Hello Everyone,

I am trying to come up with a list of new features and enhancements for the next verison of PCStitch, and I thought this would be a great place to start!

What new features would you like to see or what would you like to see work differently?

A good thing would be to be able to add circles, ovals, triangles, and other basic shapes as an overlay and then remove it when finished with it's use. It would be a great help when designing a pattern, I was trying to form a halo and it was very difficult.

There are probably a lot of DMC colors that have been discontinued, at least in some regions. What you should do is create your own palette of JUST the colors you want and skip those you know have been discontinued and any others you don't plan on ever using. You can always add colors from other lists if you need to do so.

Note -- just because some colors have been discontinued for you, doesn't mean they have are not still available in other parts of the world. Some removals are only for some regions.

Please remove DMC numbers from 3880-3899 from the program. These numbers are discontinued and it is very difficult to procure them. In fact, I have had to substitute for them in my patterns for quite some time now. Thankyou for your attention to this matter.

Hi,

I have a simple request I think. In other editing software you can use shift + scroll wheel to pan horizontally, and ctrl + scroll wheel to zoom in and out.

Is that something that could be added in a future patch?

Io trovo PcStitch quasi perfetto, tranne per una cosa: l'anteprima del lavoro tutto non reale.
Non si tratta di monitor, di colori o altro, ma di crocette disegnate proprio male, irreali graficamente.
Se correggete questo sarete al top, xche un programma cosi facile, intuitivo, pieno di funzionalitą ad un prezzo cosi buono, č difficile trovarlo

If you get a guide image that shows you how the pattern should look when completed, then you already have the means to do this with PCStitch. Are these patterns printed or a computer file? If they are printed, you can use a flatbed scanner to capture the image of the pattern. Once you have it saved, you can then take that image to use in the import feature of PCStitch. From there you choose how many colors you want until you're happy with the quality of the preview. Then you give it name, fill in some basic details in the options' menu, save it as a .PAT file, then print it as a .PDF or print the pattern on your home printer.

If it is a computer file, then you can use the included guide image to import as described above. This should solve your problem.

Take care,

It would be perfect as a program if it had a better simulation of the cross. As a designer I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks for the attention.

Two suggestions:

1. Currently when using the paint bucket it only fills with full stitches. It would be nice if it could also fill in with other stitches as well, like half stitches.

2. Currently while hovering over a color it says how many stitches. It would be nice if it say how many stitches and how many back stitches.

01) During the import phase of converting images to patterns the left hand side automatically scales the source image to fit inside the preview window. The right hand side does not. It requires us to choose the level of detail in percentages or a "fit to" option. It also requires us to tick a tiny white check box to show the preview.

It would be great if in the options settings we can tell the software to always scale the images to fit inside the preview window and to show the preview of what our import conversions will look like. As I get older that little check box is getting harder to hit. It would be great to make that larger as well as the drop-down menu options.

02) Please add basic geometric shapes for us to choose from that we can re-size, rotate, and distort as we please.

Thank you,

I didn't read through all 8 pages :) Sorry if this was suggested already, but better "stitched view" choices would be great. Like different fabric backgrounds, colors etc. that look realistic.
thanks :)

More support for half stitches. I use a lot in my patterns and right now with the darker colors the symbols show up white, which means the half stitch symbols disappear against the white background. Also the symbols for the half stitches are so tiny that they are impossible to see once printed.
