## What is PetitMotif?

Imagine it. Stitch it. Voilà.

Type a word or two, like "a little croissant, perhaps?", and PetitMotif sketches a first draft: a small cross-stitch pattern with real DMC thread colors, a symbol chart, and a thread list. Made for beginner and casual stitchers: small grids, few colors, small enough to actually finish.

No accounts. No ads. No hundred-page chart you'll never finish.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Type an idea (up to 50 characters), tap one of the idea chips, or tap "Surprise moi" and we'll fill in an idea for you.
2. Tap "Generate pattern." In seconds, you get a first draft, already saved in My patterns. Simple, concrete ideas stitch best, like a red mushroom or a sailboat.
3. Look at the chart. Every color has its own symbol, the thread list names each DMC thread you need, and you see the finished size.
4. Tap "Make it yours" and edit until it feels like yours: swap any thread for another DMC color, or change individual stitches.
5. Stitch along on your phone, or tap Share to save the chart and print it.

WHY TINY?

Small patterns get finished. Yours will usually be around 20 to 32 stitches a side, with 5 to 8 thread colors, so there are fewer threads to buy and less to stitch. Small enough for a sleeve, a pocket, or a free weekend.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Generate from a prompt, an idea chip, or "Surprise moi"
• Real DMC threads, matched by how the colors actually look
• A chart with a symbol for every color, plus a thread list with DMC numbers and names
• Thread count and finished size on 14-count fabric, in inches or centimeters
• Edit colors: swap any thread for another DMC thread
• Edit stitches: change single stitches, with undo, redo, and revert
• Stitch along: a zoomable grid where you tick off stitches as you sew, with a progress count
• My patterns: every pattern you make is saved on your phone, with your stitch progress
• Five ready-made patterns included, free to open and stitch along: a cheese, the Eiffel Tower, a French bulldog, le coq and our own petit motif
• Share button: save to Photos or send to a friend, as two pictures (color preview, and chart with thread list)

IN-APP PURCHASES

PetitMotif is free to download, and five ready-made patterns are built in. To generate new patterns of your own, you use credits, and you can buy a pack whenever you need more:

• Petit: 5 patterns
• Bon: 15 patterns
• Grand: 40 patterns

These are one-time purchases. They never expire, and there is no subscription. Your first 2 patterns are free. After that, every pattern you generate uses one credit, including when you try again. If a pattern can't be made, no credit is used, and the screen tells you so. Your credit balance is kept on our server under your app's random install code, with no account, and it doesn't move to a new phone by itself; contact us and we'll help.

A NOTE ON AI

When you tap "Generate pattern", the text you typed goes to our server, which sends it to Google Gemini to check it against our rules and to draw the picture. PetitMotif then turns that picture into your stitch pattern.

We keep your prompts, the pictures, your patterns and simple usage events for 90 days to improve the app, and then they are deleted; only your credit balance and purchase record are kept longer. They are tied to a random ID for your install, not to your name. There are no accounts, no ads, and we don't track you across other apps. Details are in the privacy policy.

PetitMotif is built to make original designs, so we try not to stitch famous characters, logos, or artists' styles. If you don't like what you get, reword it and try again.

PERFECT FOR

• Beginners who want a first project small enough to finish
• Stitchers coming back to cross-stitch after a long break
• Anyone who would rather type an idea than hunt for a chart

MADE WITH CARE

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-11-04

Bonjour again! PetitMotif 1.0.1 is a small update.

• Every new pattern arrives as a draft. "Make it yours" opens the editor, and the draft is already saved in My patterns for when you're ready to stitch.
• Saving moved to the Share button: save or share the chart and color preview from there.
• Each pattern shows its thread count and finished size on 14-count fabric, in inches or centimeters to match your phone.
• Pattern names stay the way you typed them.
• A new stitched thank-you when you buy credits.
• If patterns keep failing on our side, we pause for the day instead of using your credits, and every error screen says plainly whether a credit was used.

Spot something odd, or have an idea? Use the contact form on petitmotif.app/support.

Happy stitching!
