Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose your photo or artwork

Why spend hours searching the internet for that "different" cross-stitch pattern? We, too, have spent countless days searching for such as a pattern. There are few patterns available outside the "norm". Our solution was to start converting photographs into patterns for ourselves and now we want to provide that service for you.

We can take any of your photographs and convert them to a pattern to suit you. What better way is there to get the pattern you want with the knowledge that nobody else will have the same. We cater for both inexperienced and experienced cross-stitchers being able to tailor the complexity of the pattern to your needs.

2. Choose your style

Cross-stitching is a fabulous pastime but sometimes it can feel like every pattern is the same. This is why we tailor each pattern to you. You will have the options to choose your stitch count, thread manufacturer, size of the printed pattern, size of the finished cross-stitch and the colour of the cloth. All of this gives you a pattern you want to do.
