About

CanvasMark

Features
Read full description

CanvasMark is a private needlepoint canvas session map for stitchers who work from a real physical canvas. Import your own canvas photo, divide the surface into zones, track stitch and fiber notes, park thread positions, resume exactly where you left off, and prepare a clear finisher handoff when the piece is ready. Everything is designed around your own work-in-progress: local canvas photos, manual zone mapping, session history, progress snapshots, backup and restore, and exportable handoff notes. CanvasMark does not provide pattern libraries, designer canvases, social sharing, or copyrighted chart content.
