Cross Stitch Professional for Windows can be
used for converting photographs and clipart into
cross stitch charts. It can also be used to design
charts starting with a blank sheet. Charts can be
produced complete with colour key, simulation of
stitched result and thread organiser cards.

are also 2 designed for digitising for machine. The
digitising process is completely automatic once the
cross stitch design is entered by drawing or
scanning.
The program features advanced tools such as layered
objects, despeckling, smoothing, shape drawing
etc.

to ensure matching between screen colours and the
finished stitched result.

capability including huge image export and pdf
creation without the need for additional pdf
creation software.
