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: The yellow café wall is one big glowing area and quick to fill. Stitch the stars and the dark doorways first, so the blue sky and yellow wall can be filled around them.
