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!
Hi,
Until the new version is made available there are a few things you can do to help. You can try one or more of the following:
- Try to use a .GIF image with limited colors. .JPG images are compressed and cause a lot of stray pixels.
- In Section 8, turn on Stray Pixel Cleanup by checking the box and select "light", "medium", or "heavy"
- In Section 8, try turning "Color Sensitivity" up to a higher number
- In Section 5b, select the colors you want to use
- In Section 5c, give it a number of colors to use
A long-awaited version is coming that will allow final editing of the pattern before printing it out. I'm not sure yet when it'll go live but I'm working through a few more issues with it.
Let me know if this helps or not.
Terry
Thank you for the email. Terry and for letting me know you received mine in good order.
I am able to input any image and the PatternWizard works excellent except when I choose my own colors. That's when I get the black and white result.
Thank you again for attempting to resolve my issue and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Sharlene
Hello and thanks for the rapid reply! (Melanie)?
So, if I'm pulling 2 plies of thread it's 2 ply, right, gottit!
I was using 2 plies of thread doubled over, but thinking that was still 2 ply because I was only using 2 pieces. That explains why my stitching was "tight" using 14 AIDA material!
Consequently, with the next project I used 3 ply "not so tight" but I had a lot of problems pulling the needle off the thread inadvertently. I must admit to using a knot when starting to stitch but that didn't seem to cause any unsightly lumps, is that a "NO - NO"?
What do you recommend using 14 AIDA and DMC cotton, 2 ply (and no knots)?
Which size needle should I be using? I only have one and I don't know what it is.
regards Dave
Hi. Newbie here. Is there a way to download a word chart for a picture that I am beading (Peyote stitch)?
Also having a hard time downloading pictures. Practice, practice. Thank you!
