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!

Hola, recien me inicio en este tema del telar de cuatro cuadros. quisiera saber como se dibuja una guarda vertical en el patrón. Si me pueden ayudar se los agradeceré.
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site, I just signed up about 10 minutes ago. I have been doing fractional cross stitches for many years and i'm sorry but I must disagree that they are difficult. I have no problem doing them, if anyone wants help with figuring them out perhaps i can give some advice.

De'Andrea,
I know what you mean about framing! It's soooooooooooo tedious. It's not creative, as you noticed, it's just...ugh. Dull. Not fun. And trying to get all of the stretching done right and the sides all straight, shudder. NO thanks.
I'd rather be counting blades of grass.
I also framed mostly smaller things. But I'm loving your fringing idea and the "frame" stitched around it.
And who can't get a small branch, twig,
whatever? Best of all, they're free! (This appeals to my cheapness.
)
Wow, I'm so excited for you! That's great about the threads and
loving the idea of that frame. What a find!
What gorgeous designs! I love southwestern anything. The
colors and symbols are incredible, and you've done such a beautiful
job designing!
I love peyote, but have also worked in square stitch (I've never loomed). Not sure I'd ever loom beyond learning (love to learn and am a technique junkie, so that part appeals!), only because I also love how secure square stitch is. When I've taught square stitch in the past, I'd always end the demonstration by cutting the work apart...and it still didn't fall apart! For some reason, people love that particular visual.
The star is stunning! And I love the name Walks In Spirit.
Beautiful!
If you ever need any help in creating PDFs, I'd be happy to do that.
Thanks, I'd love the patterns! I can send you an email in the next few
days (and if I don't, please hit me over the head a few times so I
remember, LOL!). I would normally write immediately, but ugh, the
next few days are beastly. As were the previous few, LOL.
Is that a teardrop bead in the center of Walks In Spirit? Whatever it is, it's so perfect...the color, how it glows...the whole piece is beautiful and the bead in the center makes it pop!
Kathy,
I do have a comment and 2 questions.
First, I always suggest using a pre-sized image that ideally is the number of pixels across that matches the desired number of stitches across. Sending an image that's 4000 pixels across and having the program reduce it to a much smaller figure will certainly introduce unwanted colors. This is just a byproduct of re-sizing. So if you want your pattern to be 300 stitches across, ideally re-size your image to 300 pixels across before sending it to the PatternWizard. This also allows you to be sure the image you send is as clean as possible.
One question is whether you're manually selecting the desired colors. The update I'll be turning on soon corrects a problem relating to manual colors.
My other question is what type of image are you sending to the program? (.jpg, .gif, etc.)
