About Hello CrossStitch
Hello CrossStitch keeps your cross-stitch projects moving — one stitch at a time. Follow your chart right on your iPhone/iPad, mark cells as you stitch, and watch your finished piece slowly appear. STITCH FROM YOUR OWN PDF CHARTS • Import PDF charts purchased from Heaven And Earth Designs (HAED), Artecy Cross Stitch, Golden Kite or Zanna Cross Stitch, and see the exact symbols from the printed chart • Multi-page charts join into one seamless pattern • More chart publishers are being added — write to us with the ones you use TURN PHOTOS INTO PATTERNS • Create a cross-stitch pattern from any photo in seconds • Every color is a real DMC floss you can buy • Choose the size (up to 900 stitches wide) and number of colors • Blend two flosses in one needle to reach the shades in between — more colors without buying more thread. Dithering and vivid color get you closer still WATCH YOUR PROGRESS BLOOM • Your picture emerges on the progress screen as you stitch • Progress %, stitches today, weekly stats and personal records • An estimated finish date that updates as you go • Timelapse: replay your project stitch by stitch and watch the picture appear MADE FOR SERIOUS STITCHING • Symbol highlight: light up every cell of the color you're working on • Jump to the next unstitched square of that color — work one thread from start to finish without hunting for what's left • Parking: mark the cells where you parked your thread, so you always know where to pick up • Zoom from a single cell all the way out to the whole design AND MORE • Back up your progress and restore it on a new device — backup files hold your progress only, never the chart itself • Diagonal and zigzag guide grids help you keep your place • Thread list shows remaining stitches for every DMC color • Thread usage: how many stitches each DMC color needs and how many skeins to buy, from your fabric count and strands • Started your project before getting the app? Mark the finished areas in one sweep FREE TRIAL, THEN FREE OR PREMIUM Every feature is free for your first 30 days — no purchase needed. After the trial, the essentials for following your chart and recording your stitches stay free (with ads), while the Premium subscription (monthly or yearly) unlocks all features and removes ads. Available in English, Japanese, Spanish and French. Terms of Use: https://hellocrossstitch.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://hellocrossstitch.com/privacy
