Design and produce your own cross-stitch patterns with this easy-to-use application. PM Stitch Creator offers two interface styles, Windows-standard and the more pleasing graphic mode, and it's easy to switch back and forth to choose which one you feel more comfortable with. The program offers a Wizard to walk you through creating a new pattern, with options to import and adjust images, choose canvas size, style, and color, and choose thread count and color. There are a number of options for image file types, including JPEG, Adobe PhotoShop, and PCX. Once created, PM Stitch Creator offers some nice tools to view your pattern with color blocks, thread symbols, and as a finished product. You can use all of the program's features, including printing your finished patterns, with the 14-day trial version. This program is suitable for all users who would like to create cross-stitch patterns of their own design.
The file became corrupted. In the edit mode, I couldn't see the pattern because the gridlines were out of whack with each other - overlapping, etc. The problem kept getting worse, and after 6 days, the company has not replied. Also, it's difficult to choose a palate and color of thread. And, there's no ability to copy between projects. Very frustrating. Also, no direct way to move a part of the design.

Pros
I do like the graphics, it looks like a real cross stitch. The software is user friendly, easy to use, offcourse it could be better. I downloaded it to my home and work computers (don't tell to my boss:) I am so excited to start stitching my model.
Cons
However even they are the same program I couldn't open the project, which I did at home, from work. At home it gave me almost the real colors of the picture but at work for the same project it shows the red and yellow areas as the shades of brown.
Summary
One didn't give the real colors while the same other did. I couldn't open the project from other computer even they are the same software. I need an explenation about these issues before deciding to buy it or not?? Otherwise the graphics are good and this software is easy to use except the part of deleting backstitch.
it is a great program

Pros
I like the length of time available to try PM Stitch Creator. I am not a designer nor artist; the learning curve was not too bad.
Cons
It took me some time to figure out how to use an existing picture and have the program turn it into counted cross stitch for me. But I did figure it out!
Summary
I've only been using the demo version but am impressed compared to what I have read about other software. I have used lots of quilting software and this, to me, was easier. My requirements were small - just wanted to have a picture (graphic) turned magically into a counted cross stitch pattern I could print or see well on the monitor. PM Stitch Creator did just that for me. When I can find the money, I will be purchasing the program.
good product

Pros
I take a lot of photographs and wanted to find a program that would transform the photos into cross stitch with out loosing the pictures quality. I was very impressed with the fact that you can choose the amount of colors, stiches and size to achieve a more detailed piece of work. I am happy to have been able to try this software. I will definitly buy it.
