New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
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!

It's not possible to give a length to the freePatternWizard, because if you were able to do so, your image might either end up truncated or much too short or skewed to fit, and it probably wouldn't be a pleasing result. So what you'll need to do is add borders to your original image, and I can't tell you how wide or tall, because I know nothing about your image. Anyway, since we don't limit you to trying the freePatternWizard only once, you can try different sized borders around your image, either top/bottom or side/side (but not both), until the end result is as close as possible to the 184 x 280. And it will also depend on your image. For instance, if you're using an image that's got a tiny figure on it and is blurry, you'll never be able to get a good graphical pattern out of it.
If you don't have a graphics program and you're using a computer, you can download free graphics programs to edit your image - one is called Gimp and the other is called Paint.net and they're available here:
http://gimp.org/
http://getpaint.net/
If you have questions about how to use either of these programs to add borders, you'll have to ask them of the particular program's support, as I don't use either of those...I use an ancient version of Paint Shop Pro, so that's why I've never used those programs, and would be just as confused as you about what to do.
I've noticed you've been asking a lot of questions about how to make images of certain sizes, and the answer is the same every time until we have a feature (likely a premier feature) to resize images. The answer is always to add borders to your image until the freePatternWizard produces the correct result. You'll find that sometimes it will be off in one direction or another, and that will prompt you to add different combinations of borders until it works the way you want it, which likely won't be the exact numbers you want, unless you're lucky. But you should be able to get it near the right size with borders. I'm guessing you really want me to give you a specific fix for this issue, but I would be remiss if I did.
If you don't want to mess around with your image and just want to make something that exact size, you can wait until we offer a premier feature that will then properly resize your image; however, I don't have a date as to when this will be ready.

Still having problems. Here is what I can tell you. When I start the website tab reads "Stitchboard.com free pattern Wizard". I choose beading, peyote, rectangle beads, miyuki delica, automatic closest color match, entire palette, 78 stitches, pattern in pdf, color and symbols, 5 and 10 grid, show pattern on screen, gradual tones 20, stray pixel cleanup-heavy. My picture size in 202KB. I click on lets see pattern and the website tab changes to "waiting for stitchboard.com"
And that's were it stays, I have waited for over 30 minutes and still nothing. I've tried at least 4 times just today. Different times during the day, and the weather is good, no electrical interference as far as I can tell.
I've gone to other places on your website and everything else seems to be ok.
Hope you can help! Don't know really what else I can add but if you need more info just let me know.
