Restoring things
May 11, 2026 at 3:23:07 AM
 
Hello.  Not really great news but we're plugging along...

So after the international hack on over 1.5 million websites and thousands of servers worldwide, we're finally bringing things back up.  Since our main backups were also affected it really caused more difficulties but we're working with backups from several months ago.

We have completely restored the freePatternWizard paid Premium subscription database.  We have also restored data for hundreds of thousands of members.

We lost part of the main member database and have added a program that will connect the freePatternWizard paid subscription database with the main one.

Basically anyone who joined the Stitchboard website after 3-19-25 will need to go to this page one time.  There you'll enter your username and the PayPal email address you used to subscribe to the freePatternWizard Premium service.  After that you'll enter a new password and you'll be done.  Again this will only need to be done once.

We appologize for this extra step but this is the most secure way of doing the process.
