Hi Cath; there's no dates on these comments so I hope that you are still out there. My name is Heather and I am trying to get started with the same thing. I bought a program called PCStitch Pro. I'm still playing with it but I'll give you my email address. Shoot me an email and we can chat. I will let you know how well it works and whether ts worth the money. osbornohana@yahoo.com

Cinlea,

The Internet is a great resource for sharing patterns and ideas with other crafters. Try starting your own blog or Web site, then promoting your work on forums relating to cross stitching.

I have created a large number of my own cross stitch patterns. How do I get them published so I can start my own line of patterns or kits?

Cath,

I have just started using Pattern Maker for Cross Stitch, from Hobbyware. I've just finished converting a load of my own art (either automatically or as a trace) and I've just designed one from scratch :)

You might be looking for something else; but I found that one a good one out of all the trials of software that I had.

Hi, I am hoping to design/develop some cross stitch/embroidery patterns which I would like to get made up so that the 'finished' product can be seen. Also, just so I can reassure myself that the finished product is what I want it to be! Eventually it would be rather good to have a small from home business going with the designs packaged into craft kits etc. Could you recommend a piece of software and some guidelines on how to go about testing the finished pattern, and packaging...

Thanks!
