Design your own cross-stitch patterns with the Cross Stitch Pattern Creator! This app comes with four free sample patterns to get you started. Activation is a one-time purchase of $2.99. A tablet is recommended due to the size of the patterns.
To begin creating, simply select the "Create a Cross Stitch Pattern" button. The Cross Stitch Pattern Editor will open, allowing you to fill squares with DMC floss colors. You can even add your own custom colors.
