STOIK Stitch Creator allows users to create counted cross-stitch patterns using personal pictures effortlessly. Simply select an image, select a floss palette and the software will handle the rest with just a few clicks.

If you're a cross-stitching enthusiast who's looking for a more efficient way to craft your next masterpiece, then STOIK Stitch Creator may just be the tool you need. With this software, you can easily turn any photo or image into a cross-stitch pattern or create your own charts from scratch using virtual needles, color fill, eraser, text, and picture inserts.
Using STOIK Stitch Creator is incredibly easy - it only takes three simple steps to convert a picture into a cross-stitch chart. First, you choose your picture by loading it from the disk, scanner, or digital camera. Second, you specify the desired floss palette and let the software convert your picture into an optimized cross-stitch pattern. And third, you can adjust your pattern by adding a motif, border, or using the drawing tools available. Once you're satisfied with the results, simply hit print and start stitching!
One of the most useful features of STOIK Stitch Creator is its ability to create cross-stitch patterns in perfect color. The software recognizes the colors of most threads, and has information from many recent brand catalogues such as Anchor, DMC, Madeira, and J&P Coates. By specifying which threads you're going to use, you can help the software create a perfect pattern for you. The Image Conversion Wizard also shows instant previews for every step, allowing you to make changes on the fly.
There are also many powerful pattern editing tools available for those who want to take their cross-stitching to the next level. For example, if you're not happy with the busy background of your favorite photo, you can easily remove it using the eraser tool. You can also add a theme or season's greeting to your work using the text layer and various text effects. Plus, with over 10 stitch types, including French Knot, and extra backstitch types such as short and double backstitch, the possibilities are virtually endless.
In conclusion, STOIK Stitch Creator is an excellent tool for anyone who loves cross-stitching. With its intuitive interface and powerful editing tools, you can easily transform any picture or image into a beautiful cross-stitch pattern.
