Comments

I built StitchCraft after trying to turn a photo of my dog into a cross stitch pattern — every tool I tried handed back a muddy chart full of single-stitch confetti. So we built a proper pipeline: perceptual CIELAB color matching against real DMC floss, plus a filter that removes isolated stitches before they reach your hoop. It's completely free, no sign-up, and the generation engine is open source on GitHub. I'd love feedback on pattern quality — upload a photo and tell me how the chart turns out!
