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: The skin is matched to a bright turquoise. For a more classic zombie, swap it for a sage green in the editor. Leave the dark hair and clothes for last.
