StitchMeGifts Cross Stitch Pattern Subscription Service

I have a few hobbies to help me wind down at the end of the day. Sometimes I like to read, other times I either crochet or I cross stitch. But buying books with cross stitch patterns can become expensive and there aren’t a lot of free patterns out there. That’s why I loved finding out about StitchMeGifts.

StitchMeGifts is a cross stitch pattern subscription service. They have lots of Free patterns in one place! They have patterns for every holiday too, which is exactly what I was looking for. It’s super easy and the supplies you need are easy to come by.

They offer 3 subscriptions:

Monthly $4.99:

• Over 100 PDF patterns available.
• 3 NEW patterns available each week.
• Plan renews monthly but you can cancel at anytime.
• Includes a 30 day FREE trial.

Yearly $24.99:

• Download over 100 cross stitch patterns.
• New patterns available weekly.
• Renews yearly but you can cancel anytime.

And Lifetime $124.99:

• Download every pattern forever.
• Pay once and never pay again.
• Massive lifetime account.
• Perfect for serious cross stitchers.

All of their cross stitch patterns are highly detailed, 100% original, and designed in house. They offer a complete range covering Christmas, Halloween, Birthdays, Baby’s and many many more. I especially like that they have cross stitch patterns available for people of all skills and ability from simpler starter patterns up-to large format master pieces that will take time and skill to complete.

Aside from being a subscriber you only need a few more things to get started…

Those supplies would be: Embroidery floss (this one is my favorite), Aida cloth (I use this one) and an Embroidery Hoop (here’s one I like).

Once you have downloaded your pattern you will see that it has a color chart, this is also easy to know which color to use. Here is an example in this picture.

Things I liked:

• All patterns are designed for 16 count thread (14, 18, 20+ are available upon request) although I did  do 1 pattern meant for 16 on 14 count thread and it still came out beautiful.
• I didn’t find any mistakes on either of the 3 patterns I tested, however should you spot a mistake in one of their patterns, you “win” a 3-month subscription to the service! It’s StitchMeGifts‘ way of thanking customers for helping to make the designs perfect. 
• They offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee with a full refund available within 30 days of signing up

Things to keep in mind:

• All patterns are available via PDF download only, however if you like to work with hard copies just print is out. 🙂
• New patterns are added every week

Last thoughts… I really enjoy this website and even though I tested it out using the monthly subscription I have upgraded to the yearly subscription! They both have their good points (that I have mentioned above) but I enjoy the yearly one more because there are more options in patterns. 🙂
