Free Cross Stitch Tools: Converters, Calculators and Printables

Every cross stitch project starts with the same questions: how big, how much floss, which hoop, what’s the DMC for this, and do I already own it.

StitchThis offers tools that make answering these questions easier: the entire cross stitch workflow, all in one place.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to use these cross stitch tools?

Not for most. The floss converter, the DMC and brand conversion charts, the calculator, the skein and hoop charts, the graph paper and the floss checklist work without an account. The pattern makers, the text generator, the floss stash tracker and the PDF pattern tracker need a free StitchThis account.
