Question
Can I get a cross stitch pattern from a photo

Answer
Hello, Ariel

Yes, you can create a cross stitch pattern using PC Stitch, which I have.  Simply upload your image into your computer, and then import it into PC Stitch.  You can set up your pattern to show as many or as little colors as you'd like, and how clear you'd like the pattern to be.  Remember, when you choose the higher amount of stitches, your pattern will become more intricate to stitch (meaning you'll have 1 colored square, and then you'll switch to another colored square... Also known as confetti stitching).

Go to:  www.PCStitch.com and take a look at it.  I have it, and highly recommend it. :)

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. :)
