rather than just cross-stitches marking the boundary of an area to fill with a single color, why can't backstitches do the same thing. Have backstitches serve as the 'blocking' areas for a fill. Here's another neat idea that I have kind of wanted. This can bring that back to the 'active' list. However, some special project can arise where you want a palette you don't normally use. It's slow to traverse the list to get just the palette you want at any time. Users normally only have access to a limited number of the many (well over 300) that can be listed. The usefulness of this option is readily apparent with the number of flosses and beads available now. There would need to be an option to either restore ALL palettes or selectively restore certain palettes (maybe at the same time some are disabled). How about the ability to disable but not remove palettes from the list? The files would still be there but they would not show in the list of available palettes. using the zoom tool - could the screen stay on the same part of the pattern rather than default to the top or bottom corner when changing zoom levels - and a 'map' of the area be available showing where the enlarged area is in relation to the entire design?Īfter playing with a few things I came up with what could be a very useful tool - especially for those who not only have PCStitch but have the additional palettes available from myriaCross. would it be possible to be able to compress the file size for exporting a pattern as a jpeg before exporting it (when there isn't time to sew and photo before sending an image) - current file sizes are too large for my computer to handle Some further thoughts based on the mistakes I keep making In the highlight mode it seems that a right-mouse click will remove the stitch that will help track progress. I need to play with this some more but it does seem to work. I hadn't realized the highlighting option. You find it by right-clicking on a color in the floss bar and selecting the Highlight option. I just checked and the Highlight feature is one of the 'pro' enhancements.

Is this something new? I've run the opening dialog that checks for updates and it says that I'm current.Īre you running Pro or Standard 9? The latest version is 9.01.008 (in some places it says 08 instead of 008. There is no such thing as a stupid question Everything else is 'faded' so the one color is seen clearly. You turn it on and whatever is the 'active' color, ONLY that color is shown. The current version of PCStitch has just that feature. There's not a right way or wrong way - only your way. Even with filtering all other colors, it would still be nice to paint over completed stitches with a contrasting color that would be seen with or without this filter applied. This allows me to keep track of my progress. I usually work from the computer screen and paint over completed stitches as I go with a contrasting color. Everything else other than the grid should be displayed in a contrasting background either dark or light depending on the chosen color. It would be a project aid if a filter were added that would only show a particular color from the floss palette. Hi everyone, I'm a noobie so hope that I'm in the right place.įirstly, I love PCStitch.

The create or the original file can have an option before creating to allow a user to copy out of the patern or just view it. Sorry I am posting again I wanted to correct the way I worded on of the option The idea came from the one sample of a dragon in a cup pattern, its a different file extention that lets you view and pring but not save it. Have it so the person saving can give the user the option to copy selections but not edit the orginal file. Is there a way to save the pattern files in a format that make them read only. Not sure if this exisits already but there are patern files you can not edit. 'Your imagination can take you anywhere!'

Encircle a section, choose the fill, then click it in like you do with the color fill.Ĭover page for a photo would be nice, as would a more flexible information sheet that works more like a regular document with formatting options at the page itself.Īlso would like to be able to put the pattern legend on the pattern page as well as instruction page.įinally, how about providing standard directions and diagrams on how to do cross stitch and blackwork that we can add to the pattern package?

How about making them work the same way 'specialty stitches' do? Perhaps create a folder tree for stitch types and motifs.ĭrag and drop library motifs are a pain. The 'specialty stitch' section is hard to see and even harder to organize. PCStitch User Forums - Suggestions for Next Version of PCStitch
