## What is Crossly Stitch?

Crossly turns your photos into cross-stitch patterns you'll love stitching.

Pick a photo, touch and hold your dog, cat or loved one to lift them out of the background, and Crossly makes a chart with DMC threads, ready to stitch. Everything happens on your iPhone or iPad: no account, no uploads.

FROM PHOTO TO PATTERN
• Touch and hold to lift a pet, person or thing out of the photo; the background stays bare fabric
• Frame just the face, the head and chest, or the whole subject in one tap
• Paint away anything you don't want, or paint it back
• Round hoop, square or free frame
• Presets for pets, people, houses, flowers and landscapes

PATTERNS THAT ARE NICE TO STITCH
• Colours matched to 489 DMC threads the way your eye sees them
• Stray single stitches tidied up, while highlights like the sparkle in an eye stay
• Choose the size, the number of colours and the fabric count

SEE IT BEFORE YOU START
• Preview it finished in a hoop, framed or on a towel
• Share the picture with the person it's for

TOWELS
• A special mode for towels with an Aida band: hand towel, guest towel, bath towel, bib and more
• Your motif is fitted to the band, once in the middle or repeated along it

BEAD PATTERNS TO DMC
• Found a lovely MARD bead chart? Take a screenshot and Crossly turns it into a DMC pattern
• Get a bead colour to DMC list to copy or share

CLEAR CHARTS AND PDFS
• Zoomable chart with symbols, bold lines every 10 and centre marks
• Thread list with skeins, and a shopping list to copy
• PDF with a thread key and chart pages, for printing or for pattern-tracking apps

Made for stitchers of every age: large, clear text that follows your iPhone's text size, and available in 15 languages.
