A Brand New Update!

I was very surprised to see that this app got a new update. I've owned it for a long time. I deleted it back when because I found it tedious to use. I like the new update. However, it still needs some basic improvements. The frame hides the edges of the canvas and my work gets cut off at the edges making the artwork uneven on the parts where the stitches get cut off. I think it would be helpful if there was a way to move the canvas, or move the frame out of the way. Or, maybe a zoom feature would help? Also, you have to have a very steady hand to create even lines - that's the part that I found tedious the most. Other than that, I think the app has a lot of potential. I like the Zazzle thing, but I am not understanding why there is such a close link with the website when I haven't authorized it. I guess I'll have to check that out further. Thanks for the update. I'm very happy that the app is still alive. Good work!

Please expand the Canvas

I have been trying to find an app that would allow me to create some Romanian cross stitch designs and this is the only one that comes close to what I would like to have. But it is far from being perfect. I really don’t care for the frames this app offers. However I would like to have a canvas that can be adjusted to the size I want my design, which in my case would need to be twenty to thirty times the size of what your app provides. Don’t fuss with anything else, just expand the canvas to whatever the needs. Oh, and of course make the cut, copy, stamp window adjustable. That’s all. I would pay more money, if it comes to it.

Very nice!

I love the look of my completed project! It looks so much like a real cross stitch project! The app is easy to use, not too complicated. So it's perfect for me except it would be nice to be able to do a bigger project on my iPad mini. That and one little button for a super small stitch in case of a split. I'm so glad I found this app and thank the developer so much!!

Update: Thank you for the update! I haven't checked it out fully but very much appreciate the refresh. Can't wait to try it out. I still love this app!!! It's just a fun way to pass the time and create little pieces of stitchery. One change that will be nice is the ability to put on Zazzle products without the fabric background. That will be nice. Thank you again!!!
