I just loaded up my program today and made a pattern of my 11 month old granddaughter. I got a pattern that I can use but can't see good enough to mark back stitching (outlining) also dont' know what to outline to make face look natural. Can anyone help me?

To see where to put the backstiching, I recommend you change the zoom factor. Zoom in a bit and enlarge the stitches.

As for where to put them, I have a couple suggestions:

* Put them where you want to emphasize the change from the face to the surrounding area.

* Put them where you want to mark shadows. This might be the eyes, nose and chin area.

* Look at an existing pattern of a face for ideas.

Thank Diane: I did find that I could do that around the hat that's in the picture but I can't get the eyes and mouth clear enough to know what to do. Is there anyone out there that has worked with this program a lot to whom I could email the pattern to and see if they can help me out?

I see 22 of you have looked at my questions....no one has any more suggestions? Am I doing something wrong that my pattern is so hard to see? Would it be better in black rather than color?
