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 soft green background is a few shades only and quick to fill. Stitch the rabbit’s dark eye and ears first, then its brown coat.
Made from a picture by Ray Hennessy (CC0).
