Cross Stitch Pattern Maker

Description

Cross stitch pattern software usually means a £40 desktop program from 2009 or a monthly subscription. Cross Stitch Pattern Maker runs in your browser: choose a picture, pick how many stitches wide and how many colours, and it turns it into a chart using real DMC thread numbers.

Tidy up the result with the pencil, swap any thread for another DMC shade, then save a printable PDF pattern: a cover picture, the chart split into numbered pages with a bold line every 10 stitches and centre arrows, and a thread key with how many skeins to buy. Perfect for stitching your own photos or selling patterns on Etsy.

Try it free in your browser first. Making and editing the chart is free; buying unlocks saving the PDF, chart picture and thread list.

What it does

• Turns photos, drawings and logos into cross stitch charts
• Matches every colour to a real DMC stranded cotton number
• Set the width in stitches, the fabric count (11 to 18 count Aida, evenweave and linen) and the most colours to use
• Tidies away single stitches so the pattern is easier to stitch
• Leave a white background unstitched, or blend colours for photos
• Paint or erase stitches and swap any thread for another DMC shade
• Shows the finished size and how big to cut your fabric
• PDF pattern with cover, numbered chart pages, centre arrows and a thread key with skein counts
• Also saves the chart as a picture and the thread list as a spreadsheet
