WinStitch, and its Mac-based brother MacStitch, has a lot going for them. Use this link ($) or this link (£) to save yourself $5 when you buy! This post details all cross stitch programs on PC, Mac, Online and iPad with online polls and feefo review scores. I often get asked “What’s the best cross stitch pattern software?”, and it shouldn’t surprise you that there are lots of options. Posted inCreativity, digitizing, embroidery, machine embroidery | Taggedcross stitch, halloween, machine embroidery | Leave a replyИсточник:, Cross Stitch for Windows Archives And really pretty fast and easy when you make use of technology! Gotta love it. I bought a cheap Halloween tree for the house and one for the shop…these will be on display for awhile! And if I have time, I’ll make more…it’s a little addictive. I also made some larger ornaments with regular embroidery on them. I managed to create a cat, a witch and a pumpkin. Voila! Six or eight of them will fit into the jumbo hoop. When all is done stitching, I cut everything out, clipped corners, turned it inside out, stuffed them with polyfill, and used the machine to stitch along the bottom closure. As you can see, in the hoop, they look like little ravioli. Under the backing I taped down some ribbon, so that they could be hung. Before that last double run thread stitches, I added the backing, with right sides together. This is a huge step and really cuts down on thread changes.Īt the end, I added a double run stitch around the outside of the ornament, leaving the bottom open, so the little critters could be turned inside out and stuffed. I also rearranged the color film, along the right, to stitch all of one color at once instead of all the colors in one pumpkin at a time. Once one file is in the software, you can repeat it multiple times. I love this technique because it turns all those little x’s in the Cross Stitch program into machine-readable stitches. The next step of course, is to bring the cross stitch design into the actual embroidery software. The cross stitch program within Software 7 saves the file as. I wanted to keep these very simple so I could make many, but not take a lot of time. Then you can use the software to create stitches following the image in the background. I scanned a few of their Halloween “ornaments”, and brought the jpegs into the cross stitch software. They always include many many patterns for people to use. I stumbled across some lovely cross stitch designs in Just Cross Stitch Magazine. However, I love the way it looks, and I love how easy it is to get some things done in software (which I DO love to use). I am not a big fan of cross stitch.at least not actually DOING it. So this year I am teaching some students to use the cross stitch program in Bernina Embroidery Software 7. Once the kids are all back in school and the “official” fall season starts, it’s amazing how many of us turn to our craft, our hobby or our passion once again. But when that first crisp fall breeze rolls in, and those first few leaves begin to fall, I get inspired. Most chain stores start putting their Halloween decorations out July 5. Too much pressure, too many gifts, too much hype.Īnd when you work in retail, Halloween isn’t much better. I have always enjoyed Halloween more than Christmas, or whatever mid-winter holiday you celebrate.
