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!

Melanie,
My machine does have a wool program, but I like to use my own settings as I don't want the machine to centrifuge my stuff to hard.. :p (That sounded so wrong on so many levels. )
:p
Hugs,

The way the freePatternWizard works is by taking your desired stitch count and then optimizing your photo or artwork to work for that stitch count. If you were to designate a row count, then undoubtedly your design would be skewed, either too elongated or too short.
If you have an image that you can't get to the right size, the suggestion I have is to add borders in a graphics program. You'll probably have to fiddle with the image until you get it to look the way you want it, but this way your design won't be skewed. Especially with something that is 225 stitches x 25 rows, that's really not a lot of rows to deal with. You may even find that you simply can't make the image short enough for only 25 rows, so you may have to rethink your choice of materials, the number of rows in your image or the image you're using to get your desired result.
Line,
Anytime, hon.
Argh! 12 flights of stairs...are they nuts?! Do they expect everyone to be perfectly able-bodied? Because that makes no sense.
Are you going to have to do that the entire semester? Hoping not!
Half of that would be a long climb...so that's absolutely ridiculous.
They need an elevator!

Gloshei,
You're not a dummy!
I'm not sure
what size A3 is. I'm guessing that's a UK or European
measurement?
If you can figure out how many
inches wide you want your finished piece to be, you can then figure
out how many beads per inch in your chosen bead type and multiply
that by the number of inches you would like for the finished piece.
I've tried to find a good indicator of how many beads per inch
there are, but I'm sorry to say nothing thus far has provided this
info. So what you could do is make a small
1x1 inch piece to determine how many beads to the inch and how many
rows to the inch. Then I would do a ratio of pixels to beads
(stitches) for the freePatternWizard to give your desired size. The
freePatternWizard will figure the correct length to keep your
pattern in proper proportion.
