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!

Hi, tnelson.
Since I'm the one doing the development, debugging, and initial testing, I can tell you that it's coming along.
In February I completely rewrote the graphics engine that does the bulk of the processing work. I'll probably turn this on for Crochet, Cross Stitch, and Knitting first. There hopefully won't be any apparent operational differences (except maybe faster processing and possibly a bit fewer stray pixels). After some initial use by everyone, I'll enable it for Beaders.
This new graphics engine makes the live editor much easier and faster to use.
As Melanie pointed out, browser compatibility is always our concern and I've had to make changes to code or even the way a function works just to be sure everyone can use it without upgrading their browser. And this especially relates to our Premier features (although we love people using the program even if they don't subscribe to anything!) I don't want to have to tell people, "Oh, this only works if you have the most recent version of the browser." In most cases I do have workarounds that allow functionality even with older browsers.
The live edit version also has a whole new look and that's all part of the process. We're thinking of always having a "classic version" (looking kind of like it does today), and then the new version. We would allow people to switch between them depending on what they're working on.
As I get a bit closer to opening the live edit feature, we may ask for some volunteers to beta test it.
So in answer to your question, "we're working on it". I have a handful of new things to finish up and make live before spending most of my time on the live version. We've seen a need for this since day one!

It would be very intriguing ... I'll do some more thinking on it ... I'm a bit behind at the moment due to my migraines again so these will have to be on the back burner for a while, but I'd really like to do something with this idea someday soon.
I will keep in mind the size issue ... possibly design them so you can do either dishcloth or for afghan. I hadn't really thought about size before so I'm glad you mentioned it.
Thanks, dear. <3 <3 <3

Shaleigh,
You've made some
amazing progress! You should be very proud! 
Audiobooks are
great for stitching...and very smart. LOL, I watch TV sometimes,
but it gets really distracting when having to look away from the
work all the time.
I don't see anything that
looks really bad, but then stains have a way of showing WAY better
in person than in a picture, sigh. Also, my guess is your stitching
will cover all but the very edges of the fabric, and if so you
might be able to frame it in such a way to keep the edges from
showing.
Q-Snaps: I had no problem at all
with them covering already-stitched areas; at least it all looked
fine to me after. And it seemed to be even better than working with
a frame. I once used a rolling frame of some kind for a specific
piece, where the excess fabric was rolled up and out of the way.
Unfortunately, the fabric was just too coarse and loosely woven for
working without a frame or hoop or some support. That was before I
knew of Q-Snaps and honestly, I wished I'd known about them at the
time because that frame kept unrolling the fabric where it wasn't
taut, and it was SO hard to deal with. With Q-Snaps, a slight
adjustment of the brackets and it's perfect.
Also, the frame didn't prevent handling the excess
fabric. It was wood on the sides and had a roller at the top where
the fabric was held, IIRC. (That frame went somewhere unknown after
that project, and honestly, I don't really care where because it
was so awful, LOL. 
)
)Other than
Q-Snaps, it seems most methods don't prevent handling of fabric.
Q-Snaps don't entirely do that, either...but it seems to me that
there's a lot less handling because the brackets that hold the
fabric on have so much coverage. Because that's what I hold onto,
not the fabric itself. Which doesn't necessarily mean not touching
the fabric at all, because that's not really possible, but just
seems like it's less possible to do that.
Maybe a frame would work better for you, though? One
thing, whatever works for one person doesn't necessarily work for
another. And there are so many different types
of frames...I even saw a frame once that you sort of...sit on
(obviously, it had an extension to hold the fabric, LOL)! Not sure
how comfortable that would be, but the woman using it seemed to
like it.

something that works very, very well! And keep up the great work
because it looks absolutely AMAZING!
Conny,
Look forward to seeing
more of your posts!
So glad you can
feel like you're here, without taking a step out of your living
room! The Internet makes things feel soooo close.
Can't wait to
see your work...when you're ready, of course!
