I did try and clean up the image.... this is what I was working off of. When i reduced it in KG is when it looked that way.... HELP!?!?!

I'm in the same boat as gamerwolff. I can't get my image any cleaner. I signed up thinking my pattern was good, but then when I looked at it on my computer rather than my netbook, it seems the smaller screen gave me false beauty lol.

Could someone help me, too, please -__- :help:

Post your picture/pattern, rockinwithrammstein and I'm sure someone can help. Sadly, I can only really do 8- or 16-bit patterns. Still working on the more difficult ones as well as cleaning up an image. :-/

Hey all! I did get lots of great help from Lileya with my Alleyway square, she even got a screenshot for me;

The only thing is the pattern she made for me has to be cropped down, so will only show the Mario bit;

I wondered if that was still ok? I'm a bit worried that it won't be as recognisable. I'm happy with it myself and would love to stitch it, however If anyone could wiggle the pattern a bit more so it doesn't need to be cropped so much that would also be good, and probably better for the quilt. :)

This is the picture that I had made a pattern for. On my netbook it looked WAY better, then...on the computer... :sorry:

Anyway, here it is:

Maybe this has already been answered, but 96 stitches on my fabric is 1/16" too big going up and down. (Side to side is 6" exactly). Can I still use it? Otherwise I will have to drop out this year as I can't afford any more fabric. :(

I'm also not terribly impressed with this brand. I've never used Loops and Threads before but it feels a lot coarser than the stuff I usually get.

I wouldn't worry about 1/16", it's not enough to be a problem I think. The size may change when the piece is washed and ironed and whatnot anyway. :)

If you're not liking your pattern, I made one up using the same picture. I can upload it if you want to compare it with yours. Just let me know.
