Does anyone know the name of some software that will take a photo and grid
it for cross-stitch? I know there are people who will do this if you mail
them the photo. But I wonder if they are doing this in some computer
software or by hand.
Yes. I found several, and I liked the HobbyWare one best
(http://www.hobbyware.com/). I downloaded a demo for free and played with
it for a few days - all of the programs I found let me do that. But the
HobbyWare one had more range of possibilities than the other ones did, and
fewer limitations on my own fiber-artsy requirements. It's the only
program I tried where I could save the things I did in demo mode (I saved
in .jpg format instead of in their proprietary format). I liked the
interface better even tho I will probably never use most of the things the
program does. It also cost more than the other ones I found did.
There's also a thing called something like Trans Graph X which will allow
you to do your own gridding manually. It's a set of different gauge grids
printed on Mylar, which you put onto your image and go from there. I've
had one of these since before I ever got a computer. It's great if you can
use it, and was really cheap to buy.
You might also check with your local cross-stitch/needlepoint store. The
owner of my local one says she has a favorite, and I suspect some of the
kits she sells are a product of that program.
