Questions answered

Can I try it before paying?
Yes. You can create and edit a pattern completely for free. A subscription is only required when you want to export and download your finished pattern.
Is there a limit to how many patterns I can make?
No. An active subscription gives you unlimited pattern generation, editing, and exports.
Can I create a pattern without a photo?
Yes. Use the 'From scratch' mode to start with a blank canvas and draw your own design cell by cell — great for custom lettering, geometric designs, or original artwork.
What file formats can I export?
You can export a print-ready PNG or a formatted PDF. Both include your full color key with DMC thread codes, ready to take to any craft store.
What photos work best?
Clear photos with good contrast work best. Portraits, pets, and simple landscapes give the cleanest results. The more detail in the photo, the more stitches you'll need.
Do I need any special materials to stitch?
You'll need Aida cloth, an embroidery hoop, and DMC thread in the colors listed on your pattern. All available at any craft store or on Amazon.
Can I edit my pattern after generating it?
Yes — that's the whole point. Open any pattern in the editor, zoom in, paint individual cells, swap colors across the entire pattern at once, and save as many times as you like. Your changes save automatically.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, anytime. Your patterns and edits are saved to your account and remain accessible. You can resubscribe whenever you want to export again.
