Cross Stitch
From pixel to thread.
Design cross stitch patterns the pixel art way. Every pixel is one stitch, so you can plan your whole design in Novaboard and print a clean pattern to follow at the hoop.
One pixel, one stitch
Novaboard's pixel canvas maps directly to counted cross stitch fabric. Set your canvas to your stitch count, zoom in to see individual cells clearly, and draw with full precision. What you design is exactly what you stitch.
Real thread brands, matched automatically
When you export a chart, Novaboard maps every color in your design to the nearest thread in your brand of choice (DMC, Anchor, Madeira, or Cosmo) and lists each one with its stitch count, so you can plan your thread purchase before you start.
Print a clear pattern
Export a chart as a PNG or a multi-page PDF sized to your fabric count. Each color becomes a symbol on the grid, with a legend that maps symbols to thread codes, so it is easy to follow stitch by stitch at the hoop.
