I have 2 questions 1) Is there a way when maiming an alpha pattern from a picture file to make the picture smaller and more of them instead of one big one ex. I have a pixel of a guitar and if I put into the alpha created it will make one big guitar on the whole bracelet. Is there a way to make multiple repeating smaller ones or would I have to have a picture of that to begin with.( hope this makes sense🙈)2) Is there a way to turn a normal bracelet pattern into an alpha pattern? |

1) if you have the pattern of one small guitar, you can just copy the knot structure in "knots" on the "alpha" page of the generator and paste it under what you have already got there. You can also copy and paste the individual rows, if you want to continue the pattern horizontally.2) since both normals and alphas have a grid structure, you could copy any normal as an alpha, but it would be kind of angled. |

Great that helps, thankyou so much. Is there any way of making the images smaller so I can fit more on the bracelet than a few or is that up to the picture file size? Ex. If I copy and paste the guitars I can get a couple on but it makes a huge bracelet and not many will fit on the length of a wrist so I was just wondering if I could shrink the guitar image somehow? Sorry I’m brand new to this.😊😋

When using "alpha from image" you can pick the maximum width and height of the pattern. The image size itself makes no difference.

Thankyou so much these tips have been so helpful. Can I ask one final question 🙏🏻🤪 Can I add extra rows in the pattern. Ie. The generator put the guitars back to back and I’d like to add rows between them. Is there and easy way to do this. I know I can add them on the sides or at top or bottom of the bracelet but what about within. Again Thankyou sooo much for your time and helping me.

You could theoretically add them in "knots" in "alpha" but that's a lot of effortI recommend adding them in "draw alpha" before duplicating the guitar. |

How long does it take for my pattern to be available to use after I post it? I accidentally posted it but I wanted to use it and I can no longer access it from my profile. Please help!
