But unlike other simple programs, this one has an extremely robust pattern creator behind it, making it a perfect world of ease and quality. It’s built as a first step on your pattern creation journey, having just the core features you need. What makes this particularly fantastic is that its simple. But there is service still supplied, and patterns made from it are great quality.įrom the same creators as our number Windows choice, WinStitch, now comes a free software based on the same great software.
#MACSTITCH PRICING UPDATE#
It’s still a great program, however, the lack of yearly updates means it could be struggling against other programs, which update regularly. However it’s still used by DMC France along with many other major pattern makers. ILSoft used to be a major playing cross stitch generation programs, but started to drop from general usage as other programs came to market. Print to PDF: No, you can download another (free) program called CutePDF to do this
#MACSTITCH PRICING PDF#
Finally, you cannot export to PDF using the program itself you can download an additional program that acts as a fake printer to do this though.

Recently, a whole load of new apps don’t support KGchart patterns, meaning they aren’t as useful. The second issue is its a little buggy it used to be our best pick, but as PCstitch started to improve, KG Chart just couldn’t keep up.
#MACSTITCH PRICING MANUAL#
There are however four things to note firstly the colors can sometimes be a little red-based so require manual picking. It’s the third most used program out there, and for $35 is a steal.

There are also forums and an email for support and issues. It’s been created by a non-stitcher, but their understanding of our needs is great. The company also provide a version for Windows, and even one for the iPad, so I can design wherever I am.KG Chart has a fantastic set of stitches, incredible ease of use, and a lot of regular, and worthwhile updates. This worked well and did just what I needed. Eventually I found MacStitch by Ursa Software. Cross stitch software for the MacĬross stitch software for the Mac was harder to find. I happily used Easy Cross for my cross stitch designs for many years until moving from PCs to a Mac. Sadly the software I had chosen was slow to be updated, and eventually I started looking around for a replacement. I eventually settled on the most expensive program I could find, after all if it cost a lot it must be good eh? The next step was a bigger and better computer (why is the one we have never good enough?) and I looked around for a Windows program.īy this time we also had the internet and I downloaded and tried all the cross stitch pattern makers I could find. I soon learned that the benefits of designing cross stitch (and later blackwork) on the computer were many. No more scruffy hand-drawn charts with parts of the paper almost worn away where I had erased mistakes. It enabled me to print the charts that I sent to the magazine so they were neat and easy to read. Soon after that I discovered my first DOS cross stitch software. So what happened three weeks later? He would have had to chop off my hand to make me let go of the computer!
