I just spent an evening looking at YouTube crossstitching videos and looking around the Scarlet Quince site...
What can you tell me regarding pattern tracking programs? SQ has one they give away to customers that highlights all squares of a certain color, and one of the online lists showed a program that did that AND also showed most efficient thread route ... are there any others out there that work w/ any pattern?
Do any of you use an electronic format for your patterns?
Looking forward to what you have to say!

Re: Stitching Apps
I have something similar on my MacStitch program, but that's for creating designs, not tracking them. I confess to being totally in ignorance about these sorts of apps. How interesting!
Re: Stitching Apps
I'm clueless too, had no idea. Sounds cool tho.

Re: Stitching Apps
For some of my projects I use GoodNotes on my iPad, highlighting stitches as I go. For others, I'm still a paper and pencil girl.

Re: Stitching Apps
I store my patterns in PDF form, but I still print a hardcopy when stitching them using highlighters to mark done stitches and parked threads. I still use a flip phone, so no apps for me and my stitching station doesn't have room for a laptop.

Re: Stitching Apps
I have a tablet, but only use 3 applications on it - sorry 'apps'. It's a cut down word to represent cut down functionality. Very apt.
I do find it frustrating that the immense computing power of the tablet is crippled by both the operating system and the input methods.
Sorry I've wandered very off topic. A tracker is not an app I use, but it is functionality I have wondered about adding to my chart program on more than one occasion. To the extent it's item 70 odd on my list of program improvements (and I've got up to around number 50).
Regards
Richard.

Re: Stitching Apps
Like Debby I use Goodnotes for almost all of my projects now. Depending on the design, I will do my own routing of a color and then highlight it when finished. Its especially good in those confusing areas that have lots of confetti. It takes some time, but I think in the long run it actually saves time because once I start stitching I can keep to my route and at least it feels more efficient. And on the iPad it is very easy to make changes.
