Need GobelinMaker Software

Post by andreealascar »

Hello everyone,

I need major help. I am trying to find and download GobelinMaker, a picture to pattern software. I used it a couple of years a ago to create a series of patterns for a big project, but i seem to have lost the generated patterns and color coding. It looks like the software does not exist anymore for downloading so I'm begging pls for alittle help. If anyone is familiar with this software and you have access to it, it would help a great deal.

Thank you :)

I can't help you with that particular software, but will another free picture-to-pattern software satisfy your requirements?

What kind of threads will you use in your project? Wool or cotton?

Yes. This is the software, but the download option is invalid.

Oh darn. Sorry. I was encouraged when I saw it was open source.

You can use Richard's program:
http://www.chestnutpens.co.uk/misc/index.html" target="_blank

It does a far better job converting images to cross-stitch than any commercial software I've used. If you've already started a project that was converted with the original software, though, it'll be tough to make a conversion in another program and have it match up as far as colors go. If you don't want to start over, it might be worth tinkering with it, idk.

Thank you sooo very much Allyn! I'll start workng on it and see what I come up with. If i come to the conclusion that starting from scratch is the way to go then I'll have to burn the old and start with the new. Either way at least my project will be in motion. :)

A more direct link to the program Allyn suggested is: http://www.chestnutpens.co.uk/misc/crossstitchplan.html. That is the link to the page showing the 'advertising' about the program. It is constantly updated as I add/correct things. I think the main part of the program is pretty unlikely to change significantly now, just me adding features as/when inspiration strikes or people suggest something I like the idea of.

If you try it & think of something you'd like done better or a different way, please say so. The program has only got to its current state because of people's input.

Regards,

Richard.
