Make every pattern you want — no subscription
The pattern maker is free and your first PDF is complete. Pro is a one-time pass for when you make more than one.
✕ Make every pattern you want
For 30 days, a year or for good — one photo after another, every PDF printable.
✕ Fewer thread changes
Deeper clean-up merges lonely single stitches, so you stitch areas, not speckles.
✕ Stitch with the threads you own
Enter your floss box once: patterns can use only those colors.
✕ Know what to buy
Each pattern, or several together, lists the colors and skeins you still need.
✕ Names and dates, stitched in
Four stitched fonts that sit on the stitch grid; place them anywhere.
✕ Print it your way
Large symbols, one chart style, repeated rows and a color key on every page.
✕ Sell your own patterns
Your cover, back cover and logo, OXS files, several patterns in one ZIP.
✕ On every device
Patterns, stitch progress and your floss box, wherever you sign in.
Every Pro setting can be tried for free in the pattern maker: the preview changes straight away. Pro is only asked for when you download or save.

Questions
Does Pro renew?
No. Each pass is one payment. It ends on its own; there is nothing to cancel.
What happens when Pro ends?
PDFs you downloaded are yours. The pattern maker goes back to the free plan; your next PDF needs Pro again. Patterns and stitch progress in your account stay there: you can still open or delete them, and new changes are saved in your browser.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 14 days of paying, for any reason. Write to support@thecrossstitchpatternmaker.com. See the refund policy.
Which payment methods can I use?
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link on Stripe's secure payment page, which may show the price in your currency. In the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, Norway and Hong Kong you can also pay with PayPal, in US dollars. Either way, we never see your card details.
Do I need an account?
Only for Pro. You pay first; the account is created from the email you give at checkout (or your PayPal email), and you sign in with an email link.
Can I try Pro features first?
Yes. Switch any Pro option on in the pattern maker and the preview changes immediately. Pro is only asked for when you download or save.
