I hope you enjoy the video and seeing how I’ve come to where I’m at today in my design journey. Below the video is a list of links of articles and such I discuss in the video, they’re the same ones that are in the video’s description on YouTube. Below are suggestions for settings to use. PAT files (PC Stitch format 4 through 7) available on the web, from your MAC Note: although there is a program with a similar name (mcStitch), our program is for hand crafting, and is not something to drive a sewing machine. When clicking on export there is a dialog with export options. And now, access to hundreds of downloadable free and commercial. No, MacStitch (and the PC version WinStitch) isn’t free, it’s very good quality software. Typing Macstitch cross stitch viewer into a search engine should bring it up. If the symbols select just as text then it is correct. One such program is called MacStitch by Ursa Software. In the next video I’ll film instructions about how to use some of the features of MacStitch (well, the ones I consistently use anyway, some I haven’t used at all). To double-check that a PDF is using TTF font symbols just open it in a PDF reader and try to select the symbol. That’s when I switched to using the MacStitch software I’ve written about before ( here and here), and the results have been great.Īs I said in the video, I’m not getting anything from Ursa Software (the makers of MacStitch and WinStitch) by talking about the software, I’ve just found it really useful so I know others will as well. The default view shown are a conversion of this horse image using our own image to cross-stitch pattern conversion tool vs the latest version of MacStitch. That was an interesting learning experience, and it spurred me to get more into the craft and find a better way to design the patterns from my art. In the video you’ll see that I did my first pattern ever by hand (which took forever but was well worth the effort). So far I’ve done four patterns on my own – three smaller pieces and I’m currently working on my big Michelangelo piece. ![]() This week I found out that more people than I realized were viewing and subscribing to my YouTube cross stitch instructional videos, which is great! As a result, I thought I’d make a video of how I started designing my cross stitch patterns using my artwork.
