1 Describe your subject
Style & Skill Level
Text that must stay legible (optional)
If your artwork includes a sign, label, or other prominent words that need to be exactly readable, add lettering blocks for them below -- one per phrase (like a small "OPEN" sign separate from the main storefront sign). Each is sized automatically for legibility; you place it by clicking on the artwork.
Click + Add lettering block, type the exact text, then click the spot on the artwork above where it belongs. Once placed, drag the block to move it, use arrow keys while it's focused, or the Edit / Move / Remove buttons below.
Drag a block on the artwork above to move it -- there's nothing to resize, its size is automatic.
Click anywhere on the artwork above to place this text.
Enter the exact text, then place it on the artwork:
Letters, numbers, spaces, and - ' & ! . , only. Stitched in capital letters exactly as typed, wrapped onto a second centered line automatically if that keeps it more compact.
2 Configure the pattern
Pattern Options
Generating a pattern produces two Pattern Keeper-importable PDFs: a Pattern Overview and a Stitching Chart.
Learn more about the two PDFs
Chart type and a backstitch layer aren't configurable yet. Generating a pattern produces two PDFs, both importable into the Pattern Keeper app: a Pattern Overview (title page, full-color one-page design preview, symbol key & thread requirements, shopping list) and a Stitching Chart (title page, symbol key & thread requirements, shopping list, and the paginated black-and-white chart you'll stitch from).
