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!  Laughing

hello everyone.

i would like to ask if it is possible to change the patters symbols to numbers and letters.
i am new to the site and i dont know all the features 

SweetReet,
Welcome! Smile
No worries, you're doing the right thing! A gauge swatch is critical when working with an item where you need specific measurements. Kiss
For the number of stitches across, you need to calculate based on how many inches across you want the project to be. Since your gauge is 5 sts per inch, let's say you were trying to make something 50 inches wide, so you'd multiply 5 x 50 = 250 stitches.
As for Aida stitch count, Aida is a type of evenweave cross stitch fabric and is of no consequence here. Smile
The main thing to remember is that in this version of the software, you can determine the width of the pattern, but not the length. That will be changed in a future version of the software. The reason we did that originally was because we were concerned people would skew or truncate their patterns if they gave measurements that were too long or short.
The other thing is that it's best to make your uploaded image the desired number of stitches across = number of pixels before uploading it to the freePatternWizard. Thus, if you want something that's 250 stitches wide, it's best if you upload an image that's 250 pixels wide. This way, the freePatternWizard doesn't have to "decide" which pixels to leave out of the finished pattern. If you're on a Windows machine and don't have a graphics program to do this, I can suggest two very established, powerful and entirely free programs that can help you.
Hope that helps and isn't confusing! Kiss


I am trying to make a pattern out of a black and white line drawing...
Why on earth does the program add 28 colors and extra stuff to it making it IMPOSSIBLE to stitch properly?

all i want is a simple balck and white line to stitch...

I just found this site. I've been crocheting for a few years. I would like to attempt a picture afghan in memory of my father that passed away in August. If successful, I would give it to my mother and make smaller ones for my children and grandson.


What an awesome idea!  I hope you share pictures of the completed projects with us!
