Um, has anyone ever bothered manually converting a decently large paper pattern into digital?

Was it worth the time you saved during actual stitching?

Because it seemed like a really good idea to give myself a Pattern Keeper version of Errol, but this much took me half an hour, so maybe not...

@Drachin @thegiddystitcher @lemmy_stitch My current project is 86*346 crosses. Making the template in Pattern Keeper was worth it, it works much better. It has already saved me more time than it took to convert. (I'm only 22% done)

@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Thank you! Mine is significantly smaller, but still big enough to be a pain in paper form, so sounds like I was on the right track all along.

Hmm... Sounds like the sort of thing a super cool YouTuber might make a video tutorial about...

@MrJameGumb Sounds like something a super cool YouTuber might already have given up on, more like ๐Ÿ˜›

It was worth a shot lol I've done a couple of patterns that were on paper, I ended up just taking a picture of them on my tablet and working from that
