How to Create Your Own Cross Stitch Patterns
Dive into the world of personalized cross stitch by selecting the "Create a Cross Stitch Pattern" button. You'll be greeted by the intuitive Cross Stitch Pattern Editor, where you can fill squares with a vast array of DMC floss colors. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even add custom colors to match your unique style.
Getting started is a breeze—just use the pencil tool to fill in squares and bring your design to life. Should you need to make corrections, the eraser tool is there to help you clear any filled squares with ease. Elevate your design with over 80 stamps and borders, seamlessly integrating them into your pattern for added flair.
