Karen! I left a message a day ago thanking you for your KnitCompanion video (you responded). Well, guess what? I found this video yesterday and I've purchased the Kindle, uploaded my small (20 page) chart and Pattern Keeper seamlessly made it a one page chart! The thread key! It's all there. Thank you once again! Love your videos.

Wonderful! so glad you found Pattern Keeper. so much easier than Knit Companion. if you have any questions just let me know

Yay!!! Finally!!! I have Pattern Keeper in my Kindle!! Thanks so much for the the help!!

Thank you so much Karen for taking your time and effort in your videos. You are so informative and I appreciate it so much. Thank you.

thank you very much for your tutorial. i downloaded it and followed your tutorial as you were speaking. you are right seeing the pattern thru the highlight would be very useful especially in parking and feathering

Thank you so much for this video and teaching of how to use pattern keeper your an amazing teacher and im not afraid of trying pattern keeper anymore.

Thank you so much for this video! I watched this a couple of days ago, and was immediately wanting this pdf program! It has taken me a couple of days to figure out how to make it work on my existing equipment, and a bit of trial and error, but I have finally meet with success! I have had to commandeer my husband's Samsung tab 8, and have downloaded dropbox and pattern keeper on to it, and had to start with a blank copy of my haed pattern. The biggest hurdle now that I have successfully downloaded my pattern into Pattern Keeper is that I am 20 pages into my pattern, and I'm a cross country stitcher, so marking what I have done on my project has taken a bit of time, since I have randomly gone into other pages with my stitching. I will definitely be paying for this program before the 2 week trial period has expired. Best pdf program I have used for cross stitch, no question about that.

Oh wow Karen, what a FAN-TAS-TIC video! I saw some mentions of Pattern Keeper on Insta and I got curious... This is like a stitcher's dream come true. Thank you! :-) Downloaded the trial version immediately.

Thank you for your tutorial! in the next few weeks I'm going to be starting a couple of large projects and I just got everything downloaded, now I need to play with it

Hi can you tell me how to put a mirabilia chart on to PK ? If you can do it l will buy an android tablet .

THIS! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much! My name is Diana.

After I watched your video I ordered a Kindle Fire so I can get this app. I’m so excited. This app looks awesome 😎

Excellent video! Excellent application! If the developer could make this app applicable to any pdf full coverage or not, she would have an immediate large customer base. Anyone using it will want it for all their projects. I am happy at this point that full coverage is an option. I am so happy that it is available to android devices. I am so glad to be starting out stitching a HAED with the use of this program. The combination of snaking diagonal stitching with this application has made the goal of a large full coverage piece much more attainable. As I have heard others say, they are techniques that change the game. Thanks for your time and efforts and please extend those thanks to Asa.

I enjoyed watching your video found it very useful and helped with the query I had nice one 👍

I did not know it counts only stitches left on the color, but that is amazing. I often have bobbins on rigs hanging on my lowery stand when I stitch, and like to remove colors I am done with when I get close to the end, so I have less to look through. That funksjon is so helpfull 😍😍😍 Also if you want patternkeeper i portrait mode when having the phine in landskape, that is easy, you turn of auto rotation on the phone, then it will not turn when you turn your phone 😊

Oh my, I'm watching this as I can't sleep, and be still my beating heart. I have talked hubbys ear off about what features the perfect app would have. AND SOMEONE HAS MADE IT!. I have already hacked my kindle for the app and I am saving my trial to start with a new project in 2-4 weeks. Stitch speed depending. Maybe, perhaps I'll get it later and play, after all, it would only be polite to give feedback to the developer for a new app.

Amazing tutorial. I didn't know I needed this app

Good thinking on the highlighting

Karen, this is awesome! Every time you say that I yell "yes it is" & scare my dogs. I bought the Android because my computer keep saying I had to Enable with Bios - took me 7 hrs of watching my computer & all the videos & no one did Bios. Anyway, now I have Android, I have quit vacuuming for the day & this is my highlight. I need to find where my 2 wks ended because I spent so much time on the other crap, it could be. I bought 3 or 4 pictures today but can't find them to stitch. So I will be looking right now. God Bless for you sneezes, lol!! Thank you for giving my life great meaning (& Asa)!!!

Excellent tutorial.

Thank you Karen! ❤

It is available in South Africa, I bought for ZAR144.00

I have a problem with pk it doesnt show my stitches when i finished stitching. Most get a picture of their stitching but I only get colour blocks no matter how hard I zoom in or out

Hey Karen, can I use pattern keeper if a pdf is not full coverage? I love Hands across the Sea reproduction patterns by Nicola Parkman. If I could do this I think it would be worth investing in a kindle fire. You are a brilliant teacher, thank you.

@NeedleBugg

8 ай бұрын

Hi Brenda. Yes you can that being said. Pk does not accept all PDFs so I would ask in the groups if anyone was able to load hands across the seas. I am going to assume , you are using an ipad. Have you looked at Markup R-SP. that is for ios and will allow you to load any PDF. I use both apps Markup works much like PK. I have done some videos if you want to check it out. Hope this helps

I just downloaded the app. When I hit the blue plus sign in the lower right corner, it just goes to the storage page and won't let me download a pattern. Frustrated!! I have 3 HAED projects that I would love to download... Any suggestions?? Thanks so much!!

Did I miss this, what about parking?

If I have a print copy of a HAED pattern is it possible to scan it into my computer to be saved as a PDF and then save a copy into Pattern Keeper?

@NeedleBugg

Anne Vogel unfortunately at this time it needs to be the original pdf.. scanned charts saved as pdf’s will not work

This looks wonderful. I have a surface and an I pad... I also have charts that I scan myself to put onto my surface or I pad. I hope this app will be available for my surface which is Microsoft. And that it can read scanned patterns. This would be great.

Hello, I just purchased a kindle fire solely to run PK. The guy at the store said I’d.need to connect it to a Windows computer in order to install Play Store. Did you have to do that in order to follow those KZread instructions? Also Thank you for the great tutorial

@NeedleBugg

There are tutorials on KZread as to how to put the play store on a kindle fire. There are 3 files that you will need to download and then install in a specific order. Once that is done you can download the PK app. Here is a link to a video with the instructions. It is simple to do just follow the instructions exactly.. best to pause the video until you have done the step he is explaining. You do not need a windows computer to do this. Hope this helps

Karen how do l put a mirabilia chart on to pattern keeper ? I think l will have to buy an android tablet .but l think l still would get lost trying to read my patterns .thankyou for this very useful tutorial.😍

I'd love to use this, but can't get it to work on anything, my samsung s9 phone, or kindle fire. I think I'll wait to see if the installation becomes more simplified and if it ever becomes available on ios to use on my tablet.

Hi Karen. I have just got Pattern Keeper loaded on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet. When I scroll around it seems that the graph markings are overlaid over the top of the stitch colours and move independent of one another and it leaves a rectangle shape that partially covers the adjacent symbols.
