New to Stitchmate? What you can make, the four ways to start a pattern (a photo, a PDF chart, a pattern file or a blank grid), and where your patterns, palettes, motifs and threads live.

Turn a photo into a pattern in three steps: Photo (crop, straighten, erase the background), Pattern (size, threads, colors, detail, clean up), and PDF.

Change colors without breaking your pattern: swap a thread everywhere or in one area, merge look-alikes, see where a color is used, and give every color a clear symbol.

Rework every color in your pattern at once: recolor it with another palette, switch thread brands, warm or brighten it, cut it down to fewer threads, and save palettes.

Get rid of confetti, the lone single stitches that make a pattern tedious to stitch. Clean the whole pattern in one press, preview a stronger pass, protect faces and text with a mask, or brush away speckles by hand.

Paint and erase stitches with a round brush: block in shapes fast, add partial stitches, mirror your work with symmetry, scatter two colors, and draw with stylus pressure.

Mark part of your chart, then copy it, move it, fill it, erase it, or hand it to Transform to flip and rotate.

Export your cross-stitch pattern as a printable PDF: choose the paper and chart style, split the chart into pages, and set up the cover, key, and branding.

New to Stitchmate? What you can make, the four ways to start a pattern (a photo, a PDF chart, a pattern file or a blank grid), and where your patterns, palettes, motifs and threads live.

Zoom in on a few stitches, move to another corner, and get back to the whole pattern in one keystroke, with a mouse, a trackpad or your fingers.

Choose what you see while you work: colors, symbols or a realistic stitched look, plus grid, fabric, backstitch and rulers in stitches, centimeters or inches. None of it changes your PDF.

Keep the text, a border or a risky idea on its own layer, so you can move, hide or delete it without touching the rest of the pattern.

Lay your original photo or drawing over the chart while you edit, to trace outlines, check a face still reads, or compare colors. It never prints.

Every keyboard shortcut in Stitchmate, grouped by where you use it: the editor tools, canvas navigation, colors, progress tracking, the import screens, and search fields.

On the Stitchmate desktop app your patterns are files on your computer. Sign in and you can also keep a copy in your account. What "linked" means, what the badges say, and what happens when you open, upload or change a pattern in two places.

Turn a photo into a pattern in three steps: Photo (crop, straighten, erase the background), Pattern (size, threads, colors, detail, clean up), and PDF.

Read a cross stitch PDF you bought into a pattern you can track. Compare it with your PDF, fix a thread, and start stitching. Free during early access.

Change colors without breaking your pattern: swap a thread everywhere or in one area, merge look-alikes, see where a color is used, and give every color a clear symbol.

Rework every color in your pattern at once: recolor it with another palette, switch thread brands, warm or brighten it, cut it down to fewer threads, and save palettes.

One Color Style picker for image import and Apply a Palette: saved palettes, the threads you own, monochrome, duotone and art styles, or a gradient you build.

Paint and erase stitches with a round brush: block in shapes fast, add partial stitches, mirror your work with symmetry, scatter two colors, and draw with stylus pressure.

Fill a whole area of your pattern in one click: block in a background, recolor a shape, clear a region, or fill only inside a selection. One Undo puts it back.

Shade a sky, a petal or a background by blending two or more thread colors across it. Drag to set the direction, pick the shades, and Stitchmate places the stitches.

Draw frames, circles, hearts, stars and other shapes in stitches, filled or as an outline. Adjust, move and rotate a shape before it turns into stitches.

Draw straight rows of stitches for borders, sampler bands, stems and geometric designs. Adjust both ends before the line turns into stitches.

Letter a sampler, a name and date, or a short quote. Pick a pixel, smooth or backstitch font, then move, resize and restyle the text until it fits.

Mark part of your chart, then copy it, move it, fill it, erase it, or hand it to Transform to flip and rotate.

Resize, rotate, flip or warp the stitches you selected, with a preview until you press Enter. One undo puts it all back.

Get rid of confetti, the lone single stitches that make a pattern tedious to stitch. Clean the whole pattern in one press, preview a stronger pass, protect faces and text with a mask, or brush away speckles by hand.

Add crisp outlines and detail lines on top of your stitches. Draw lines and paths, place shapes, outline a color area in one click, or trace outlines from your photo, then fine-tune any line.

Which selection tool fits the job, and how to make the Brush, Fill and other tools change only the area you selected.

Will this pattern be pleasant to stitch, and what should you fix first? The FLOW score answers both, and puts a fix you can press next to each problem.

Export your cross-stitch pattern as a printable PDF: choose the paper and chart style, split the chart into pages, and set up the cover, key, and branding.

Give every pattern PDF the same look without setting it up again, and keep separate looks for your own copy and the version you sell. What a preset saves, what stays with each pattern, and how presets sync.

Mark stitches as you work, highlight one color, park threads, track backstitch per segment, and see how many evenings are left. Free, syncs across devices when signed in.
