site news and information

Hi, All

First, for anyone having any problems bringing up the freePatternWizard pattern creation software by using the top drop-down menu, feel free to Take This Link


Our showcase has been updated. If you've previously uploaded a showcase in the past, please check to see if it's been posted; meanwhile, if you want to submit one (or another one, if you've already posted before), feel free to do so!


Also note we now have an additional (optional) assembly page for the freePatternWizard. This is for larger pieces that have multiple pages. Much smaller patterns won't need this.


To freePatternWizard paid Premium subscribers having problems logging in:

If you're logged into your Stitchboard account (shows "Hi, name" in the upper right corner of each page), you can ignore the rest of this message.

If you're not logged into your Stitchboard account and you are a freePatternWizard paid Premium subscriber, please take this link one time to verify your subscription(s). It will also ask you to change your password. Again, you only need to do this once.

If you are not a paid Premium subscriber and are having problems logging in, try logging into the Stitchboard website. If you see an "Invalid login username or password" message, you may need to re-register at this link or by clicking the "Register" link at the top of the page. If you try re-registering and get a "duplicate email address" message, you'll need to go through the "password change" function by using this link.

Marie,
Welcome! Smile
I don't know which sellers online sell all Miyuki colors...the ones I know of sell only some colors. This doesn't mean nobody has the comprehensive catalog, it's only that I don't know in particular who sells all colors.
I apologize that my answer is extremely unhelpful. Frown Should you find a retailer who does carry the entire catalog, can you please let us know? I'll keep looking, but am not sure how to find one. In my searches now and in the past I've tried specifically to find retailers who carry the entire line, but that proved to be fruitless. Frown A search only brings up retailers who sell Miyuki, but not the entire catalog.
It would sure be helpful to find a retailer with a complete Miyuki line! (I've also had the same bad experience with Toho; there have been some beads I simply couldn't locate because I never found anyone who sold the entire line of those, either.)


Hi Terry,
Not sure how that happened sorry. I didn't post a msg at all. Lol.
Ok I'm about to try your suggestions. I am already using the antialias each time and have upped the brightness and contrast to 5 but will try 10 now.
Thanks
Lou 

Beloved (what a great name!),

Welcome!  Smile

Are you looking for ready-made patterns, or are you looking to make your own?  Smile

If you're looking for free patterns, my suggestion is to Google something that's of interest to you, along with the words "cross stitch" and "free."  There's no one great source of free patterns...the one I used to use is no longer updated, hasn't been for years, and the majority of the links don't bring up anything close to patterns.  Cry

That said, I've searched for free patterns recently, and there are still plenty available.  Smile  It may take a little bit to find certain things, but they can be found!

A source that isn't free, though is usually pretty nice, is if you can look at some cross stitch magazines.  Since I first started cross stitching, the cross stitch magazine field has exploded!  There are all kinds of magazines with terrific patterns.  There are many long-term projects, or you can use them for quick projects, too.  Not having a lot of time, I used to love the smaller projects!  It's not instant gratification (LOL, what part of cross stitch ever is?), but it's pretty close.  Smile
