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.
To read a particular post, simply click on it!
I see that we can change the number of stitches across, can you change it vertically. If so how can I do that?
Hello! I am new and worked out some on my issues on my own but I am stuck
Is there a way to see what the pattern I created will look like on fabric?
What I mean is like when you buy a premade cross stitch kit, the cover shows a pocture of the completed work, usually in a frame or hoop.
I am trying to find a way to create that image. I know how to do mock ups, I just need the actual image.
THANKS!!!
Suzanne,
I'm not sure exactly which pattern you're looking for, but in my searches, I did find this, which is a free
pattern from Red Heart:
https://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/trip-around-world-throw
This pattern is crocheted, not knitted.
Is it anything close to what you're looking for? If it is, could you change the colors around to do what you're trying to accomplish? If not, could you somehow adapt the technique to make what you want?
Hope that helps!
Filet Crochet has been one of our most requested features and we've had a button showing for a long time. We just added this new feature and as we've been telling people, it's the newest Premier Feature.
What is Filet Crochet? Filet Crochet is a process of crocheting open and closed blocks to produce a basic picture or graphical design in one color.
This feature allows you to upload a drawing or graphic image and create your own filet crochet charts. You can turn on borders is you like, select turning chain count, and, as with other stitches, adjust your image with many optional tools. For those new here, the main freePatternWizard page is here.
Just a quick rundown...
Everyone subscribed to "All Premier Features" will already be able to access this new feature! Otherwise, when you subscribe to the Filet Crochet feature, you can then click on the "filet" button in section 3. When you do, section 5 will change to the following image:
Note the new options:
Borders lets you have the system automatically include top/bottom and/or left/right borders. You can also have it either count or not count the borders in your chart. So if you set it to not count borders and specify 40 blocks across and have left and right borders turned on, it would make a chart 42 blocks across. Telling it to count the borders would result in a chart that's 40 blocks across including the borders.
You can also set your desired turning chain count – either 2 chain or 3 chain. This will also affect the foundation starting chain count (explained in a moment).
Instead of "stitch" counts on the chart, it will now show "block" counts as shown below (note that some of the special formatting you see on the pdf cover page is made with the "Private Label (Custom) pdf Premier feature):
Next, on the cover sheet below the chart thumbnail image is a key showing that the black (filled-in) boxes are double crochet blocks and the others are open blocks. After this is information about the number of stitches that make up the foundation starting chain. A sample is below:
One other change is even row counts are now on the left and odds on the right. (For you left-handed stitchers, read this message about a new feature just added for you!
):
ALSO, we added filet default settings to the right "Settings" tab so you can make it always do borders or whatever when you select filet. These settings will only show if you have subscribed to the filet Premier feature.
We're looking for your input and please let us know what else you'd like! We're on a roll! Oh, yeah, and please subscribe to the filet feature!
