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: Stitch the white falling water first, it is the brightest part, then the dark rock face around it and the stones in the pool.

Made from a picture by Jeffrey Workman (CC0).
