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!

Portia,
Yes, I received your email. I'm seeing which of the 3 palettes you mentioned will be best for the black and white image you sent. I expect to get back to you tomorrow (Sunday) (Well, since it's after midnight, I guess that's really today.
).

Thanks Melanie,
Yes, even the little sleep I do get is not very restorative at all. It wears you down for sure.
Yes, there are a lot of people who are denial about their [in]ability to let things go which leads to all sorts of physical and mental issues.
Hopefully, I'll be able to figure out what the cause of the migraines are so I can finally have some relief and quality sleep.
Whoops, okay! I though if it was there, it must be available. Plus, I have old eyes. :-)
thanks!

Buggg66,
Welcome!
What a cool
design! 
The first
thought that occurred to me is the font is too thin to do more than
blob up, as you can see. What the freePatternWizard isn't (at the
moment) is an editor. It looks at anything made of basic thin lines
and doesn't really know what to do with it.
The font here is actually more suitable to backstitch,
which we don't offer at this time, though it's in our
plans.
The next thing is about your image.
What file format is it in? If it's in jpg, the format will have
shades of other colors in it and extraneous characters you can't
really see just by looking at it. This will confuse the
freePatternWizard, which will take the colors it sees and "report"
them as those other colors, as in different shades of red in this
case.
The best formats to use are gif and
png, because those don't introduce extraneous colors. But you can't
go from a saved jpg to a gif, because the colors are already there
in the file.
Next, are you sending an image
that is pixel-to-stitch, e.g., 50 pixels across = 50 stitches
across? Since the freePatternWizard isn't an actual editor, if you
don't send it an image like that first, it will do its best as it
tries to expand or contract the image, but the results won't be
great.
Finally, you also need to pay
attention to thin lines here, too. If your image is set (for
example) for 50 pixels as opposed to 200, a thinner line or smaller
dot may disappear, being too thin or small for the
freePatternWizard.
The good news is that
it's not at all impossible to work with such an image; mostly, you
need to be mindful of what's going on with the various things
mentioned above for a good result.
Hope that
helps!
