There are two ways of creating
designs in the Cross Stitch software:
- Design is created manually by drawing dots
(crosses) either on a blank background or on an image (template, scanned
chart).
- Design is created automatically (autodigitizing) from
imported background image.
In both cases, program automatically generates
stitches in crosses and arranges them to optimize the sewing
process. It is possible to import the scanned chart (hand graph) and
calibrate it properly to fit the background of work area, then manually draw the
dots (crosses) using the chart in the background and finally compile the design
into stitches. |
| Many editing
tools are available for creation and adjustment of designs:
marquee, lasso, magic wand, zoom lens, eye dropper, smooth,
pencil, brush, air-brush, text, line, simple curve, rectangle, round rectangle, ellipse,
star, regular polygon, fill area, clear area,
etc. The pre-defined fill patterns are available, and user can
even create his/her own fill patterns. There are also some special functions like 'Clear isolated points' or
' thin lines' and 'Smooth' parts by adding quarter crosses to corners,
which allow user to clear and optimize the cross stitch design.
The order in which the colors are sewn can be prescribed. |
