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!

Hello every one. I am new to the group and very excited to find this site.
Thank you so much for such a genuine reply, I do appreciate it.
I've shown my local textile shop owner my first pattern I've made and she thinks it's great so that's a very good start. She also said that as the fabric comes in inches her local customers can speak and think in inches too so the cm issue is removed for me now. As a quilter I can think in inches too so I know what she means. (In
Australia we moved from the old imperial measurements, including inches, in the 1960's when we went metric.)
I've bought the Premium package for the Private Labelling and am fairly happy with it. I would like to be able to include my # hashtag in the footer but couldn't customise it.
With the Notes section I've been able to add some useful information but I think I've added so much that the Company name top row has disappeared. As I'm only using 20 thread colours there is room at the bottom of the front page for all the fields plus my Notes. Maybe that's an easy fix? But often what seems easy with technical projects takes three times as long!
I certainly know what you're talking about with a long to do list, mine is always growing and there's not enough time to get through it all.
Part of the solution I'm working with now is a Useful Information Guide I've made up to go with the pattern that has Tools and Notions, Number of Skeins Required for the Project (I worked up a table with the variables of fabric count, stitch count ranges and threads (1, 2, 3) - based on that handy skein estimator) and a Needle Size Chart as my textile shop lady said customers just want to come in with a shopping checklist. At this stage it is a separate PDF but hopefully I'll find a way to include it in the Pattern PDF.
Lots of learning to do and I'm really enjoying this project. Thank you for making such a carefully thought through tool that is affordable to experiment with.
I'm hoping someone can help me here.
I managed to download a graph of a picture I'm hoping to bead, it's 150 across 271 high that's seems oka.
But when I looked at the graph it's in separate pages! So I need help in knowing how to read it.
This is my first attempt so a tiny bit lost
Is there anything on here that shows me how to do this only I couldn't see anything
Thanks guys
Neave,
Thanks for letting me know!
I don't want to be confusing,
and I know that sometimes we don't share the same
phrases. 
Psmith,
Welcome!
Before you go to a big, complex pattern, my suggestion would be to start with some small graphs that you can find online. It would be daunting to start with a very large graph first; as I found out with bead crochet, starting without practicing or trying it out can be very difficult. Until I stopped thinking about all of the big projects I could make with bead crochet and started some practice pieces with yarn and big plastic pony beads, I couldn't do bead crochet. Starting with the yarn and pony beads made all of the difference.
That's why my recommendation is to try something smaller first. Try some smaller patterns where you can become accustomed to working on graphs. Once you've done a few of those and know how to handle changing colors and weave in the ends, then I'd say to start with a larger graph, but until then, I wouldn't suggest going to a large, complex pattern for your very first graphed project.
