Key features
- Patterns from images
- An image is opened from a file, the clipboard, by drag and drop or with the camera on phones; it is cropped, the stitch width and fabric count (11–18 ct Aida, 25–36 ct linen) are chosen and the finished size is shown in cm / inches.
- Colour matching
- Colours are matched to the Crocella palette (458 approximate colours) with CIELAB / CIEDE2000; colour limit, dithering, removal of isolated stitches and leaving the background empty.
- Editor
- Symbols, colours or both; a bold line every 10 stitches and numbered rulers. Pencil, eraser, fill, replace colour, selection, flipping and symmetry.
- Partial stitches
- Half stitches (/ and \), quarter stitches and backstitch.
- Thread list
- Stitch count, estimated thread length and number of skeins for each colour (by strands, fabric and waste allowance), symbol key; your own thread number can be entered for each colour.
