I just published StitchBuddy's new major release, introducing a feature often requested and long awaited: It took me a year to design, develop and test, but finally with StitchBuddy 3.0 you can create simple shapes using some vector drawing capabilities. These shapes can be outlined with running or zigzag stitches, or filled with Tatami patterns. Additional information about defining shapes and how to outline / fill a shape is published in two dedicated FAQ articles, and please enjoy a series of video tutorials as a preview or to learn the details.

As this is StitchBuddy's first step into digitizing I'd like to learn about your experiences - good and bad - so every feedback is highly appreciated: It helps me to further improve the app, and I'd like to work on more digitizing features to come.

StitchBuddy 3.0 is available in Apple's Mac App Store and - although it's a leap forward - a free update for all customers.

Enjoy …. and be even more creative!
