StitchSketch App Reviews

-Needs layers -The last color in the color list wont highlight -the line tool is hard to use

I love this app, I have been using it for years and even bought a new iPad so I could keep using it. I love that there is now vector drawing so I can do partial stitches and outlining although I would like it better if the half stitches were triangles rather than "T"s. I rated it 4 stars because there is not an option to sort the colors by number, its a pain to have to search for the color by shade because of the crazy numbering system of DMC. If you like designing cross stitch or anything else that requires a grid I would really recommend this app.

I use this app to create images that I use to crochet using single stitch or half double stitch.. Currently I made a small pixel image I am using as a draft for a granny square blanket. Its an amazing app. Just in case of a crash which I havent not had happen often, I recommend saving every so often. You can even import photos to turn into designs. Its quite an amazing app and worth the purchase.

I purchased this app to make patterns of text, but when I try to use the text tool the app crashes and sends me to the iPad home screen. This Happens every single time...I am pretty disappointed. Also the last color on the color selection will not highlight sometimes. If the text feature worked properly I would give this app 4/5 stars but it doesnt so 2/5

Great for charting straight cross stitch designs. However if you want to add backstitching it is difficult to do.

I love it. Its so easy to use... Knitting color, cross stitch, and more.

Wide (gigantic) selection of colors. Easy to use. Can cut/paste, erase, rearrange easily. Recommend that needleworkers purchase full version. It has been very helpful not only with color work, but with arranging crochet blocks. Love it!

Im really glad I bought this app. I sell patterns on Etsy and had been using Pages, but this app allows me to draw a pattern a lot quicker and it includes a color chart on the same page. Its easy to use once you figure out the buttons. There are other cross stitch apps out there, but none that let you be creative and make your own pattern, not just create patterns from uploaded images.

Powerful and easy to use once you learn it

This is an excellent app for me. One minor issue is that the lines in the cross stitch functions are not useable for outlining or making fur or anything else. Overall great app to use! I really enjoy using it.

Help needs to be built in. Manual is crap.

Ive tried nearly every app out there (paid and free) looking for a good app for cross stitch design. This app has it all--setting frame size and selecting aida fabric type, a library of different floss colors from multiple brands, easy copy paste, easy line and shape drawing, the works. Absolutely recommend for cross stitchers, peelers, etc.

I had been using a combination of Adobe Illustrator and photoshop to make my cross stitch patterns but this has absolutely changed the game. At first glance I was taken aback by the price (in comparison to apps in general on the iTunes Store), but it is 100% worth it. If youre looking for a solid app to help design your patterns, I cannot recommend this highly enough.

I dont buy many apps, I prefer to use free ones when I can find them. When I came across this app, I read the description and all the reviews, and after a couple of weeks of contemplation, decided that it was worth trying out. I am so glad I did! It was a little hard to figure out the first time I used it, but after fiddling with it for a bit, I figured out the basic ins and outs of how to use it for what I needed. I am now on my second cross stitch project that I designed with this app. I can say with almost 99% certainty that I will most likely never buy another cross stitch kit again. I love being able to import any photo I want to the app, then tweak the design to my liking. As I am working my pattern to fabric, I add one extra color thread (Ive used red or pink to distinguish from the other stitches) to my pattern as a marker just so I know what stitches Ive already worked. So far Im extremely happy with this app, and and I plan on using it much more in the future.

This app saves the aggravation I had designing with graph paper and pencil. No more hours spent repositioning a complex design. Need to move a portion of your design by few squares? The answer is easy: highlight, cut, & paste. Halfway through design and realize you need a bigger grid? Altering your background is just as easy as entering numbers. Many features that are suitable for whatever craft you prefer. Choose your colors or symbols, even choose your background. Excellent zoom, erase, undo, redo. Also has a detailed reference manual accessible online, which can be downloaded. If you are into any art or craft which includes designing on a pixelated level, this is perfect.

Ok. So far Im loving this app. I just got it today, and its giving me everything I wanted this far. I am still exploring and creating. Thank you for creating this app!

As others have mentioned, there is a bit of a learning curve involved with this app. The users manual is great and its helped me a lot - every issue Ive encountered with not knowing how to do something is included in the manual. This app is saving me loads of time in creating patterns for my etsy store (Kirby Rae Designs) and is so much fun to use. Thanks for a great app!!

Love this App love the import

I am still trying to figure it out but as soon as I do I will rerate it.

I use this program for designing cross stitch patterns. It works well and I enjoy the portability of being able to design on-the-go with my iPad. I have used similar software programs via computer prior to finding this app, so I already had a general idea of how it should work. The reference guide has good illustrations and is helpful. I find that using a slim-tipped stylus works best for me when designing because it gives me more visibility than just using my finger. This app comes in handy when it is necessary to personalize a sampler with a name or when you want to make small modifications to an existing pattern. If you are on the fence about trying it, dont be. For cross stitch design you will most certainly get your moneys worth.
