## What is Ruta Stitch?

Open the PDF charts and pattern files you already own. Change any chart with a full editor. Your progress follows you between your phone and tablet, with no files to move.

OPEN THE PATTERNS YOU ALREADY HAVE
- PDF patterns from shops and designers. A multi-page PDF becomes one chart, with the thread key beside it.
- XSD, OXS and PAT files, Ruta files, a pattern in a ZIP, and a photo of a paper chart.
- Moving from another stitching app? Import the PDF you marked there, and the stitches you have done are marked in Ruta too.
- If a PDF cannot become a chart, you can still stitch from its pages and mark them with a highlighter, a line tool and an eraser.

A CHART EDITOR, NOT ONLY A VIEWER
- Change colours, fix stitches, move or turn parts of the chart.
- When the next SAL part arrives, add it to the chart you already stitch. No second project to keep track of.
- Tidy the thread list.

SYNC BETWEEN ALL YOUR DEVICES
Charts and progress stay up to date on your phone and tablet. You do not export, email or copy anything. Sign in with Apple, Google or email, or use Ruta on one device without an account.

STITCH YOUR WAY
- Tap or swipe to mark stitches. Undo when you slip.
- Highlight the thread in your needle and fade the rest.
- Find next takes you to the next spot for that thread.
- Parking: mark where a parked thread is waiting.
- Working area, rulers and centre lines.
- The original PDF is one tap away.
- Progress numbers for each thread and for the whole chart.

EVERY KIND OF STITCH
Full, half, quarter, three-quarter and petite stitches, backstitch, French knots, beads and blended threads, all in one chart.

THREADS
See your thread list with amounts and skeins once the fabric is set. Match colours to DMC, Anchor and other brands, to specialty and overdyed threads, and to beads.

SEE IT FINISHED
Preview the chart as finished embroidery on different fabric colours.

KEEP TRACK
Daily activity and goals, stitching history, notes and progress photos for every project. Dark mode is included.
