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 bird is matched to a deep purple. For a true raven, swap it for DMC 310 black in the editor and keep the lighter wing feathers grey.
