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.

Am I alone in thinking that the colour of Delica beads as shown on the web page for a given bead are misleading? I find that if I want to see what a bead will look like when it arrives through the front door, I need to look at the sample sheet "N-2". Here, for example, is a comparison of a few beads.

I can accept that DB-262 is a Miyuki mistake, but the difference between the N-2 image (left) and the web page image (right) is, I would say, unacceptable.

Am I missing something? Do I need new glasses?

I'm aware that it is really difficult to accurate photograph beads that have special finishes, but none of the beads above have a special finish, but that's irrelecant imo. The actual beads look like they do in N-2, so whoever made the N-2 images got it right.

I think I need a lie down and to take some frog pills now. Thanks for reading,
