What's New in StitchStash

2.5

October 7, 2026

What's new in 2.5 Projects & patterns • Add patterns from photos or PDF files. A photo of a paper pattern becomes a one-page PDF in your project. • Replacing a pattern with drawn progress now asks for confirmation. Removing a pattern also requires confirmation, and tapping its filename no longer removes it accidentally. • Fixed the add-tag button in the project editor so it responds only when you tap the button itself. Pattern Maker (Pro) • Turn a favorite photo into a cross-stitch pattern. Crop and rotate it, choose the shape, thread brand, colors and chart style, and optionally remove the background or center the subject. • Create charts up to 600 stitches per side. Set an exact width or height while keeping the photo's proportions. • Use all available colors, favor your collection or use only threads you own. Preview the chart, replace or merge colors, estimate skein quantities and add missing colors to your Shopping List. • Save a PDF chart with symbols and a thread key to a new or existing project, with estimated thread requirements added automatically. Reopen and refine it later; the source photo and settings are included in project backups. • Find Pattern Maker in the Projects add menu or the Tools menu. Appearance & reliability • A new terracotta icon for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Choose terracotta or the original green app icon in Settings → Appearance → App Icon. • If StitchStash cannot load your data, a recovery screen lets you try again, contact support or share technical details without deleting or changing your data. Support reports also leave your stored data unchanged. Happy stitching!

Exactly what I’ve been looking for

I was so excited to find this app. It’s everything I’ve been looking for to keep track of my floss so I was happy to pay the low cost for the pro version especially because it wasn’t subscription based. It’s so easy to add projects and I like that it times how long I’ve been working on it and I can see what floss I am missing for the project. It won’t track your stitches but that’s not really something I care about so if you do, keep that in mind. I am still learning to use it and see what features are offered but so far I am a big fan.

The cons - I do wish it would show all Dmc colors when I’m adding colors, not just the solid colors. You have to search specialty floss and add them one by one instead of in a group selection which leads me to the next con, THE LAG! Omg the lag is SO bad. It never crashed on me but it took me forever to add my specialty floss. It seems the search feature really bogs the app down and you really have to be patient. Overall I would just like to see a list of every color so I can compare what I have to what is available. Otherwise I am very happy and will continue to use this app!

Love Love Love This

I absolutely love this app. I use in to keep track of my thread so that I do not double buy any. This app is also affordable. The Pro version costs about the same as an embroidery hoop. I feel like it is worth it for all of the organization and project planning you can do within the app. One thing I would love within the app is to have a color palette option with just color palettes. You can import projects and make a color palette there, but I am wanting a designated area to keep my color palettes in. Just a suggestion! Keep up the good work!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! Enjoy using the app :)

Love it

We don’t have a Michael’s or Hobby Lobby anywhere near me (in Germany) so whenever I find a shop that sells DMC (rare) or is having a sale on them (even more rare), I buy as many as I can.

The problem is I don’t know what I have at home. I don’t think anyone does, really.

So a whole bunch of floss was stacking up at my place and I decided enough was enough. $5 for an app that doesn’t have a subscription strategy or tracks everything I do inside and outside the app? I’d say it’s worth it.

I organized my skeins and then started going through the app adding however many I had (no surprise DMC 310 is the winner and B5200 takes the second place but third goes to DMC 35 which was a bit of a shock since it comes up so rarely in the patterns I do) and building my inventory (or collection as it’s called in the app).

All told, I currently have 177 colors and 287 skeins.

Adding more is easy, as is subtracting when you finish a bobbin. I think the hardest part is going to be remembering to keep it updated as I stitch so for that reason it stays on the front page of my phone.

Anyway, it’s a clean app that’s easy to use and satisfies a need I had. I like that it’s a one-and-done purchase and it doesn’t track me. For $5 this feels like an absolute no-brainer to me.
