X-Stitch Plus is the best way to inventory and track all your cross stitch stash. This easy-to-use app was designed by cross stitchers for cross stitchers. Track all your projects from wish list to finished using the Journal feature. Load up to 5 photos per project. Use the inventory to track all your threads, charts, linens and embellishments. Tens of thousands of threads are pre-loaded so you don't have to type in details. Mill Hill beads are also pre-loaded so you can quickly add them to your inventory. Keep multiple photos for your charts and embellishments. Use the fabric calculator to easily determine fabric dimensions in inches and centimeters. The shopping cart helps ensure you remember exactly what you need when you're at the shop. And of course, these modules are interlinked so you can quickly share info between them, e.g., quickly create a Journal entry from one of your charts. Want to share? X-Stitch Plus supports sharing via Facebook, Twitter, E-Mail, Text and more. Another key benefit of X-Stitch Plus is all your data is stored in the cloud.

About

StitchBase

Read full description

StitchBase is a digital cross-stitch chart library and organizer built to help stitchers keep every pattern, chart, and piece of needlework inspiration in one well-organized place. Instead of searching through your stash, this app gives you a structured personal archive where you can upload, tag, sort, and review your charts at a glance—making planning and selecting projects much easier. With an app like this, you can: • Import and store your cross-stitch charts (PDFs, images, pattern files) • Organize them with tags and categories • Plan and schedule your projects • Quickly review your collection anytime you want to pick your next piece • Preserve digital copies of patterns you love and want to revisit later • Use the calculators to determine fabric size and thread color conversion The goal is to turn what can be a messy collection of patterns and files into a personal stitch library you can easily explore and use whenever inspiration strikes, whether you’re planning your next sampler or tracking charts you intend to stitch.
