Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features.

Thank you so much for responding. I hope that they add the function soon, But I use a MacBook so I'll look for graphics program.
Hi Melanie, sorry it has taken me so long getting back here. Kinda' forgot to stop by, shame on me. I will post a few pics of the beaded vulture tapestry. Since I was on last I finished the vulture part and now working on the background hoping to get it finished some time this summer. It goes slow pickinv up 310 beads, then sewing them down. Will be glad when it is,finished so I can move on to new beading adventures.
Haven't tried the pattern creator yet. Will have to find time to do that. At work right now, will get the pics on here this cycle off work.
Debbie,
No problem...I don't have any way of knowing when links are no longer available, so your mention of it helps tremendously...thanks!
I'll try to also update the
original link.
LOL! Well, maybe you could make them with...never mind, I got nothing.
Hopefully staring at them
won't be too harmful...but I must have already gained 5 pounds from
that. 
Welcome!
The key is if your photo is in digital form. If it is, just use our freePatternWizard - go to the top menu and choose "Patterns," then "Create a pattern." The different steps prompt you through what to do, in order. You start with uploading
your file, then (with crochet) decide on whether your stitch is
standard or Tunisian (and if it's Tunisian, which
stitch). Filet is not an option at this time (it's one of
our unfinished features), so don't despair that you can't select
it.
Then you can select your colors (if you plan to choose a palette, my suggestion is to use the Stitchboard Basic Palette, as you'll have fewer color options but more chances of finding those colors in yarns), size, and how you want your pattern to appear.
Hope that helps!
Meanwhile, please feel free to post pictures of any of your work so we can all drool!

Thanks for the response Melanie .
. I know what you mean, my 14ct cloth was Zweigart and it
felt really nice.
I was hoping to avoid
having to buy a new cloth, as I am both so excited to get started
and also it is such a hassle to shop during lockdown. I thought it
would likely be a few days before it would either be delivered or I
could go to pick it up.
But if it is the
best solution... It's such a big piece I want it to look as good a
possible.
Black background sounds pretty, but my
eyesight is actually already a bit.. well... crap. I really like
the idea of pale blue though. I will have to pick it up for a
future project once lockdown is lifted and I can shop like
normal.
I found a solution though. Some
googling told me that the one obvious answer might be to just go
for Aida 16 then. Smaller picture, but that I don't mind much. And
2 threads means I can still use the loop method for starting a
thread, which will come in handy in those spots the colours change
a lot.
In most guides I
found:
Aida 14 - 2-3 threads
Aida 14 - 2-3 threads
Aida
16 - 2 threads
Aida 18 - 1-2
threads.
Based on this 16 seems like a safe
bet.
I phoned through half of Tallinn (capital of Estonia) to
try to find a place that would have Aida 16 bigger than precut
15inch / 39cm ones. There was a wholesaler, but they sold
minimum 5m (15ft) at a time. They had one that was almost 4m (12ft)
that they could have sold me but thats still... so much fabric and
I have already spent a fair bit on this project. After I was ready
to give up, I phoned the wholesaler one more time and asked that if
they already have this cut up piece.. maybe they could cut one more
piece off of it and sell me 1m (3ft). And the lady said that "You
know... why not. If you are willing to drive over then yes, I will
get you that piece". So off I went, bought a big chocolate as an
additional thank you and I got my cloth! Wholesale price and
everything.
So this is now me, at the
beginning of my project.
