Want to fix a few stitches?

Draw, erase and fill single stitches, swap or merge colors, clean up strays, and check against your photo.

For when you have a few projects behind you: many colors and soft shading, made from a picture. Free to stitch for yourself, as a gift, or to sell the finished piece.

Stitching tip: A calm turquoise sky fills most of the chart, with the branches and blossoms on top. Stitch the dark branches first as a frame, then the blossoms, and the sky last.

Made from a picture by Vincent van Gogh (public domain).
