Want to fix a few stitches?

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

A good first project: a few colors and whole stitches only. Free to stitch for yourself, as a gift, or to sell the finished piece.

Stitching tip: The little rose on the lid uses three colors in a handful of stitches. Stitch it first with short threads, then fill the brown around it.
