What is ‘Pattern Keeper’ App?
Pattern Keeper is a smartphone app that helps you manage and track your cross stitch projects.
We believe that Pattern Keeper greatly enhances your stitching experience so we include an extra ‘Pattern Keeper chart’ with every cross stitch pattern that we sell.
We test all our charts in the Pattern Keeper app before publishing in the store. When you buy cross stitch pattens from us, you know they’ll work in the app.
If you haven’t used or heard of Pattern Keeper before now, we encourage you to check it out. It really is a game-changer, especially if you are stitching large, full coverage projects.
If you use a highlighter to mark off the areas you’ve already stitched on paper patterns you’ll love using Pattern Keeper App.
