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: Stitch the grey bones first, then the white skull over the middle, so its edge stays clean where they cross. Only three colors, a good second pattern after a heart.

Made from a drawing from Microsoft Fluent Emoji (MIT License).
