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.

Nicky,
Welcome! Smile We're so glad you like the freePatternWizard!
Figuring the number of skeins will be different depending on how many strands you're using and what size cloth. The number of skeins could be quite different if you're using 3 strands on 11 count Aida as opposed to 1 strand on 24 count congress cloth.
I don't have a perfect answer for you, but if you want to figure out an approximation for each color (since you do get the data showing the number of stitches in each color), here's the best link I've found for figuring the numbers:

If there's a calculator out there that you think is better, please do let us know! Smile


Hi Sk8erD,
I make all my designs for cross stitch on tunisian right here on the pattern wizard. I do it in the crochet option for a couple of reasons : 1. When using a 4 weight yarn, your stitches aren't square, they are slightly taller, so using the tunisian vertical option keeps the integrity of the image.
2. I can choose the yarn brand, and the colors will be within that brand. Yarn doesn't have as many colors as floss, so the cross stitch option would be completely overwhelming.
If you are using a 3 weight (DK) yarn, the stitches will be square so you'll want to choose the tunisian square option.
Hope that helps.


Hello lovely people, FINALLYYYY finished, fingers are cramping Smile. still working out my next project, you all are so friendly and encouraging, thanks, hope you like

Thats awsome about Rom. Those Ferengi....

There are a lot of episodes I havn't seen too. I need to start watching them straight through on netflix. I just seem to have so much other stuff that occupies my time.

Spock is my favorite - I had a huge crush on him. I was very upset when Leonard Nimoy died. He was one of the very few actors I would have liked to meet. The portrayal of him in the new movies I despise, the character just isn't the old Spock that I love. Honestly Spock is the only Vulcan I have really liked with all of the Vulcans we have seen throughout the years. It has to be his half human part that just makes him the bomb Wink

It's been great talking star trek with a trekkie! I don't know many of them. Myself and my husband and a couple of coworkers.       

Hi! I've been crochetting for 5 years. Just now started getting into graphghans. Super excited to use the pattern wizard so that I can make these works of art! Instead of explaining everything I can do I'll just say everything that I have yet to learn. Tunisian crochet! No idea lol. One day. Filet crochet is another I haven't attempted. I also haven't tried c2c yet either. I'm starting to learn to knit and have picked up Knooking (knitting with a crochet hook and string). I have an etsy shop but here lately I've been doing most of my crochet for fun. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful girls which makes crochetting more fun bc I can make cute little hats and things for them. My current project is a rhombus afghan in piecing together rhombus by rhombus. You can never have too many afghans!
