I didn’t see a noticeable difference when I played with this (just reducing the colours once), but it’s a good way to drop down the number of colours in the pattern without having to figure out by hand which colours are close enough together to be combined. I also discovered there’s a neat function where you can reduce the number of colours in the palette by 10% (in the palette dropdown menu). I was pretty happy about that function, that will help me in the future when I’m adapting my artwork to cross stitch patterns (as sometimes there’s just a small area that I want to change a colour, rather than across the entire pattern). I figured out that if I wanted to use the select function, any “new” colours had to be in my palette (which is easy enough to alter). If the new colour isn’t currently in the palette, then all the stitches of the old colour will change to the new colour.
If the new colour is currently in your palette, only that selected area’s stitches will change. It turns out that once I select the area I want, I have to go into the palette menu at the top of the program and go to “search and replace.” You can select the colour you want to replace, then choose from your current palette and choose the new colour. So for this floral pattern I decided to try it.

Even though I’d emailed on a Saturday afternoon, they got back to me within an hour and told me how to do it.

I couldn’t get it to change the colours how I wanted, so I contacted Ursa Software (the makers of MacStitch). There are two select options (one for rectangular/square selections and one for rounded selections), and there’s a pop-up menu that appears to the side of your selection. In my Sistine pattern I’d been wanting to change the colours just in a small section, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it other than changing those colours by hand. Once I imported the photo, I wanted to play a bit with some of the functions. Of course it’s only a small size so you can’t see much detail until you actually import the photo, but it’s great that you can get a lot of information before you create the pattern. The preview function is really good, it does actually give you a great idea of what your finished piece will look like. I imported the image at the settings I liked (14 count, finished size 14″x19″, no dithering, no saturation changes, using DMC threads), and here’s the side by side of the preview image (before import on the left) and the smallest image of the pattern (actually at 0%) after import on the right.

To upgrade for a fee, please use this page. MacStitch 2010 for Mac, is app designed for making the creation of counted cross stitch charts easy, quick and fun.You draw on screen using the mouse, using your selected colors (taken from the DMC, Anchor, Madeira or several other thread ranges), and buil d up your design just as you would on graph paper. Similarly, on OSX Catalina, if you have told OSX to deny access to documents, you will need to allow access for our Mac app.Ĭontact us if you need any help with that, or check out our F AQ where we have links showing how to handle this.Ĭaution: Installing a demo will not upgrade your existing software, it would turn it into a demo version. You may need to set an exclusion, or 'run anyway' to install.
It still works, its free, and its great at opening any PDF, however, the app is considerably larger than the alternatives, and it’s just not as good.
On Windows, be aware that some virus checkers will block software which is not on their 'known' list. Foxit is a great app for editing pdfs on the go, however, it’s built with that purpose, and therefore doesn’t easily control cross stitch markups. Just click the link to begin downloading.

The main limitations are that you cannot print or export a chart you create in the demo, or save motifs, until you have the full version. You can open our sample charts and print or export those. You can design, import, amend designs of your own, and save them for later. The features of MacStitch and WinStitch are almost 99% available in the demo versions. Try before you buy - you can be sure that the software works on your own machine. Demo versions of our software, and sundry downloadable files.
