I hope you enjoy the video and seeing how I’ve come to where I’m at today in my design journey. The major reason for me is the convenience of being able to work out a stitch chart in an easy-to-use program and print it in a clean format ready. Below the video is a list of links of articles and such I discuss in the video, they’re the same ones that are in the video’s description on YouTube. There are lots of reasons to own a software program that can help you create or design charted images for counted cross stitch or any other counted technique. In the next video I’ll film instructions about how to use some of the features of MacStitch (well, the ones I consistently use anyway, some I haven’t used at all). Import photos (or clip art ) and convert them to cross stitch at a size you specify, while setting a maximum number of shades. Design from scratch using a range of drawing tools, using finger or Apple Pencil. That’s when I switched to using the MacStitch software I’ve written about before ( here and here), and the results have been great.Īs I said in the video, I’m not getting anything from Ursa Software (the makers of MacStitch and WinStitch) by talking about the software, I’ve just found it really useful so I know others will as well. MobiStitch is a great iPad cross stitch creation software from the people that brought you MacStitch and WinStitch. That was an interesting learning experience, and it spurred me to get more into the craft and find a better way to design the patterns from my art. In the video you’ll see that I did my first pattern ever by hand (which took forever but was well worth the effort). So far I’ve done four patterns on my own – three smaller pieces and I’m currently working on my big Michelangelo piece. This week I found out that more people than I realized were viewing and subscribing to my YouTube cross stitch instructional videos, which is great! As a result, I thought I’d make a video of how I started designing my cross stitch patterns using my artwork. (To install: unzip, and place the quaker folder in your motifs folder.
