Everything you need to create beautiful cross stitch
Cross Stitch GEM is a dedicated design environment for creating machine embroidery that looks like hand cross-stitch. Use it standalone, then import your finished designs into Hatch to convert and stitch out.
Auto-fill from artwork
Import your own drawings, photos, or existing cross-stitch patterns and convert them to cross-stitch designs with a single click. The tools handle color separation and fill automatically.
Hand-stitch digitizing tools
Digitize cross-stitch designs stitch by stitch using tools designed for how cross-stitch actually works. Freehand shapes, solid fills, pencil tool - just like digitizing in Hatch, but purpose-built for cross-stitch.
10 authentic stitch types
Choose from 10 different cross-stitch types that replicate the look of real handwork - from standard full crosses to quarter stitches, three-quarter stitches, and specialty variations.
TrueType lettering
Add cross-stitch lettering directly on screen using any TrueType font installed on your computer. Letters are automatically converted to cross-stitch-style characters.
Seamless Hatch integration
