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!

Hi. I am trying to upload a pic for a graphgan of a white tiger worked with Tunisian crochet. However am having problems with the stitch wizard program as it will not upload my pic that is under 5mb. Any help provided will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the feedback, Melanie, I really appreciate that.
This was a 'real-lfe' example of why swatches are so important. Eventhough on the very rare occasion, it can have a good outcome. My experience has been that very few times does not swatching have a good outcome.
Swatching is absolutely crucial for designers. The swatch gives you all of the information you need up front about your pattern before you ever start crocheting or knitting the actual piece. Almost 100% of the time doing your homework by swatching at least a 5" x 5" piece will actually end up saving you far more time, energy and frusttration than if you hadn't swatched.
Again, thank you for the feedback. It is very important to me to write tutorials in such a way that people can understand them and use them to suit their own purposes.

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!
