Cross Stitch/Counted cross stitch computer programs

Question
I'm looking for a computer program that will let me make my own designs.  Pretty much I want something that is all inclusive; scan pictures, create my own design and a combination of the two.  For example I'd like to scan a picture or icon and change and manipulate it in the design.  And I'd like to be able to take pictures off the Internet and manipulate it in my design.  Is there any program that you know of that could do this for me?

Answer
Hello, Angela

I have PC Stitch on my computer, and it'll allow me to import images into it to create cross stitch patterns.

You can view it here:

I hope that helps.  Good luck, and happy stitching!

Sincerely,

Angela :)

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
