Two ways in

An Abris Art kit

Every Abris Art cross-stitch kit has a QR code. Scan it and the chart of exactly that kit opens.

  1. Scan the QR on the kit card with your phone camera.
  2. The chart opens with the thread numbers printed in your kit, DMC alongside.
  3. Stitch and mark what you have done.

No QR to hand? Type the kit code in the app.

Any other chart

Bought a pattern from a designer? Import the file and stitch it the same way.

  1. Choose the chart file in the app.
  2. The app reads the chart, checks it against the key and shows you what it found.
  3. Stitch and mark what you have done.

Formats

  • PDF, including scanned charts
  • OXS
  • XSD from Pattern Maker, converted on our server (needs internet once)

Built around the chart in your hands

  • The key in your kit's order

    Threads numbered 1, 2, 3 and on, exactly as printed in the kit, with the DMC number, strands and how many stitches of each colour are left.

    The thread key: kit numbers 16 to 23, DMC numbers, strands, a progress bar and stitches left for each colour.

  • One colour at a time

    Pick a thread and the other colours fade. One tap jumps to the next stitch of that colour.

    Thread 18 selected: stitches left, stitched and total, with buttons to show all colours and mark all of this colour in view.

  • Mark the way you stitch

    Tap a cell, drag across an area or fill a whole 10×10 square. Undo is one tap away. Park a thread in a cell corner and come back to it later.

    A long press on a cell opens a menu: park the thread in this corner, mark the 10×10 square, mark the rest of the row.

  • Know when you will finish

    Stitches done and left, per colour and per day. After a few stitching days the app estimates your finish date.

    Statistics: 46.6% done, 216 of 300 stitches today, 287 a day on average, estimated finish date and a calendar of stitching days.

  • Easy on the eyes

    Light or dark theme, and a high-contrast chart with black symbols and a bold grid.

    The chart in the dark theme with the thread key at the bottom.

Shown on the chart: full, half, quarter and three-quarter stitches, petites, backstitch, french knots, beads and blends.

Free, with no catch

  • Free

    Every Abris Art pattern and importing your own files. No subscription, no paid features.

  • No ads

    Nothing between you and the chart.

  • No account needed

    Open the app and stitch. An account is only for having your progress on more than one device.

Your progress stays with you

One progress on iPhone, iPad and Android

Sign in with Apple, Google or email and the stitches you mark on the phone are on the tablet too. Stitched on both while offline? The marks merge when you are back online.

The app on a tablet: the chart on the left, the thread key with stitches left per colour on the right.

Works offline

Once a chart is downloaded, it opens without the internet. No licence check can lock your project.

Progress is never lost

Saved after every mark, even if the battery dies mid-row.

Every file has to open

A chart that does not open is a bug on our side, not a problem with your file.

  1. If the app cannot read part of a chart, it tells you plainly what and where.
  2. The app sends us the report together with the file.
  3. We fix the reader and add the file to our test set, so it does not break again.
