Cross-stitching is popular around the world, inspiring artists to create beautiful designs and impressions. For any of you who may not be familiar with it, cross-stitching is one of the easiest stitches to learn. You start with a simple “x” shaped stitch that is repeated over and over to create a certain design. Now you can do it virtually with the app Snap Stitch.

You can use the photo gallery in your phone or take a photo with your device's camera right through the Snap Stitch app. Once the image is open in the app you start virtually embroidering the image using a wide spectrum of colors to make it as accurate and beautiful as possible. Then you can share and print your embroidered piece. It's a great way to conceptualize what your real life cross-stitch will look like. But the virtual image is beautiful in its own right even if you decide not to do any real world cross-stitching. No need to worry about it taking too long, most stitches take less than a half-hour. You can use Snap Stich for fashion design and crafts like cards and bookmarks. The options are limitless.

It is available on iOS devices for free so head on over to the Apple Appstore today and search “Snap Stitch” to download it.
