What's New in Needlentory

8.8

October 25, 2026

Charts from StitchHub can now become projects. Choose “Export to Needlentory” in StitchHub, and Needlentory creates the project with its cover, fabric, threads, beads, amounts and stitching history. First you check each color: keep the match, pick another from your palettes, add it as a new color, or leave it in the notes. Works with StitchHub 3.7 and Needlentory 8.8 or later.

SO much potential but needs more

Absolutely love the idea behind this app, it’s allowed me to keep track of my floss colors and kits but when I add specific catagories it multiplies them again in the original given the names are similar. This really makes it fall short for me. Better categorizing options would be amazing.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! I’d really like to understand what’s happening, but I’m not quite sure what you mean by the categories being multiplied. Could you please email me at fancycrossstitch@gmail.com with a little more detail and, if possible, a screenshot or example? I’d be happy to look into it and fix any issue.

Отличное приложение

Я очень довольна приложением, теперь все запасы учтены!
Но очень бы хотелось иметь возможность поменять отображение запасов с мотков на метры для всей палитры. Так как по остаткам не полных мотков ориентироваться не очень удобно.

Response from developer

Спасибо большое за ваш отзыв! Очень рада, что приложение помогает держать запасы в порядке. Идея с отображением запасов в метрах действительно хорошая, и я тоже думала над такой возможностью. К сожалению, сейчас это затрагивает многие разделы приложения, поэтому пока не удалось реализовать это без серьёзных изменений в логике работы приложения. Я обязательно сохраню ваше пожелание и вернусь к нему, если удастся найти подходящее решение. Спасибо, что поделились идеей! Если у вас возникнут ещё замечания, вопросы или предложения по работе приложения, пишите на fancycrossstitch@gmail.com 🤗

Mais quelle tristesse…

J’ai rentré tout mon inventaire et je ne peux plus me servir de l’application. Impossible de gérer mon stock correctement et de savoir dans quel projet j’ai utilisé un écheveau. Je suis dégoutée. Je n’ai plus qu’à chercher une autre solution.

Не полная палитра dmc

Я была рада найти приложение, где я буду вести учет мулине. Но при первом же использовании разочаровалась, т.к. палитра dmc не полная, и в таком случае смысла в приложении нет

Response from developer

Спасибо за ваш отзыв. В приложении демо палитры, чтобы показать функции приложения. Вы всегда можете импортировать готовые палитры из приложения Needleply (о чем написано в нескольких в описании приложения, заметах демо палитр и часто задаваемых вопросах в настройках). Если в палитрах чего-то не хватает - вы можете написать нам и мы постараемся добавить. Если у вас возникнут ещё замечания, вопросы или предложения по работе приложения – пишите на fancycrossstitch@gmail.com 🤗

Suspect

Après avoir téléchargé je me retrouve avec la liste de quelqu’un d’autre. très peu de choix de compagnie à part anchor et dmc on doit toi rentrer à la main. Semble une arnaque
