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!  Laughing

I have 4 stitches per inch and two rows per inch I would like my total number of stitches to be 244 across what number do I put in for stitches. I tried 62 but if I enlarge the pattern (on screen) I can't tell what it is so I am afraid it won't look correct enlarged on the blanket. I have been trying to figure this out for over a month and it is driving me crazy. I feel it should be very simple. Help???

Hi crafty26142.

Back on November 1 of last year we began a small annual subscription to 300 or 500 stitch features.  A direct link to the subscription page is here.

For a bit more details see this message.

If you have any further questions, let us know!

Melanie, 

Unfortunately breeding is easy money for a lot of people..
Puppy mills sometimes have 50 dogs or so, walking around in cages, never getting checked up on, and breeding on the females everytime they are in heat..

It's awfull Sad



Anyhow - School is KILLING me.. 
 

zeeara,

You're upgraded!  Smile

Julie,

Since your picture is a pdf or similar file, insert the picture into a Word doc.  

Then  click "Format" from your main toolbar.  Then "Remove Background".

 

 



(In my example, the pic had a border, but when I "removed background" only the part inside the dotted lines will be kept.  You may need to play with it a bit.)


Your pic will have a dotted square within it, which you may need to pull out with the handles to encompass your pic.  The part that appears in purple will be erased.  You can mark areas you want to keep or remove from the toolbar above, then "keep changes".

Then resave your upgraded pic to a pdf etc file.

When you then pull that pic into the cross stitch program you will hopefully have no (or much less) background to deal with.

Hope this helps.

Janice
