About StitchStash: Cross Stitch
StitchStash helps you organize your embroidery floss, match colors across brands, and plan every project, so you never accidentally buy the same skein twice. Multiple brands, one stash: Browse and search the full color catalog of every supported brand. Keep track of every thread you own and how many you have. See what's in your stash from any screen. No more guessing at the craft store. Mix several brands at once or focus on just one, and keep your whole collection in a single organized stash. Currently supported brands include DMC, Anchor, Cosmo, Olympus, CXC, Madeira, J. & P. Coats and Sullivans. Compare & convert between brands: Found a pattern in DMC but stitch with Anchor? Open any color to see the closest matches in other brands, so you can swap with confidence and never hunt for a substitute again. Color Matcher: Found the perfect color in a fabric, photo, or painting? Match it to thread in the brand you prefer: • Snap or pick a photo, then tap to sample any color • Pinch to zoom up to 10x for precise sampling • Use the color picker or enter a hex code • Get the closest matches ranked by accuracy You can also create a complete palette of up to 10 colors from a photo! Pattern Maker (Pro): Turn a favorite pet, a special memory, or your own artwork into a personal cross-stitch pattern. Crop your photo, choose the size in stitches and number of colors, and match it to your preferred thread brand. Use the threads you already own, adjust or merge colors, and preview the result. Save a PDF chart with symbols and a thread key straight to your project, with estimated skein quantities. You can reopen your saved pattern to keep refining it. Pattern Import (Pro): Bought a PDF pattern or have a paper chart? Attach it to your project and StitchStash reads the thread key for you: colors, brands and stitch counts. Check them against your pattern, then add every thread to your project at once and see right away what you still need to buy. Shopping List: Build a list of the threads you need. Use multi-select for bulk actions, swipe to move threads into your collection after buying, or export your list to Apple Reminders. Project Management: Plan and track your projects from start to finish: • Add a photo and attach a PDF pattern • Assign the threads you need with quantities • See which threads you own, which are missing, and which are on your shopping list • Add all missing threads to your shopping list in one tap • Add updates over time and keep track of how long you've worked on a project with the built-in timer Project Tools: Use the Fabric Calculator to work out the fabric size for your pattern based on your stitch count, fabric count, and preferred border. Use the Skein Calculator to estimate how many skeins your project needs. Pattern Tracker: Open your PDF pattern to zoom and pan in close. StitchStash remembers exactly where you left off. Go Pro to draw right on your pattern and mark off what you've finished with draw, erase, and undo. Sync across devices: Your collection, shopping list, and projects sync automatically via iCloud. Update your stash on iPhone and see it on iPad. StitchStash is built by a fellow stitcher for anyone who wants a simple, focused way to manage their threads without the clutter. Happy stitching!

What’s new
Version 2.6 · Updated October 31, 2026
What's new in 2.6 Bring your pattern's colors into your project: • Extract thread colors, printed stitch counts, skein amounts and strand counts from PDF or photographed thread keys. Scanned legends are read on your device. • Review colors before importing: correct brands and thread numbers, edit stitch counts and skein amounts, and choose which entries to include. Open and zoom the PDF without losing your edits. • Check blends and uncertain results, scan selected pages, and see a stitch total for your selection. Repeated legends are recognized; missing counts stay empty. • Save pattern counts with your project colors and include them in backups. Reimporting preserves existing project quantities and checkmarks. Photo Pattern Maker now keeps its stitch counts too. A refreshed look and helpful fixes: • Larger color previews and separate Collection and Shopping List quantity controls in Color Detail. • Thread-color thumbnails and banners for projects without photos, plus clearer project summaries, tags, filters, updates and timer rows. • Consistent Collection and Shopping List colors and badges, and refreshed Settings with colored icons and a redesigned Pro card. • The iPad new-project editor stays open when the window changes between compact and regular layouts. • Thread-removal confirmations now show custom thread names and the correct brand and number for catalog threads. • New variegated threads: Anchor Multicolour and shaded colors and all 140 Cosmo Seasons colors, plus corrected Anchor, Cosmo and Olympus colors. • Adding threads to a project now offers the main brands you choose in Settings, and the Apple Watch app and Shopping List widget recognize threads from every brand. Happy stitching!
