For an optimal custom cross stitch result, follow these simple image selection guidelines:
Choose a head shot or upper body photo with a simple background for maximum detail. Opt for good color and contrast between your subject and the background. Avoid selfies or close-up photos taken with flash as they may diminish color tones.
IN FIVE EASY STEPS, CREATE YOUR OWN CUSTOM CROSS STITCH MASTERPIECE:
Step 1. Click on "Choose Image" to start selecting your preferred photo. Although we accept all image qualities, we highly recommend choosing a vibrant, non-pixelated photo for an exceptional result.
Step 2. Next, choose your canvas size. A larger canvas (recommended minimum size of 40cm across) ensures greater detail retention. We will adjust your canvas to a landscape or portrait layout based on your uploaded image, unless you specify otherwise.
Step 3. It's time to select your thread count. The more threads you choose, the more detailed your final piece will be. If your chosen image is rich in detail and shades, we suggest going for a higher thread count! Then, choose your thread type according to your preference.
Step 4. Verify your image upload by ensuring a file is attached to your order. If it looks perfect, click "Add To Cart," or proceed to checkout instantly with your preferred payment provider.
Step 5. As you would normally, proceed to checkout. To ensure that everything has been set up correctly, you can also click or tap on the image link attached to your order to download and confirm the image we have for your custom cross stitch.
And just like that, you're all set! Start looking forward to your custom cross stitch kit arriving at your doorstep!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my photo actually work?
Most do. The best results come from a clear, well-lit shot with good contrast between your subject and the background — a face or two in sharp focus works best. Very dark, blurry or heavily flash-lit photos lose detail once they're charted.
If you're unsure, send it to us before you order and we'll tell you honestly whether it will stitch well — and suggest a size that suits it.
I've never cross stitched before. Is this too hard?
No. Your pattern comes pre-printed onto the Aida fabric and your threads arrive pre-sorted and labelled, so there's no counting from a blank grid and no guessing which colour goes where.
Cross stitch is a single repeated stitch — if you can thread a needle, you can do this. Choose 11 count for the largest, easiest squares to start with.
What's included in my cross stitch kit?
Each custom cross stitch kit includes: high-quality Aida fabric, pre-sorted DMC threads, a detailed pattern chart, a needle, and clear instructions. Everything you need to start stitching immediately!
How long does it take to stitch?
It depends on size and fabric count. As a rough guide, a 20x30cm (8"x12") portrait takes most people around 20–30 hours; a 40x50cm (16"x20") is more like 60–80 hours.
It isn't a weekend project — that's rather the point. Most people stitch a little each evening and finish over a few weeks.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are typically dispatched within 3-5 business days as each kit is custom-made. Delivery times vary by location - UK orders usually arrive within 5-7 days, international orders may take 10-14 days.
What fabric count should I choose?
For beginners, we recommend 11 count Aida - the larger squares make it easier to see where to stitch. More experienced stitchers often prefer 14 or 16 count for finer detail in their finished piece.
Can I change the size after ordering?
Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to modify your order. We can often accommodate changes before production begins, but once your pattern has been created and threads sorted, modifications may not be possible.

This is my second project from cross stitched and I absolutely love doing these custom ones!
I'm on my third project from Cross Stitched and I'm obsessed! This site has really stepped my cross stitching experience up to the next level! I'm starting to work on projects for family members now because their so impressed with the outcome!
So happy with the quality of this kit! Everything about it is perfect! There is plenty of threads and the quality is fantastic. As a first time buy I couldn’t be happier and I can’t wait to order another. I realise that a closer picture of the cats would’ve turned out better but I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. It’s one of my favourite pictures and I’m so happy I’ve got it stitched.
I must admit it was quite a task and at first I wasn't sure how it was gong to turn out but as you progress it all started to come together and I'm the end turned out fantastic. It was a Christmas present for my son and he was totally blown away by it.
BEAUTIFUL CROSS STITCH TO DO. FULLY PRINTED FROM PHOTO OF MY DOG AND MUCH EASIER THAN BLANK COUNTED CROSS STITCH. PROMPT SERVICE FROM ORDERING AND DELIVERY WAS QUICK. WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.
