is a good idea.

Line,
Hee hee, let's petition for one exam per semester.
Um, yeah, somehow that doesn't sound
like it would fly.Actually, 1 1/2 hours sounds like about how long some of our exams run here. So is it mainly that you get 4-6 hours to take them, but they don't really run that long unless someone needs an extra amount of time? I've had it where there wasn't enough time or I needed a tiny bit more...but some professors are very strict that a deadline is a deadline. And with them, if you're not finished, that's it. Thankfully it was like that only with a handful of exams over the entire four years, and the rest were okay. And then there were some that gave as much extra time as necessary...though it couldn't ever be 4-6 hours! I took so long with one of my history exams, sigh, I think I stayed an extra 45 minutes at most. Because we were allowed to make up our own topics for the essay portion of this exam, with professor approval on the day of the exam. And I'd studied certain things that I thought would make a good essay, because he told us we could pretty much do that!
So the day of the exam arrived, we got to the essay portion, and he asked for subjects. I gave the one I preferred...and he said there wasn't enough...oh, crap...there really was enough!
Then I gave another one, and he said
that wasn't enough (oh, yes, there was!) but I could put it with
something else (he gave the extra topic, which I did know) and that
would be fine. That was what I did. But it was
a lot, because of the extra part he
wanted. 
I don't think he
realized it added way too
much. And that's what took me an extra 45ish minutes,
because I had to write my entire essay (by hand) - LOL, home
computers were still in their infancy...okay, really, the Ice Age
had just ended 
- and putting both parts of the
essay together took forever. And the last I saw of the
professor was that very day, so I received my grades through the
mail. I got an A on it...well, yeah, because I wrote and
wrote and wrote that essay!Kind of wish I'd had an opportunity to speak to him once more, though, because I wanted to hear him admit he'd given waaaaaay too much to cover on my suggested subject for that essay!
I love his hat...it looks so good!
And his sweater is absolutely
adorable! The picture isn't bad...no worries!
He looks adorable and soooo nice and
warm. Your mother really did a great job with the
sweater...are things getting better with her, I hope?
Holding my breath that everything is improving. Sometimes it can be soooo hard with
parents. Just a thought...do you want me to see if I can rotate the pic for you?
Hugs!

Sammy,
At this time editing functions are not available. In order to get only a portion of your image, you'd have to use a graphics program to edit it, then send that edited version through the freePatternWizard.
