Managing Cross Stitch Designs

Learn how to open cross stitch designs and new windows, how to save and export cross stitch designs, how to combine your cross stitch designs, and how to add notes to them. Cut, copy, paste and duplicate your cross stitch designs, and undo and redo your changes.

Start a new design with New. This starts the Cross Stitch Design Assistant where you can create a new design automatically, load a picture for a new design, load an existing design or start a new design with no picture.

When starting from a blank design, create using any drawing, pattern, shape or lettering feature. However, it is also common to follow a picture. Use the Load Picture for New Cross Stitch Design option of the Cross Stitch Design Assistant to open or scan a picture to follow.

Note: To create or edit your own picture, use mySewnet™ Draw & Paint, or another image editor.
