Tips for logo & text patterns
Logos, lettering and clip art have flat areas of color, so they convert into very clean patterns with only a handful of flosses. Fewer colors means fewer thread changes, which makes these patterns great for beginners and for gifts with a team crest or a name.
Use the highest-resolution version of the logo you can find and set the number of colors to match the artwork — a two-color logo on a white background needs three colors at most. Strong confetti removal cleans up the anti-aliased edges that otherwise become a fringe of stray stitches.
Text needs enough stitches to be legible: as a rule of thumb, capital letters should be at least 7 stitches tall. Fine details such as thin outlines are often better stitched afterwards in backstitch than as full cross stitches.
Recommended settings
- Match the color count to the artwork
- Letters at least 7 stitches tall
- Add thin outlines later in backstitch
- Only stitch logos you have the right to use

FAQ
How do I make a logo & text cross stitch pattern?

Are my photos uploaded?
No. Your photo is processed entirely in your browser on your own device. It is never uploaded to a server, so private family and pet photos stay private.
How do I print the pattern or save it as a PDF?
Click "Print / Save PDF". The pattern is split into numbered pages with a cover page showing the preview, finished size and floss list. In the print dialog, choose your printer or "Save as PDF".
How accurate are the DMC colors?
DMC does not publish official RGB values, so all on-screen floss colors are close approximations. Colors are matched in the CIE Lab color space for perceptual accuracy, but always compare real skeins in daylight before buying in bulk.
