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: Three leaves, each stitched on its own, so you can stop after one. Together they make a quick autumn bookmark or Thanksgiving card.
