Yesterday I stitched 480 stitches on Let Love Reign. I LOVE stitching with a pdf and using Pattern Keeper. It’s nice to know how many stitches I’ve done but for me, it’s so much easier than using a paper chart. I need to put more effort into figuring out how to convert a paper chart to a pdf that Pattern Keeper will read.
Here’s what I had done on Saturday:
Here’s where I ended last night.
I started out doing some of the leaves in the hups and decided I’d rather go ahead with just the outline of the border, make sure that all meets up before adding any detail stitching.
If I meet my goal today for A Changed World, then I’ll spend some time working on Let Love Reign and I’ll work on the side borders – probably make a couple of humps on the right side, then a couple on the left side. There are 8 humps all the same size on both the long sides. If I could make two on each side every day, I’d have both sides by Friday. Then, I could do the bottom on the weekend since I did the top this weekend . . we know that’s possible. How nice it would be to start next week with the border outline done.

Can you scan your paper patterns to your computer(s)? And does yourcomputer have the ability to “export” a document as a pdf? If so, you are in like Flynn! I know that my Mac laptop has the export capability under the tab for saving documents. Not sure about other computers but it might worth checking your system software user manual…or your in-house tech specialist Vince!

Yes, I can scan on the printer and safe as a pdf and either put it on a thumb drive or email from the printer but I’m having trouble getting Pattern Keeper to recognize the charts and colors.
