Cross stitch

Been looking for a app that tracks where I am stitching but the ones I tried were so hard to understand and they seem to concentrate on all other things, but this is great just downloaded it now and found straight the way how to track my stitching. Its great!

All of the possibilities

I am hopeless at cross stitch mainly because the designs are too complicated and not of my choice. But I am very excited to discover this amazing app and will be able to use it to create designs to embroider myself and create patterns for others to use. Fantastic.

App updated and deleted every single project I had been working on. Progress on everything has been lost, absolutely devastated

Super fun!

This. Is. So. Cool! I know it’s meant to be used to create cross stitch patterns but I’ve been using it to edit my photos and turn them into art works. Thanks for a great app!

Not working

I have reported previously this app no longer worked and had to email the details in. I reviewed this in September saying it wasn’t working on iPhone, it is now December and still not working please sort this

Good day Kerry. I've just released a new version of the app. Hope it's fixed the problem. If you still experience this issue, please send me a message to support@magic-needle.io. Best regards, Artem

Version 2.25

I tried to submit feedback both within the app and on the website, and got the message “failed to submit feedback”, so here I am.

The most recent update that forces entering the number of colors/thread rather than the sliding scale makes this app nearly useless to me. I use this app to help pick thread colors just as much, if not more often than, making full patterns.

I use my own art to make cross stitch and embroidery patterns, and having to pick the right number of thread and hope to hit the sweet spot to get the right colors is impossible now.

Can there at least be an option to get turn the sliding scale on/off? Without this, I unfortunately won’t be able to justify the continued subscription to this app, and I would much rather keep it.

App review and improvements

I love this app when I have a photo to convert. It is easily adjusted to a size and colour you're happy with. It zooms brilliantly and you can colour in your progress.

As an improvement though it would be fantastic to be able to create a pattern from scratch or start with a photo and edit the pattern if you want to. I have created a pattern from an image but had to adjust the pattern ad hoc myself when sewing to make it better.

Does what it says on the tin

This is a really useful app that will generate a wide range of cross stitch patterns and can be used for tapestry too with a change of scale. It means that I can generate my own original projects rather than use kits. It is expensive which is why I have given it 4 stars. The coding of thread colour is excellently done but the estimation of amounts is way off. I have used about twice as much thread as told in the chart. Anyway, thank you for an ingenious app which has enriched my craft projects

Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback! We will check the algorithm and make sure it estimates amount of thread properly.

Missing some important features

Good app but I wish you were able to highlight the section/square that you are working on to ease following the pattern. Also would be nice if you could remove background stitches (ie the background of the picture that you are making into a pattern that y aren’t going to stitch). Like I said, good otherwise.
