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: One color, so it is the quickest pattern here. The legs are a single stitch wide, so count each one out from the body. Swap the blue-violet for DMC 310 black in the editor if you want a black spider.
