How to Add Text to Your Patterns

1. Add Typography to Photos

Before uploading your image to our free pattern maker, use a basic photo editor (like Canva or Photoshop) to add your text. Use pixel or block fonts for the cleanest cross stitch text generator results.

2. Backstitch Letters

Traditional cross stitch letter generators often rely on backstitching for thin, elegant fonts. You can generate your main photo pattern first, then stitch the letters over it using free online alphabet charts.
