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!

So, I started a new project today on black 16 count aida and I can't see to follow the grid! I had 18 ct linen and knew that would be impossible, so went with the other and I still have a problem. Any tips for using black cloth? I may go to 14 ct and see if that helps.
Amandy,
You're very welcome!
Just a thought...have you tried choosing your own colors? If you choose the blues you have, would that solve the problem? I understand...the cost of a lot of beads for a really large project would be prohibitive...beads aren't cheap!
To choose your own colors, in option 5 b) select, "I will choose my colors (select to see the colors)," which will open up small samples of colors and numbers that you can check.
Unfortunately, we haven't found a source for new colors. We're trying to always keep the colors up to date. If you're aware of any source, please do let us know!
On my beading pdfs, I used to have a full pattern image on the first page which showed what my pattern would look like. In other words, it showed the little squares for individual beads which was helpful to see what my finished pattern would actually look like. Now, when I get my pdf, it is just the jpg image I uploaded. How do I make the pattern image appear on the pdf - I don't know if I accidentally unclicked something.
Hi, Everyone,
Since we upgraded the site to a secure server (HTTPS:) back in April, some users have been experiencing periodic problems getting their pdf charts on the screen.
This problem shows up both in IOS and Android devices.
In testing I found that there's no single solution. Some devices work no matter what (like my iPhone). Other require you change the pdf format setting in section 7 of the freePatternWizard.
For those IOS device users having pdf viewing problems, I just re-enabled a "screen" option in section 7 that helps.
The problem is that there's no common solution to the pdf viewing problem. Users with an iPad using a certain version of IOS and browser might have no problem. Those with a slightly different version of browser on the same device might have a problem. Some with a different IOS version with the same browser version might or might not have a problem. Again, they come and go depending on the combination of device, operating system version, and broswer version.
SO, if you have a problem getting a pdf chart (like all you see is a bunch of garbage text on the screen or get a download failed message), try another setting in section 7. There are currently 3 options — Download pattern, Show /pdf pattern on screen, and Email pattern to myself. If you have a problem with one setting, try another.
Some versions of operating systems and browser versions are more sensitive to downloading pdf files from a secure server.
I'll eventually be adding a 4th option that should offer a universal fix but for now most users should find an option that works by trying the different pdf settings in section 7.
