I am looking to make a Christmas Stocking for my husband, however I am VERY new to this program and am not sure how to change the chart to be like a stocking.

Any thoughts, ideas, or places to go for help are greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks

Hi, I have made several stockings from patterns that weren't originally stocking patterns. I have a stocking shape that I really like, so I saved its outline in PCStitch. Whenever I want to make a new pattern into a stocking, I open that outline in PC Stitch and save it as my new pattern before I make any changes (so that I still have my outline. Then I can either cut and paste pieces of the other pattern into my new pattern and move them around until they fit like I want them to, or I will hand draw the parts I want to incorporate in (if for example I am trying to convert a printed pattern into a stocking.)

Hi - I am very new to this program and I too am trying to do a Christmas stocking. How do you get the outline into the program?
Thank you.

To put the outline in, just use backstitch. You just "interpret" it as the border, not something to be stitched.
