Stitchmate Cross Stitch Pattern Maker
Stitchmate is a modern cross-stitch design tool for creating printable patterns directly in a browser. It supports both photo-to-pattern conversion and manual pattern design, making it useful for hobby stitchers, pattern designers, and creators who sell digital cross-stitch charts.
Key Features
-
Design From Scratch
Start with a blank grid and build patterns stitch by stitch using brush, fill, line, rectangle, ellipse, selection, and other drawing tools. -
Convert Photos Into Patterns
Import an image and automatically transform it into a stitchable chart. Colors are mapped to real embroidery threads rather than generic screen colors. -
Advanced Stitch Types
Supports full crosses, half stitches, quarter stitches, three-quarter stitches, and backstitch, allowing smoother curves, outlines, lettering, and detailed designs. -
50+ Real Thread Brands
Patterns can use colors from dozens of embroidery-floss manufacturers, including DMC, Anchor, Cosmo, Madeira, and others. Entire palettes can also be remapped between brands. -
Perceptual Color Matching
Stitchmate uses perceptual color-distance calculations to find thread colors that visually resemble the source color instead of relying only on simple RGB matching. -
Confetti Cleanup
Automatically detects and reduces isolated stitches that would otherwise create excessive thread changes. Cleanup can be applied globally or selectively. -
FLOW Score
Each pattern can receive a stitchability score based on factors such as color clustering, confetti, palette practicality, and chart readability. This helps designers identify difficult patterns before stitching them.
