Fantastitch vs Crossly Stitch

Fantastitch is a free interactive viewer for digital cross-stitch patterns developed by Merejka. You can upload your own patterns or download Merejka’s free patterns, open them in the viewer, and stitch without needing a paper scheme at all. The interactive mode allows you to mark already stitched areas on the pattern or erase your marks. You can also isolate a specific symbol or color and highlight it for easier stitching. The application shows you the required strands for stitching and makes your work enjoyable and efficient. Additionally, you can switch between different preview modes and adjust the visibility of various pattern elements. Fantastitch also provides useful insights into your daily, monthly, or overall progress, as well as the canvas and thread usage for each cross-stitching project. You can settings, such as rulers, grids. Fantastitch includes many other helpful features to make your cross-stitching experience easy and pleasant. Try Fantastitch today — it’s free.
