Disclaimer:
Although we try our best, thread colors may not appear to be completely accurate.

Please use your best judgement in determining which colors to actually use when stitching the pattern.

Great
Love this app. When I have a question the creator answers my email quite fast. I use it for creating baskets making a pattern out of a photo. Also the freehand is good. I am quite impressed
really realky not happy
Works Pretty Well
I have tried out several cross stitch apps but they were more expensive or had a subscription which I will not have. I wish this had a trial period but it looked like what I wanted and the reviews were good. So far it is a good app but there are a couple of things I may not have found yet or it does not have. Other apps you were able to mark the stitches with a color like red. That way each stitch that was finished could be seen as done. I have not found that here. IMO this would be a very good thing to have. It would make it easier to see what has been done. Also, i don’t know if this can be done here, and I know there is a ruler at the side, but I think it would be very helpful to have a guide (+ top and bottom and side to side) that would center in the middle of the picture so you could more easily see the center. And to be able to colorize it to whatever color you wanted and make it thick or thin. If the above things can already be done I hope I can find out about them. I looked on YouTube but there were no videos on this app. It would be useful for someone to put a thorough video there showing all of the things that can be done. Thanks.
