Stitches for Mac OS 1.3

A professional level cross-stitching and charting application. It allows anyone to create and design their own cross-stitch charts, either from scratch or by importing photos, drawings and clipart.

With a focus on ease-of-use, Stitches offers powerful selection and painting tools for creating and printing gorgeous charts. When creating a design from scratch, users may choose from up to 450 symbols to assign to their colors from 427 different DMC swatches. Imported artwork is automatically converted to DMC Standard colors.

Once a chart design has been created, it can be printed faithfully in a variety of patterns, including an estimate of the amount of thread required. And since Stitches is WYSIWYG, what is on screen is what will be printed on paper and cloth.
