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.

Can we convert a picture to a pattern and then later on sell it here.

Melissa,
Welcome! Smile Please let us know what assistance you need.


Welcome! Smile

Yes, you're correct, that's a single crochet stitch. We'll be offering C2C in the future, but we don't offer it at this time. Smile We only called the stitch "standard" instead of single crochet because in the UK a single crochet is called a double crochet. So to reduce confusion, we called it "standard."

This is driving me mad.


Often when I'm making cross stitch patterns with text in them, the black lines of the text, no matter how clear and sharp, often come out as light grey, green, or are even absent entirely.  



I'm aware of the issues with JPGs so have tried both GIFs and PNGs with no improvement.  I tried limiting the colours of the image which really has only 5, flat colours to begin with - but this only seems to worsen the problem.  Tips?

Hi,

I've been reading through this thread and I am interested in what the outcome was for Portia. Were you able to come to a satisfactory answer for your pattern? I've been having a similar issue with my first time attempt at making a pattern from a photo, although mine is colour, not black and white.

I'm not asking for assistance (yet!), I'd just like to know if someone else who has a similar issue has got the solution, so that I know it will indeed work.

Congratulations on what seems to be an extremely powerful piece of software, and thank you for making it available for free.

Kind Regards,

Sharon
