THE WORKSHOP
Draw your own cross-stitch chart
Start on a blank canvas or customize a sample with full crosses, half stitches and backstitch.
Pick a grid for your project
A bookmark needs a tall chart, while a hoop suits a centered square motif. The editor shows the finished measurements as you change the Aida count.
Work one color at a time
Use the needle to place stitches, the fill tool for connected areas and the eyedropper to reuse a thread. Add half stitches along diagonals and outline details with backstitch.
Check the printable symbols
Use the chart view to check that colors are distinct and to see corner stitches outside the hoop’s crop. The PDF includes one symbol per thread and heavier lines every ten stitches.
