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 I'm New to this and want to ask some questions. Please can anyone help me

Hi,

Here are a few ideas.

1. Try selecting 5c "Limit the number of colors" and set a number like 7.

2. Try setting section 8 "Color sensitivity" to a higher number. You may want to bring this number up to something like 100 or 200 and see what that does. The results vary by image so there's no magic number. If it's better, try a larger or smaller number and see if you like one better than another.

3. Choose section 5 "I will choose my colors" and select exact colors you'd like. This would allow you to define the number of colors and tell it to only choose the given ones.

4. Varying brightness and/or contrast will also vary the number of colors but this is not really their main use.

5. You can also try a combination of the above. (If you choose "I will choose my colors" in section 5, you will not be able to use 5c).

Let us know whether this helps.
