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: Three figures on a black night. Stitch the figures first, then the dark background; on black Aida you could leave the darkest areas unstitched to save hours.

Made from a picture by Francisco Goya (public domain).
