Needlework
Studio
Design, stitch, and track your stitching projects, all in one app!
Features
Everything you need to design and stitch cross-stitch patterns.
Stitch Over Any Chart
Bring in any cross-stitch chart PDF as a layer you stitch over, even scanned or image-only charts that can't be read as a grid. Line it up with the canvas in a click, then stitch and track your progress straight from the screen.
Pattern Editor
Draw with pencil, fill, shapes, and text in every stitch type: full and part crosses, backstitch, French knots, and beads. Replace a color across the whole chart, drop part of a photo onto the grid with Image to Stitches, and blend up to three threads.
Pattern Viewer
Switch between chart mode, with clear symbol overlays, and thread mode, with realistic floss rendering. A resizable color legend, per-color progress tracking, and smooth zoom keep your place whether you are planning a design or stitching straight from the screen.
Import & Export
Move your patterns in and out freely. Import from JSON, OXS, and images, bring in stitching progress from other apps, and export to PDF, PNG, SVG, HTML, OXS, and JSON. Blend threads survive every format.
Image Converter
Upload any photo and convert it to a cross-stitch pattern. Adjust grid size, color count, contrast, brightness, and crop. Convert a photo to a cross-stitch pattern →
Materials Calculator
Load a pattern for exact floss requirements: skeins to buy, fabric cut size, and per-color counts. Calculate by stitch count or finished size too.
Thread Inventory
Browse 744 DMC, 441 Anchor, and 371 Mill Hill colors. Track ownership, search by number or name, and find similar colors with one click. Add your own custom and hand-dyed threads beyond the built-in catalogs.
Project Management
Saved patterns gallery with search and sort. Track project status, mark progress, and manage your collection.
Sync & Share
Open and stitch from your patterns on a phone, tablet, or second computer over Wi-Fi. Scan a QR code to pair, and multi-device sync keeps progress in step. The editor and inventory are built for touch, so they work on a small screen, not just the desktop.
