FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I make a pattern from a photo?
Yes. Choose an image you have permission to use, then select a size and color limit.
Why does my pattern have fewer colors?
The color limit simplifies an image into a manageable palette. Fewer colors can make a small pattern easier to stitch.
Are colors and stitch counts exact?
They are estimates to help plan a project. Check the grid and color legend before you begin stitching.
Can I use any image?
Use only images and text you have permission to use. Converting material into a pattern does not remove rights in the source.
