MacStitch

MacStitch is an awesome macOS app that gives you everything you need to design for counted-thread embroidery. If you're into creating cool embroidery designs, this tool is perfect for you!

User-Friendly Interface

One of the best things about MacStitch is its super easy-to-use interface. You can quickly import clip art, scanned photos, or any images and turn them into print-ready designs. Isn’t that neat?

Transforming Images into Patterns

You can take simple images and convert them into patterns to fit your style! Plus, you have the option to pull images straight from your Mac’s clipboard or even scan directly within MacStitch. How convenient is that?

Create from Scratch or Import

If you're feeling creative, you can make a pattern from scratch! But if you'd rather use something already there, the Image Import Wizard lets you change any picture into a raster-like pattern in no time.

Customizable Designs

You get to play around with chart sizes, adjust stitch counts, pick out how many thread colors to use, and choose your favorite thread types. It really puts you in control!

Edit with Ease

The editing tools are fantastic! You can draw full stitches, half stitches, beads, knots, backstitches, and even geometric shapes. When you're done designing, exporting your work as a PNG or PDF file takes just a few clicks.

Edit Menu Features

The Edit menu offers tons of features like loading motifs to the clipboard, flipping and rotating selected areas, erasing French knots and backstitches, adding borders, resizing elements—you name it!

Toolbar Menu Options

With the Toolbar menu at your fingertips, switching between full and half stitches is simple. You can also change brush types and add letters or shapes easily.

Handy Tools for Every Need

MacStitch includes super helpful selection tools along with an eraser and search-and-replace options. Plus, there are multi-level undos if you ever make a mistake—no worries!

Palette Management Made Easy

The Palette menu makes it a breeze to add or edit threads. You can flash active stitches on screen too! Replacing threads or reordering the palette is just as easy as pie.
