Description

Turn pictures of your favorite moments into beautiful cross stitch tapestries of almost any size! Cross Stitch Creator is an embroidery app that allows you to generate cross stitch patterns from pictures (or create them from scratch) and track your progress on them. You can also save patterns as PDFs to print or share with your friends! There are no subscriptions or in app purchases - after the initial app purchase you can create as many patterns and PDFs as you want.

Features:
• Generate cross stitch patterns from pictures or from scratch up to 800 x 800 stitches
• Use hundreds of different colors in a single pattern
• 454 different DMC thread colors to choose from
• Create your own color palettes to use for generating (such as colors you already own)
• Several generation parameters such as maximum number of colors allowed and dithering
• Track your progress on patterns (details below)
• Edit your patterns after generating to perfect them (details below)
• See a preview of what your pattern will look like when it's fully stitched
• Print patterns from directly within the app
• Share patterns as PDFs via Email, iMessage, and more
• Help popups to guide you through using the app

Progress tracking:
• Colorize individual stitches to mark progress
• Quick and easy symbol/color lookup
• Lockable stitches
• Sortable key
• Pattern metadata such as size, date created, number of colors, percent complete...

Pattern editor:
• Clean up generated patterns or create patterns from scratch
• Tools include draw, erase, fill, and undo/redo
• Effects such as reducing the number of colors used, conforming to a given palette, and resizing/cropping
• Note: Only full stitches and backstitches are supported. Half stitches, quarter stitches, french knots, etc. are not.

Disclaimer:
Although we try our best, thread colors may not appear to be completely accurate. Perception of thread color depends on multiple factors including, but not limited to, display settings such as brightness and night shift, ambient light conditions, and neighboring colors in the pattern. Please use your best judgement in determining which colors to actually use when stitching the pattern.

So far so good

Bought this app as it looked like a slightly simpler version of what I was using on PC. At the moment the only things that are really missing from the pattern editor is the ability to select a colour in your pattern and see what the DMC thread number is, and the ability to generate a preview of the pattern without the grid.
Haven’t attempted to print a pattern yet, so hopefully that works ok

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feature suggestions! Feel free to contact us via email (About Us -> Contact Us) with more details or other suggestions if you have them!

UPDATE: It just occurred to me, in the editor, if you use the eye dropper tool on the stitch you want to know the DMC number of and then tap the color swatch in the toolbar, the popup will display the color number at the top. I don't remember if this feature existed before or after your review, but wanted to let you know in case you were still facing the issue.

I truly love this app...the best and most useful $15 I have ever spent. I ve always done a bit of cross stitch but this app makes it so much easier ... as I can isolate colors when the chart is complex - as in each stitch a different colour. And being able to convert my own photos into charts an added bonus. The sky s the limit!

I love this app

The ease of use and the many functions. I spend many hours creating patterns from scratch and would love the back stitch, french knot and diagonal stitch added to it to make it the best app for creating cross stitch on the iPad.
