Stitch Painter Overview

Cross Stitch Software MacStitch and WinStitch Over the last 25 years, we have developed MacStitch (for Apple Macs) and WinStitch (for Windows machines). Same great app, one for each kind of computer! Current Version: 2021 (V16.x) - Mac works on all OSX from 10.9 onwards including Catalina/Big Sur and M1 devices. Windows from Windows 7 upwards, including. The app lets you import scanned photos or clip art, chooses suitable colors for you, and converts these into designs, then lets you print out the designs in a variety of easy-to-read pattern styles on your own printer, together with an estimate of the amount of thread used. StitchCraft is a Windows software for charting: Cross Stitch, Hardanger, Rug Hooking, Tapestry, Long Stitch, Beading, Needlepoint, Canvas work, and Knitting. Design your own patterns for knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, or needlepoint. With the Cross Stitch Maker app for an iPad or iPhone, sketch your own designs and generate a cross-stitch pattern. Craft Design Online has an online tool to create designs for crafts such as cross-stitch, tapestry, beading, rug making, weaving and knitting.

Stitch Painter Overview offers information on Cochenille’s grid-based design software for knitting beading and stitching. There are many fine paint programs out there, but in our world of textile and craft design, we soon found that no single program could do everything Cochenille Design Studio needed it to do. So we did something about it! We developed Stitch Painter.This fabulous grid-based design tool is specifically geared to the needs of textile and craft designers of all sorts and we made it so user-friendly, you scarcely need a manual. Stitch Painter will open endless doors to your creativity, tailoring itself to any design goal that uses a grid, from knits to beading, weaving to tapestry, and cross-stitch to needlepoint, plus others.

Stitch Painter 3 Gold operates in a color-grid world and everything is counted in stitches and rows. The grid may be setup as square or rectangular, and thus you can use the software for multiple textile arts. We also include a Symbols panel and a Textures panel so you can design with these as well. Various Plug-in modules customize Stitch Painter further for certain end uses such as stitchery, beading or intelligently importing and color reducing graphic images.
You may print directly from Stitch Painter or export in standard formats, thus allowing you to take imagery to publishing packages or other programs.

Stitch Painter 3 Gold is available for Windows and Macintosh computers.

Security
Stitch Painter uses a USB dongle key by Hasp. You may install the software on your desktop and your portable and move the key back and forth. This is the same key system we use with Garment Designer. Those of you who own Garment Designer 2.5 or greater, may choose to update your existing key so both programs will run. Please contact us at Cochenille to perform a remote update. info@cochenille.com
