Using Kooler Design PDF Download Charts with Pattern Keeper

Many Kooler Design Studio PDF Download Charts work with Pattern Keeper as provided, however for some charts adjustments may be necessary:

1. In order to complete PDF import, you may need to input thread numbers. 1/4 stitches will show as 2 symbols in one box. It may be helpful to enter both numbers (example: Blanc-725). The program only recognizes one of the symbols so you will have to use the chart to stitch the second symbol.
2. Pattern Keeper was designed for tracking only full X's so you will need to use the PDF file for 1/4, 1/2, French knots, petite stitch, specialty stitches, backstitching and straight stitches.
3. In some cases, PDF's that include alphabets or numerical chart pages may need to be separated from PDF in order fix grid problems. This is most common with stockings. Please contact us at info@koolerdesign.com if you have additional questions.

Pattern Keeper may be adding features in the future that will handle these issues. Please contact them for more information.
