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 bird is small in the middle of the lavender. Stitch it first, then the purple flowers, and the blurred green and purple background last.
