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!

Okay, So here it is:
Lace: 4" = 15 blocks/ 4 blocks per 1 inch.
Cotton Thread: 4" = 11 blocks/2 per 1"
■ Lace Scarf 12" wide total, but 2 inches is side trim.
■ Curtain 30-1/2" wide with 2" off for trim.
I played with a rose image for the scarf and it destroyed the image. So Im not sure what Im to do now.
Hello! I need help
I'm
trying to make a repeated pattern for a curtain. I have
found where an Admin answered (for the size of stitches is the size
of pixels) so I shrunk the design, multipule times, and even added
smaller images to the paper (what would be a standard size print of
paper) I shrunk the size to 75, but it still is printing
out too large with 4 pages to over 100 pages... my window is much
smaller. LOL
I have a Queen Anne home with tall windows, if I was to use a standard piece of printing paper, my window is a bit over two sheets widith.
Swaldor,
Welcome!
The freePatternWizard currently doesn't allow any settings for number of rows in the pattern, only the number of stitches across. The reason for that is if you were able to set the number of rows as you wish, your pattern would most likely turn out skewed, and those results would be undesirable.
One solution would be, as you mentioned, adding solid colors. Ultimately, we'll be offering functions that will allow more flexibility for setting pattern rows, as well as stitches across, but for now, the best way to remedy a pattern that isn't long enough is to do something along the lines of adding solid colors.
Hope that helps!

The
image below I'm trying to get 2-3 to fill it's space as a printed
graph, so that I can have multipules. Or even at least
two instead of one huge centered piece.
Something. I'm at my wits end with this. I
looked, and I cannot find any dumbed down instructions on how to do
things. Is someone be able to help me
with this?
I'm using a #1 Super Fine crochet thread Aunt Lydias Fashion 3 size (I'm not sure why the different numbers, but there are three threads in the yarn) with a 1.90 MM crochet hook.
I purchased the filet and 500 stitch count on the premier options, but I fear that I'm not able to use them now.
Thank you for any and all help! BREAK OUT THE CRAYONS!!! LOL
**** IMAGES BELOW ARE JUST SHOWING YOU WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO GET A SMALLER SIZED OF IMAGES, BUT IN MULTIPLE FORMAT FOR A CURTAIN GRAPH****

LOL, that's what I was thinking when I said a scarf can
never be too long...Doctor Who! 
That scarf looks like so much fun.
And as much as authentic is nice, I think it would be more fun in
one's choice of colors. The Doctor Who scarf is one of a kind...why
not make another one of a kind, rather than trying to duplicate?
Your scarf is going to be
awesome! That scarf looks like so much fun.

Midnightbleu,
Welcome!
Glad to hear
you like the detail the freePatternWizard produces!
Outlining is a feature that will be added in the future.
As of now, if you're just creating your own patterns for your own
use, perhaps it would be best to look at the work and figure out
where to add some outlines. I know it's an inexact science, but
it's the best way I can think of, until we have an outline function
available.
If you're
talking about downloading your finished patterns, at this time
there's no storage of patterns on your account...that's also a
feature that will be offered at a later date. For now, the only
thing to do is download it to your computer. You can also choose
the email option, where you can store patterns in your email. Most
providers allow you to keep emails indefinitely and many also allow
up to X amount of megs or gigs of storage. For example, I believe
Google currently offers 15G for a user account.
Oh, discontinued patterns...my nemesis! 
I hear you about those. I used to have
the most beautiful dragon booklet, but lost it to flood waters and
have been unable to find anything close.
I hear you about those. I used to have

have been unable to find anything close. What I would say
is if you think you know the manufacturer, perhaps call them and
see if they can find the right pattern book...they may be able to
sell it to you directly, or at least let you know more info about
it, should it be out of print. (I'd do the same, but have no memory
of who published my dragon booklet, only that it was from at least
20 years ago...needle in a haystack. )
)I would guess
manufacturers would like to at least help you to get info so you
can look on Amazon or eBay for discontinued patterns.
I don't know of anyone who actively sells a lot of old
patterns, but wouldn't be surprised to find there is someone like
that!
