What you can do
Start with a photo or a thread plan
Open a photo for a transfer outline and suggested thread colours, or pick DMC threads yourself. Mark each thread done as you work.
Ten stitches, with diagrams
From running and stem stitch to satin stitch and French knots, each with a diagram and when to use it. Ten animated lessons show the needle moving.
Plan your hoop, cloth and thread
Pick a hoop from 3 to 12 inches, record the fabric and the thread, and get cloth-size and needle guidance.
Estimate thread
Enter the fill area, line length or number of knots for a shopping estimate per thread.
Print an outline at hoop size
Turn a picture into line art and export a one-page PDF sized for your hoop. Choose iron-on and the sheet is mirrored.
Try the botanical wreath
The included example has six thread colours, assigned stitches and a printable outline, free to explore.
