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: The fox sits in the middle of a busy snowy wood. Stitch the fox first so you see it early, then the dark branches, and the snow last.

Made from a picture by Ray Hennessy (CC0).
