Not at all. Pattern mills are shops that sell digital PDF patterns created using stolen artwork or concepts. The owners of these shops often don’t cross stitch themselves, which can lead to various issues when stitching their patterns.
We’ve been cross stitching for 25 years, long before we started designing our own patterns. While part of our design process involves using exclusive software not available to the public, like PC Stitch, we go a step further by enhancing each pattern by hand. This includes removing confetti stitches, refining the design, and perfecting the details—a process that can take up to 6 hours per pattern. Our goal is to ensure that the cross-stitching experience is truly enjoyable.
