We help you finish it
A human finish would check awkward single stitches, protect the important details and place lettering with care. This service is being prepared. We are not accepting orders or payments.
Use the brief below to decide what you want before working with a stitch designer. It stays in your browser and downloads to your device; nothing is submitted.
No quote, order or turnaround commitment is created. Keep your original photo separately.
Choose the detail that matters
For a custom cross stitch pattern from a photo, use a clear subject with a simple background. A tightly cropped pet portrait usually gives the eyes and face more stitches than a full room scene. Start with a modest color count, then inspect the important areas at normal viewing size.
For personalized cross stitch lettering, check spelling and dates before exporting. Names become editable stitches, so save a copy before changing them. Nameable stockings, wedding keepsakes and birth announcements already leave space for your words.
What a finished chart should include
- A stitch preview and a symbol chart from the same grid.
- A DMC color key, fabric count and stitched dimensions.
- Readable printed cells and clearly marked page overlaps.
- A review of small details and any isolated stitches before committing to cloth.
The free editor supplies the chart and exports. Physical thread colors still need your judgment: our preview is an uncalibrated simulation, not a promise of an exact fabric match.
Designing for customers?
The local Seller demo lists $14.9/month or $99/year. Try buyer links and versioned proofs with mock checkout. Personal tools stay free. This brief stays on your device and does not book a designer.
Can I order a finished piece here?
No. This build makes digital charts for you to stitch. The human-finish service is not accepting orders, and no stitched product or material kit is sold here.
Do you upload my photo?
No. Personal photo conversion is local. Choosing a Save link or a tracked PDF stores only the chart and settings on the server, with a separate explanation before saving.
Can I use an existing designer’s chart?
You can locally import files you have permission to use. PDF support is limited by chart structure. A downloadable chart is not automatically licensed for copying, redistribution or sale.
