Are these DMC thread numbers?
No. The palette contains calculated screen colors. Use actual thread swatches or a trusted thread chart to choose materials.
Can I fix a stray stitch?
Yes. Select a palette color and click the cell. Undo is available for the last 500 edits. Download the updated pack to save changes.
Does it save my progress automatically?
Progress stays in the current tab. Download the updated pack and reopen its project.json later to retain edits and completed stitches.
What stitch types are supported?
Full crosses only. Half stitches, backstitch, beads and fractional stitches are not generated.
