Overview
lets you create patterns for cross stitch, tapestry, rug making, and knitting.
In depth
The patterns it creates let you see what the stitched design will look like. The program does not only use colored squares or symbols in a grid but actually lets you design in crosses or tapestry-style stitches on a realistic background. You can choose from aida, evenweave (linen), tapestry canvas, rug making canvas, plastic canvas, grid, or plain background in a variety of colours.
Special tools let you type in text and have it converted to stitches, fill irregular shaped areas, easily swap colours, re-use parts of one design in another, move parts of the design over the top of other stitches and then move them away again, resize areas, assign symbols, and more.
