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: Two glowing faces on a near-black night. Stitch it on black Aida and you can skip most of the background, which cuts the work a lot.

Made from a picture by Beth Teutschmann (CC0).
