Printable cross stitch chart

Use the stitch-chart task when the pattern is right but the printable page still needs a cleaner output format.

Fix actual-size printing

Use the guide when a stitch grid or counted chart shrinks and becomes harder to follow after printing.

Labs tool – verify before productionCheck critical sizes with a physical ruler

This tool is part of our Labs collection and is still under active refinement.

It is great for exploration, prototyping, and teaching, but you should validate dimensions with a physical ruler before relying on it for client work, manufacturing, or assessments.

For graph paper and drafting layouts, confirm that grid spacing and margins match your internal standards before using them in production workflows.
