Patchwork vs IrisFold

If it lives on a grid of color, you can make it in Patchwork. Cross stitch, knitting, crochet, needlepoint, and more. Built natively for iPhone, so it feels fast and at home on your device. Here is what you can do. Design on a live pixel grid. Place stitches one at a time or fill whole areas at once. Draw lines and shapes, copy and paste sections, work in layers, and step back through your history whenever you need to. Turn a photo into a pattern. Bring in any picture and Patchwork maps it to threads you can actually buy. No tracing, no guesswork. You get a chart you can start stitching instead of a screenshot you have to squint at. Generate with AI. Describe what you want and get a starting point in a tap, then refine it however you like. It is a head start, not a black box, and your work stays yours. Match real thread colors. The full DMC, Anchor, and Madeira libraries are built in, over 900 colors, so what you see on screen matches the floss in your hands. Export anything. Save your chart, your symbol key, or a print-ready PDF, plus a shopping list with stitch counts so you know exactly what to buy. Crafting Mode. Track your progress stitch by stitch. Patchwork remembers exactly where you left off. Make it yours with color themes that follow your style. Now the part that matters as much as the features. Your patterns are private. There is no account to make and no server of ours collecting your work. Everything stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud, which only you can see. No advertising, no tracking, no analytics watching what you make. Patchwork is free to download so you can try it. When you are ready for everything, Patchwork Pro unlocks the full toolkit with one purchase. No subscription. iPad and Mac support are on the way, and your purchase and your patterns will come right along with you. If you stitch, knit, crochet, or design on a grid, Patchwork was made for you. Come make something. Questions or ideas? Write to support@withpatchwork.com. A real person reads every message.
