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!

That sounds like a nice cake. I will be sure to post them individually. And I will color everything: frosting, cake, liner, and somehow I will have to make those decorations! Well, now I must start June!
Haha yes! I have three overflowing folders of them that weigh around five pounds each. I promise you that I am not exaggerating! I agree that it is hard at first but soon come naturally. My best cross-stitch friend, who I introduced to cross stitch, figured it out before I did-just by reading instructions! Thank you for your kind post.
Hi, Calipage, and thanks for subscribing to the freePatternWizard.
Yes this has probably been resolved. Could you please let me know what stitch you're using in beading (peyote, brick...)? Brick and Peyote have some intermittent color issues that will be corrected in the version coming soon.
I also could make this upcoming version available to you to see if this is a bug that's been fixed. Let me know if you want to try this.
If you're getting only black and white, I'm wondering if the problem is something else other than a program bug. If you'd be willing, I would also be interested in getting a copy of the image you're using as well as the colors you're choosing so I can try it here. If I duplicate the problem, I can either let you know settings I use to get it working, test it in the next version myself, or if it's a program bug, fix it right away.
So please let me know if you'd be willing to email me an image with which you're having problems. I'll try to work with you.

Laura,
Terrific! So glad to be of help!
Please do let me know. We're always trying to figure out ways of making the software better, more helpful and accurate. So if you have any ideas or
suggestions, we always want to hear them!

I had the same problem with black linen! I was so
thrilled with not having to make fractional stitches because I was
using linen, then discovered how hard it was to see the stitches.
I never finished the
project.
I never finished the
project.Things that were suggested to me at
the time were to use something light on my work surface (LOL,
mostly my lap) and another way is to light up a work surface (such
as a light showing on the lighter colored item on your work
surface). You can also try a bright work light shining on the
fabric itself, something with a bulb made for closeup work. A
magnifier could help, too. (I did not have more than the fabric to
put on my lap back then.)
Some of the
solutions aren't easy and some can be pricey (like a really good
closeup work light), but they do tend to help. 
The advantage is
that if you can work it out, anything stitched on black fabric
looks soooo stunning! I had finished other black fabric items
back when my eyes were far better and seeing on black didn't drive
me nuts.
