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

Veronica,

As I always tell people, try to use a photo with the same number of pixels across as you want stitches across.  By doing this, the program will not make any changes by dropping pixels so basically, "what you see is what you get" — meaning your pattern should come out looking the same as your photo.

I also had another thought that sometimes improves the quality of your pattern and "averages" out the pixels a bit and maybe would help with your pixelation.  You may want to try checking the "Antialias on" box in section 8.  This smooths out some areas.  It's hard to explain but you may just want to try it to see if your pattern looks better.

Let me know if I can help further!

Terry

Hi,

There are many variables so I'm not sure what's causing this.

For example, if your image is large and you're creating a small pattern, you'll lose a lot of stitches.

If you would like to post an image you're having problems with, I can make some suggestions.  Or if you'd like to keep your image private, let me know and you could email a copy of your image and I'll take a look at it.

Also, please let me know what type of pattern you're creating (beading, crochet, etc.).

Terry

#CarryOnThereIsNothingToSeeHere 



I have many many beads i will never use. these are the type u would see at walmart, they are inconsistent in size however great for loom, crochet, and many many more things. i want to sell as many as i can cheap....

I also have items such as pendants, jumprinhs, wire guards swaroski crystals and many 50 gram packs of miyuki fish tank mix.
I ordered several items to get a lower price and a friend was supposed to buy over 1/2 of it when it came (oops have not spoken to her since, she flaked on me) so there is nothing wrong with any of these items!!!
