I used to love to cross stitch. I haven't done it in years. I would love to do a picture of Bella (no surprise there, eh?)! I'm going to check these out! Thanks so much for sharing. That cross stitch of the kitten is gorgeous!
The kitten cross stitch is gorgeous! Not liking the way Cross Stitch 7 did the colors, either. Is it much of a pain to tweak it? I used to do a lot of cross stitch, but my eyes are so bad now, it drives me nuts. lol
I'm not sure how I will get on now either as I now need glasses for everything, but I have a magnifying light that works well so will help, it's years since I've done any though. :)
Wow..that is amazing Dorrie. I have never heard of such as thing for the computer. I used to do cross stitch in the little kits you could buy..but it was printed cross stitch and very easy to do. I am not very crafty..hee hee. hugs, Chris
Hi Chris, I have never done the kits, I just jumped straight into doing from photographs. It seemed to me like a sensible thing for software to do and I searched for it and found it so was really pleased. You print the charts out onto A4 paper and you can work one chart at a time, it gives you all of the little symbols for the different colours and I'm sure on this latest one you could probably even print the chart in colour to help. It's all very clever stuff. :)
Oh Dorrie, thank you so much for this information! I am hoping they have a version that will work with my Mac but if not, my old computer is a PC and I can download it on there and print out my pattern from there also! The picture of your cat is just awesome!! I can't wait to try it out! Thanks again for this info!! xoxox
Just search for PCStitch7 and I'm sure you will find it Judy, if they don't do one for a MAC then there's bound to be an equivalent version somewhere.
I did find one for a mac and downloaded the trial version. I imported a picture of my first cat (who I lost) and it gave me a pattern with what looks like TONS of colors.. It is just amazing. It printed out on 7 sheets of paper I think. I may just have to try with something smaller first to see how it works.. LOL Thank you so much for this info! xoxo
That's so interesting!! I'm with Kim, I had no idea there were programs for this!!Blessings, Ang

Wow, Dorrie, those are amazing! If you do the baby's picture, I'd love to see it. Imagine designing a program to do such a thing!

Thank you. I was very pleased with it and it was my very first cross-stitch too so I was rather chuffed with how it turned out. :)
