I copied a scanned pattern into One Note.  It does a nice job of enlarging the pattern.  It stays  ...

Thanks.  I didnt realize you could do that with One Note; now I have something new to play with:)

Thank you, thank you for such helpful information; the newbies truly thank you.  I have a question ...

To be honest Ive never tried to upload to a tablet. I always just use my cheap printer and make paper copies so I can mark off where Ive stitched. I would imagine that they would open on a tablet just like on a puter if you have the PM4 program on the tablet. You might want to go to the Pattern Maker website and check that out. Someone posted once that there is an option to turn the patten to jpegs FROM the PM4 itself, so that may be an option though I have not done that either. I just like my paper copies so have never looked into it. :)

This is the first post, with pictures:

Im not 100% sure what you mean, but if you have a pattern that has black symbols, like this:


and you want it to be symbols with colour, like this:



Pattern Maker has a feature that takes care of that for you.


If thats not what you mean, please clarify :-)

And this is the second post:

I have the full version of Pattern Maker, and therefore do not have the PM Viewer. I do not know if that feature is available in the Pattern Maker Viewer (I think it is), but you can check by doing as follows:

First, double click somewhere on the palette at the bottom:



You should get a number of options when youve double clicked, choose the tab that says Symbol format, and check the box next to where it says Allow color behind symbols:

Hi,

I downloaded the pattern maker from the link you provided.  The second half downloaded perfectly.  However, when I try to open the first half I get an error message saying that the file can not be opened because it is damaged.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I went ahead and downloaded this new version. For me it was the 2nd part that gave me a problem message. I put them in the same folder and just went ahead and tried to install it. It installed perfectly. The simplest thing to do would be to delete both parts and any folders that were created from them. Then go back and re-download both parts again. It wont cost you any coins at all. Open the first file. If it works right and creates a folder, go back and open the second but when the box pops up and says it sending to a folder, click on the arrow at the side of that box and click on the first folders name. It will then go into the same folder as the first one. Then open that folder and double click on the title in the list that says application. Hope this helps you and anyone who needs help with it. :) Let us know how it goes.

I would like to also know how to import patterns into the software to get a repaint copy.

You can use your tablet for cross stitching but I only have been able to do this with a pdf copy. I use a repaint version and save it as a pdf. I then open Adobe and import the pattern into Adobe. Save the original copy and now you can start with the copy you made. Use the marker to mark the stitches you have done and save as you work.
