Silk: Cross Stitch Patterns

I’m a person that hates change. Modern Folk Embroidery has easily become my favorite designer but I was disappointed to find that Jacob didn’t have physical copies of his designs for sale on his website. I love this app because it’s so easy to use and now I can stitch designs from my favorite company. I will give you another star if you can get Benvenuti my most favorite chart from Modern Folk Embroidery. Thanks so much for making my favorite designs accessible.

First off, let me say I didn’t expect to like this app but I do! I downloaded it to use for the free Shooting Stars pattern after struggling with the .jpg files they offered via their blog. I don’t really care about tracking my stitches per day or hours stitched — if that’s your thing, this app calculates it for you. I do like how it’s easy to “highlight” what you’ve stitched (something I do on physical charts). I also like that there are fabric size calculations and estimates for amounts of floss needed based on fabric count but I wish it would calculate for 28 ct linen (currently stops at 32 ct). There are a variety of charts available for purchase from a small selection of European designers. I’m undecided if I’ll make future purchases thru the app or order physical copies. There is a print option via the app if you feel the need to print a hard copy. What keeps this from being a five-star app is the lack of syncing between devices. I have been using my iPad to work on a project but there are times I don’t want to schlepp it along with me. It’d be nice if I could open the app on my phone and have my progress synced. At this point, it’s not worth having the app on multiple devices.

This is a great App for stitchers because it keeps count on the stitches that you have made and the time that you have put in. This App is for using the patterns that are available on their app some are free and of course some are don’t and thats the beauty of it, It has a lot to choose from and is very fair to pay for them especially when you can highlight your progress and keep count and a very realistic statistic on how long it will take to finish it if you keep your stitching going. Love that. And customer service is amazing I had to reach out because I made a big mistake and had to start all over and even do you can erase you highlighted stitches the clock countdown will keep the same and they added that feature in just a few days. There could be some improvement like been able to sync my progress on both my Ipad and Iphone without needing to put in my self and please make it available to other platform users not only iOS because this is a great app for stitching and everyone should have it.
