Needlepoint Studio Designer

Professional needlepoint charting for Mac and iPad. Match real threads, chart from a photo, open and export existing chart files, and sync every design across devices.

Turn any idea into a needlepoint chart. Needlepoint Studio is a professional charting studio for Mac and iPad - paint on the grid, match real thread colors, chart from a photo, and export print-ready patterns, all in sync across your devices.

Made by needlepoint designers, for needlepoint designers.

BRING YOUR EXISTING WORK

• Open MacStitch and WinStitch (.chart) files, so the pieces you've already made come with you.
• Open Open Cross Stitch (.oxs) files too, so work from other charting software comes with you as well.

DESIGN WITHOUT LIMITS

• Work in layers: put every element on its own layer and move, restack, and rearrange it freely, without redrawing.
• Repeat a motif across a belt, a border, or any canvas in a single click.
• Add lettering in any font - straight or curved onto an arch - for names, monograms, and titles.
• Prep a canvas for production in seconds: blank grid, your signature, and your palette, all a click away.
• Save templates for the sizes and setups you come back to again and again.

SEE IT BEFORE IT'S STITCHED

• Preview any design three ways: the block chart, rendered tent stitches, or a realistic painted-canvas mockup - so you and your customer can see exactly how the finished piece will look.

REAL THREADS, TRUE COLORS

• Match real thread colors from DMC, Silk & Ivory, Planet Earth, Appleton Wool and more.
• Import a photo and turn it into a chart automatically.

STITCH RIGHT FROM YOUR SCREEN

• Paint mode shows live stitch counts as you work, so you can stitch or paint straight from your iPad.
• Design on your Mac and pick it up on your iPad: your work syncs seamlessly between them.

EXPORT & SHARE

• Print at true finished size - lay the canvas mesh right over the printout and paint your sample by hand.
• Bigger than one page? Print across tiles you tape together into a full-size template, or send one large sheet to a wide-format printer.
• Export clean, print-ready PDFs and charts - color, symbols, or both - ready for production or the customer.
• Export Open Cross Stitch (.oxs) files: send your charts straight to painting services, or any software that reads OXS.
• Export a finished-size image of your design - flat color, painted canvas, or tent stitches - ready to print or share.

Your designs stay yours: each chart is saved as a file in a folder you choose (iCloud Drive or Dropbox), so your work travels with you and syncs across devices.

A serious tool, made with the care of people who actually stitch.
