#ANNE COOK CROSS STITCH DESIGNER SOFTWARE#
Though you might think that designing your own cross stitch digitally is only for professionals, did you know there’s another way you can make your own cross stitch using a program you probably already have on your computer? That’s right, there’s no need to splash out on expensive design software if you have Microsoft Excel to hand – say goodbye to spreadsheets and hello to a whole new world of cross stitch pattern making! If you don’t have Microsoft Excel you can also follow the same principle online using Google Sheets (you just need a free Google account).
Then simply match these to your coloured pencils or pens, and you can start drawing! A shade card or skeins of your chosen thread colours is useful too, for picking the colours and combinations. You may have heard of, or even tried, the DIY method of creating your own cross stitch pattern using graph paper – all you need are some basic supplies to hand-draw your design with coloured pencils or pens on some gridded 10×10 graph paper. You’ll find loads of free cross stitch designs to try here on Gathered, but sometimes you might want to make your own cross stitch pattern and stitch exactly what you want when you want! You just need a little imagination and anyone can give it a try.
