What you can do

Stitch your way

Stitch with a fingertip on iPhone or iPad. On iPad, Apple Pencil takes over the stitching as soon as it touches the canvas: hover shows the hole you're aiming for, and double-tap switches between needle and unpick.

Start anywhere

Pick a painted canvas, turn a photo or a stitch chart into a pattern, or design on a blank mesh in 10, 13 or 18 count.

Real threads

Photo colors are matched to actual DMC threads. Mark the skeins in My Stash and shopping lists ask only for what's missing.

Stitches that feel hand-made

Tent, cross, gobelin and French knot are free. In Hand-Stitched mode your pull sets each stitch's tension, and Even Tension keeps things neat while you get the feel of it.

Stitch it for real

Get a shopping list with DMC and Anchor numbers, canvas and stretcher bar sizes, plus a printable symbol chart.

New to needlepoint?

A two-minute practice lesson and a short primer on the craft, with a practice swatch for every stitch.

Folds with you

On iPhone Duo, stitch on either screen in any orientation. Half-fold it like a book and the controls sit on one side, the canvas on the other.

Made for everyone

VoiceOver can stitch the canvas and tell you when a color is finished. Voice Control, Dynamic Type, Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion and Smart Invert are supported throughout.

Questions

Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and iPad. Apple Pencil is optional: a fingertip works everywhere.
What does it cost?
The app, its painted canvases and the basic stitches are free, and so are your first five canvases from photos, charts or blank mesh. Two optional one-time purchases, with no subscription: Bodkin Pro (unlimited photo, chart and blank canvases, lettering names and dates onto a canvas, and the Stitch Pack stitches) and the Stitch Pack (Bargello, Brick, Mosaic, Scotch and Smyrna). Both work with Family Sharing.
Do I need an account?
No. Your projects stay on your device, and the app doesn't collect any data or show ads. See the privacy policy.