I did a picture of my mam with her grandkids for her birthday, she absolutely loved it! The pattern was really easy to follow and the materials were really good quality.
Great product and great customer service. They go above and beyond. This is my 10th kit from this company.
Excellent detail really enjoying this one
The quality has gone way down, the last, and I do mean last project i bought was not up to expectations and I received no helpful answers when I reached out. Very disappointed. As you can see the finished project on the left has far less detail the faces look funky and it took several back and forth emails to get colors right, in my latest project had the same problem and this time they are not working with me to get it right so I am done, will not be returning, and I dont reccomend purchasing their product
I LOVE working on my cross stitch kit. The pattern is clear and easy to follow, the threads are high quality and I can tell that the image is going to be beautiful. I struggle with ADHD and working on this project helps calm my mind when I am overwhelmed. I highly recommend!
We have been buying the kits for several years, I say we because I prepare the image, my wife completes the cross stitching and finally I frame them. All of the items are of good quality and well packaged, we normally request an electronic copy of the pattern as it makes it much easier to read. We have never been disappointed and the customer service is above and beyond.
I love it! I’ll send a photo when it’s completed! I’m sure I will use your services again. Thomas Murray
Have completed almost a dozen cross stitch photos! People that have lost their pets really appreciate and cherish their memories that I've created with your kits!
Enjoyed making this for my Granddaughter. She loved it
Excellent quality and reasonably priced. I've enjoyed many kits and currently working on one more! The ones I gifted are cherished!
It’s a simple wedding invitation. I understand that the uploaded image must have a lot of color variation in it, but It was obviously run through a software application and created without a human ever looking at it. If someone had just looked at it, it would have been obvious the image needed updating. For instance, why are there 10-15 colors where the writing is? Should be just black and white. So disappointed.
I've ordered and completed 5 so far. I'm always satisfied with the results!
I've purchased numerous kits and enjoyed them all!
It came out beautifully. This is my 4th from you and satisfied with all.
Very pleased with my cross stitch. Can’t wait to get it finished
I have two cats, and one watches the bird feeders every morning. The other is seeing impaired and can’t see them thru the window. I asked AI to create images of both of my cats enjoying the birds at the same window. I will complete these and give them to my grandkids when I pass away.
Just started this very large project 70cm x 90cm (151,000+ stitches) stay tuned for the finished project several months from now. Everything came well packaged and accurate
Just started doing this one but really enjoying doing it
Some of the many I've purchased and completed. I make them for people that have lost their pets as memorials. They are cherished!
I wasn't sure what to expect from my order, but I am SO pleased with the results. The color coded fabric is easy to use (no counting!!) and all the threads were well organized. I'm just started the project - hoping to work on it all winter. Such a better use of my time than "scrolling"! Thank you!!
Really enjoying doing this for my granddaughter
I sent this via email in reply to a email which told I’d get my next order free.
(Unfinished) It’s extremely large, more than I thought but it’s also challenging for me. (This one it’s not easy at all). I spend more than a year to get it done. It looks more like on the photo now. Some of the colors might not like the color on the photo but it’s an art and it goes well together. I’ll try to get it done soon.
Loved doing them my only challenge was they had both a + and a / in both blue and green and sometimes it’s very hard to tell, which is what colour
I really enjoy the completing the personal crossstitch, it does take a long time as I only do it for a couple of hours each day. The detail is excellent and there is always more than enough thread.
Sympathique
Loved doing this one
Can’t praise these people highly enough, I absolutely love these tapestries
Good
pas encore fait
Amazed at how realistic this looks. Very happy with it.
Have purchased multiple kits. Great quality, beautiful detailed print of photo. I've made several for friends who have lost their pets. Everyone was thrilled to receive these as my gifts to them. Will purchase your kits in the future.
Really enjoyed doing this one
Loved this kit, it was a gift and I enjoyed every minute. Looks so like my dog! Highly recommended, plenty of threads and so easy to follow.
