| Cross Stitch Professional v2000 - lets you create patterns for
cross stitch, tapestry, rug
making, and knitting. You can
import graphics files in
nearly 40 different formats,
scan photographs, or simply
draw your designs freehand. In
each case, the program asks
the size of pattern to be
created, and the number of
colors to use. Each color is
automatically matched to the
nearest available thread
colour in your chosen
manufacturers range. Color
ranges are built in from DMC,
Anchor, Paterna, Madeira,
Appleton, Goodwear, Readicut
Rug, Turkey Rug, Bramwell
wools, and others. You can
design in cross stitch, 1/4
and 3/4 stitch, half cross,
backstitch, french knots and
even beads in up to 220 colors
per design.The patterns it
creates let you see what the
stitched design will look
like. The program does not
only use colored squares or
symbols in a grid but actually
lets you design in crosses or
tapestry-style stitches on a
realistic background. You can
choose from aida, evenweave
(linen), tapestry canvas, rug
making canvas, plastic canvas,
grid, or plain background in a
variety of colours.Special
tools let you type in text and
have it converted to stitches,
fill irregular shaped areas,
easily swap colours, re-use
parts of one design in
another, move parts of the
design over the top of other
stitches and then move them
away again, resize areas,
assign symbols, and more. |
