Converting a Cross Stitch Pattern to Diamond Painting Update! || I wanted to give up! What changed!?

[@Nessi0914]

In pattern keeper, you can click on the magnify/spy glass and hit the symbol on your canvas and it’ll highlight all that symbol and move the chart on the right to that DMC. You’ll then click on the highlighter to mark them off.

Pattern Keeper is definitely a life saver. I’m working on a Heaven and Earth Designs pattern. I originally used an emulator on my laptop to “emulate” the android version of Pattern keeper on my Windows laptop which I can then bring up in my iPad (I won’t go into the process - too complicated for here) but it was a process. So I, too, just broke down and got a cheap Android tablet just for Pattern Keeper. What a game changer. (And then I can still use my iPad to watch YT videos as I work on my diamond painting. Can’t wait to see you work in this. You sure are fast. Wow.

I just found your video but I wish I would’ve found it sooner. I’m a DPer and a cross stitcher. I’m glad you found PK but if you want to use your Apple device you can always try Markup R-XP. It’s really good! I look forward to seeing your progress. I’m hoping to convert a cross stitch stitch chart into a diamond painting in the near future.

Thank you for the update. It's a great learning experience to see how difficult it is to make your own dp, and follow the stitching pattern.

[@tracydannhaeuser2652]

Loving the progress! Loving the perseverance and patience that you're also having with the project. It's going to make it that much better overall! You've got this!!

Thank you for this update!! I’m excited to see the progression of her! I admire how Lisette tackles hers but that is too advanced for me! I like how Rebecca does hers but I need the iOS version first of Pattern Keeper. I’m looking forward to the next installment!!❤️

Love this project and the learning process. I converted a cross stitch pattern to a diamond painting last year. Then DAC released that same pattern as a diamond painting. 😆 I did the same thing and bought an inexpensive tablet just for pattern keeper. It is a must have! I’ve heard of some ppl using Adobe Reader and marking the pattern off as they go but it doesn’t sound as user friendly. For my next conversation I have to try Jade’s drills. She didn’t have a shop when I ordered mine. I hope you to continue to enjoy the process & find your groove. It definitely requires more brain power & can be a bit tiresome. ~ Kel

I am an android girl but honestly for the life of me I don't understand why this is not on the apple platform yet. This is very exciting! It looks great so far.

Thanks for sharing!

Omg I have the cactus one also!!! Cute choices

[@Sandrawest64]

If I ever go back to cross stitch, I'm pretty sure I'd get Pattern Keeper

[@karentaylor83]

You are doing this very well. I think you are quite brave to be taking on this project. Not something I would do but I will be here rooting for you the whole way.🙂❤

[@Jadeikens]

You are doing great!

[@hooksbookspodcast]

Lindsey - Are you still happy with your tablet? I’m looking to purchase one for my cross stitch conversion! Thank you!

[@paigesdiamonds3789]

Could you do an update video when you work on her super interested looking gorgeous 😍 please thank you

[@brendalizhernandez9245]

How is this project going??? I’ve been thinking about trying it but I would love to see you’re results first!!

[@EmeraldsandFairyLights]

I took February off from working on it, but I plan on getting more done this month!

[@ange.p-7585]

Where did you buy the blanc canvas?? Is it from HAED???

[@joeh4796]

I can’t imagine what is taking them so long to come out with the IOS version of pattern keeper!

[@sierrah2340]

It’s because there is only one person who is designing pattern keeper. It is still technically a beta app since she is still making updates and tweaking the app. Apple has more stringent requirements for apps that it may never come to Apple.

[@andreamiller3976]

Instead of hunting for the symbol from the list, I just work my way down the list on the side from the top, any that it finds it will highlight the symbol in whatever sections you have visible, you then place much quicker.

[@deniseberg1435]

All my stuff is ISO. What tablet did you get and where did you get it if you don’t mind me asking

[@EmeraldsandFairyLights]

Hi, I have a link in my description to the one I got. It has worked great so far. It isn’t a name brand so I’m not sure what to call it 🤣 it’s a little more expensive than when I bought it, but it was the holiday time so it might have been on sale.

[@deniseberg1435]

Okay thank you so much for your help

[@sheriwillingham6875]
