THIS IS SO MUCH AWESOME
Thank you for doing this. Will be a great life-saver when working on my own patterns.  Still need to fiddle a bit around to get sizes that won't make you end up with a 100cmx100cm results

Hey this really helps, but, where do you find the tool that replaces the images with a pattern, for the black and white printing? I only have Photoshop CS 3, if that helps...

I've been seriously considering taking up cross-stitching as a hobby, and you've kinda cemented the idea into my brain. Awesome tutorial, super-easy to follow!

In Photoshop Elements you have to use the 'mosaic' effect and set the cell size somewhere between 4 and 10. ^_^

I was afraid I'd lost the only way I've found to make a proper cross-stitch pattern in Photoshop, and then I found that this does still work with CS5. Yay!

very cute! I might get into this I m pretty sure i made a 'mug rug' like this for my grammy once its really addicting! Anyways, i was wondering how youd do this if you stitched 2 colors on the same square?

kittykatklub1 In reply to kittykatklub1 [2011-02-26 03:52:02 +0000 UTC]

btw! i suggest for some people if they really dont want to make their own, there are some extensive perler beads patterns that they can find with a bit of research - basically the same thing
Do you have to have a ring when doing stitching?

Thanks so much for this! I just got started into cross-stitching and bet this will be fun when I'm more skilled. Also, I bet I can make it work just fine with GIMP.

Thanks again!

puppyrock3 [2010-06-11 02:34:36 +0000 UTC]

This helps me a lot!
I was just going to tell you, though, that even though you've set the lines to pixels, you could make the boxes around the area larger so that you wouldn't have to do so many stitches. (I hope that made sense!)

Omi-god. THIS IS GREAT... i never thought of it. im a huge fan of cross stitching but buying them in store is like AUD$ for an A4 pattern, which is rather costly and the images are quite limited. So this is great, Thanks so much ~!

Hi I found this extremely useful but after you do that how do you know what colours to use and if they're the right ones?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RainCookie In reply to misteriouseyes [2009-08-18 01:34:50 +0000 UTC]

There are several companies online that have a color chart online, so you can easily match it with that if you're making your own pattern with your own color palette.

Personally I try to match the pattern colors to the colors that I already have (since I don't want to buy excess threads). Don't know if that made much sense, but I guess the best way to put it is that you have to try and guess.
