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: Save the face and hands for your best light: they are soft, close skin tones. The dark dress and the green-brown landscape behind her are good for evenings in front of the TV.

Made from a picture by Leonardo da Vinci (public domain).
