for iPad1 and iPad2.
A new app for the iPad, from Ursa Software (More devices soon!)
The easy, affordable way to create cross stitch patterns wherever you are.
- Design on screen in simulated stitches, or in symbol view.
- Stitch straight from the screen, with on-screen highlighting so that you know which parts are completed.
- Save your work as you go.
- Optional add-on program for Mac or Windows: Convert your design into a PDF file for publishing to the web.
- Charts can be opened in MacStitch or WinStitch 2012 (v7.2 onwards) for more work.
- Online library of free designs: contribute your own, and help us build up a free pattern library for everyone!
What is it all about?
Cross Stitch 2 Go is a portable design tool for creating your own cross stitch charts.
It’s not intended to be a cross stitch design library: (there are many books available for that), but the free downloadable designs will build up a library over time.
You can design in colour or in black an white symbols.
Then, when it’s time to stitch, you can switch to ‘markup mode’, and mark squares on screen as you stitch the design: no more paper needed!
The app ships with the current set of DMC thread definitions, as the most popular thread manufacturers around. (Most other makers will supply conversion charts on demand, or on the internet)
Selling your work, or printing for your own use:
If you do want to sell your work, or want a hard copy printout, you will need to own a copy of MacStitch or Winstitch from version 7.1 or later.
Or for a budget solution, you can use the XS2GO_PDF utility which simply opens the XS2GO charts, and lets you print or save to PDF in the same manner as MacStitch or WinStitch. Again, with the emphasis on simplicity!
Utility on sale from here : only £2.99!
(note: this is an add-on for the iPad app, it is not the app itself - that is only available through the App Store)
