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?

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. |

Please make the old toolbars remember their customizations, instead of having to do it every time I open pc stitch 11. Thanks. |

I made a post questioning why I couldn't save on our in home server. See post for full details. yet, I could save to my computer or laptop just fine. I could "file save as" as much as I wanted (thus having me save file.version1, file.version2, file.version3 etc.)
The ctrl+s function was moot.
Maybe next round of updates...
It's just more annoying than anything. any other program can save to the server just fine. but PC stitch keeps adding the destination address when I save. For now, i may just keep doing version 1, 2, 3 etc. Or saving to my desktop and then moving the file manually when I am done.
Thanks!
Add: Maybe a way to keep the print window open until we hit the close X or cancel. Often times, designers need to print multiple versions...whether that is print to printer or print to PDF. It would just be easier and faster if the print window stayed open until we are done saving/printing all we need to print...rather than having to open the print window again

I'm not sure what you're talking about. You can add specialty stitches and define your own. Could you give more details as to what you want?

There is no such thing as a stupid question

8 pages...I know I should read it all before making suggestions...so I'll just apologize if these suggestions have been made before
-tools similar to MS paint. Line tool, square tool, circle tool, that squiggly ~ line tool, etc. It would just make some aspects of pattern making a bit easier. especially the circles and squiggles. I mean, one could go to MS paint, make your shapes, take a screen shot of them, underlay them in PC stitch, copy them pixel by pixel...but you can see how that is just too many extra steps.
-an option to select an area, then right click and "change color/change mark/change line style". I also use KG CHART (it's what I started out with)...and they have that option and it is insanely useful for when I did a section, only to realize it was the wrong color.
-back stitching having it's own layer. That is another useful feature that KG chart has that I wish PC stitch had. Sometimes, I JUST want to erase or edit only the back stitching...
-Mock ups? I mean, the export feature is great...i just wish it also showed actual cloth behind it the way win stitch does. Or in a frame/hoop. Not the end of the world, I know work arounds sure...but It would just be nice to have one less step to do before I list things on etsy
Other than that, I REALLY enjoy the program. I make patterns much faster in PC stitch than I did with KG chart
Thanks!

I want to open my palette and make changes to the symbols with out opening a pattern. When I open a pattern it shows 250 out of 413 colors. I have already entered all my symbols for the colors I have in a palette. |

Hello,
I've been using PCStitch for longer than I care to admit (version 1) I love it. I wonder if there are plans to make an android or tablet version of the reader. I don't mind using the PC to make and print out my designs, but it would be lovely to be able to read them off a tablet in my favorite stitching chair.
A reader that would work on my phone or tablet, that I could highlight colors as I needed and magnify would be awesome.
Thanks,
Lorrieann
Peace,
