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: Many warm golds in the fur. Stitch the dark eye, nose and collar first as anchors, then build the coat outwards from the face.

Made from a picture by Tanner Vines (CC0).
