Graph Paper Program Mac For Cross Stitch

Cross stitch - a review of Mac based design software. Nowadays, I don't have any computer software to design cross stitch on, although it can be done quite easily just with graph paper and some coloured pencils, that's how my first few designs back in 1994 were completed. Sometimes you just need to rechart the date on something, or maybe you want to use a different color or add small detail like your name to a piece, or maybe you want to chart a small motif for a custom piece – you need a sheet of graph paper or some type of grid to. The cross stitch design element is limited as again, I couldn't find how to add any backstitch, but this program does cater for knitting, crochet, long stitch, hardanger and as mentioned above, tapestry and bead weaving, so is a very versatile pattern design system.

There is a quote I'd like to cross-stitch for my aunt for Christmas. I have lots of experience with doing cross-stitch from patterns, but zero artistic ability when it comes to creating something from scratch that looks the way I want it to. Is there an easy way for me to generate a pattern? Like, something where I can choose a font and maybe some little accent details and put it together and it gives me a pattern? Mine is a Linux/Android household, but I could probably borrow something from a friend if there's a great Windows/Mac/iOS application.The quote, for the curious:
Grant me the wine to accept the things I cannot change, and the coffee to change the things I can.
There's a site here that lets you create a cross-stitch design.

I think a lot of people use PCStitch. I haven't done this in a long time, and last time I tried it I thought the software was clunky. I am really picky about how my cross-stitch fonts look, I usually end up using graph paper and writing the words out and then cutting and pasting the words on another piece of graph paper. There are a ton of free fonts out there, including some on my favorite Subversive Cross-Stitch.
(also that is a great quote and gift idea)

Yeah there are web-based generators but I never found any of them to work very well personally. Usually for projects like that I do the design manually...as in pick out a cross stitch alphabet I like and work out the design I want. I am on a mac and there is only like 1 or 2 programs, both retailing for like 30$ which was more than I wanted to spend for a hobby so I use a pixel/sprite editor (Pixen for the mac I think) which works pretty well and is free. I imagine there are similar programs with a linux port.

PCStitch. You can use the trial version to create charts, but you can't save them ... which is fine as long as you're willing to create the chart in one go, or can leave the program open on your computer. You can download the trial version (no save function) here. I think it comes with several installed stitch alphabets, and some decorative thingies, so you can experiment with what they already have.
I own PCStitch Pro, and have for several years (like, at least 12 years), they are very good with customer service and with free upgrades to new versions for existing users. (I probably paid $20 for it initially and in 12 years I've paid for a $10 upgrade one time, to move from standard to pro when they did a total revamp of the software.) There is a learning curve and lots of features I never, ever bother with, but it is the best at what it does. Anyway, if I can help you out at all with a chart, I'd be happy to do that, although I am not even a little artsy.

There are free x-stitch alphabets available online. I normally print out a copy, look at that for reference, and use graph paper + colored pencils to plot it out.

I also make mine the old-fashioned way. Pick out a font you like, grab some graph paper and a pencil and just work it out.

I'm gonna suggest the old fashioned route and recommend that you go to a craft store/hobby shop and look at sampler books. They usually have a good variety of alphabets. [granted, it's been years since I've really looked at them, so programs like PCStitch might've reduced the demand for them significantly]
