Top Five Free Cross Stitch Software Programs

Despite the large number of cross stitch patterns and kits on the market, sometimes you want to design your own. Cross stitch software converts photographs, drawings, and any other picture to a counted cross stitch chart. Some programs cost a lot of money.
 However, there are some free cross stitch software programs available.

These free cross stitch software applications transform a graphic into a cross stitch chart on graph style paper. The pattern can be made with either colored blocks or symbols. These patterns can be printed on your home computer. Many include embroidery floss color charts.

Definately useless with out the links!

I so agree!! I need the links and do not do pcstitch it is so useless. It just torments you and not let you do anything. So not user friendly. You can do better !!!!

Just wanted to note that there were originally links in the article which were stripped out by AC so they could stick in all their obnoxious ad links. I have no control over the article once they have it in their clutches.

It would have been nice if the web address was given for all 5 sites but the one she did list for KC-stitch has a GREAT and free download that is almost identical to the "trial" pc stitch. The major difference is with the KC you can save and print your design, with PC stitch you can't unless you send them money.

Where are the links? Totally useless without links.

If there were links to the downloads it might actually be a useful article. Instead it offers advertising traps.

This could help me make a great Christmas gift for my husband's mom -- I bet she'd love a pillow or hanging of my husband holding my coming-attraction daughter. Hmmm...
