What is StitchXCross?
StitchXCross turns a photo into a cross stitch chart using perceptual (CIEDE2000) matching against all 489 DMC floss colors, with confetti cleanup and an option to limit the chart to floss you already own. A full editor lets you draw stitch by stitch with backstitch, French knots, fractional stitches and text. Charts export as unwatermarked PDFs with a symbol legend, thread list and stitch counts. The site also has 9 free hand-drawn patterns, a searchable DMC color chart, DMC to Anchor conversion, fabric, thread, cost and time calculators, and printable graph paper. Free, no account; patterns are saved in the browser.
