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.
To read a particular post, simply click on it!
Hello! I just joined and am looking forward to the info and other features here. I have been cross stitching for years but never tried to make my own patter, so I am excited to try that!
Hello, I am making a loki helmet graphgan for my daughter. Its a simply 2 color design. I chose Caron One Pound as my yarn choice. This is what it will look like...

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.
A search only brings up retailers who sell
Miyuki, but not the entire catalog.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!

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

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.

That said, I've searched for free patterns recently, and there are still plenty available.
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.
