An image. A few colors. Your next project.
Choose an image or try the flower to see full cross stitches, a printable symbol chart and your finished design size.
Approximate screen preview. One square = one full cross stitch on Aida. Gray blank cells in symbol view are not stitched. No dithering or automatic outlines.
Start small
Try the original flower example or a clear illustration. Start around 64 stitches wide and 8 colors; inspect eyes and small details in the symbol view before printing.
Size your finished design
Each grid square is one full cross stitch on Aida. Design size in cm = stitches ÷ fabric count × 2.54. Add your own fabric margins for framing. Half stitches, backstitch and linen counting are not supported.
Save before you leave
Download a .crossstitch.json project to keep editing later. A PDF is a chart, not an editable backup. Preview and print colors are approximate; no thread quantities or manufacturer color matches are promised.
