Introducing Stitch Crafts Viewer



Have you ever wanted to share your Stitch Crafts Gold or Stitch Crafts Pro charts with family and friends? Email the chart you're working on to your partner? Start a website where you could display and distribute your charts to customers? Well, now you can, using the Stitch Crafts Viewer program for Windows and Macintosh.

What is the Stitch Crafts Viewer program?

Available for both Windows and Macintosh, Stitch Crafts Viewer (SCV) is a freely distributed program for viewing and printing Stitch Crafts Gold (Windows) and Stitch Crafts Pro (Macintosh) project files. The Windows version can also import and print the original Stitch Grapher and Stitch Grapher Plus charts. The Macintosh version is compatible with all versions of Stitch Crafts and Stitch Crafts Pro projects. Since SCV is freeware, now anyone can view and print charts that were created on Stitch Crafts Gold or Stitch Crafts Pro even if they don't own the original design program.

There are absolutely no restrictions on this :-). To share the chart, provide a link to the corresponding Stitch Crafts Gold project file (<xxx>.scw) so it can be downloaded to your friend's computer. Finally, tell your friends how to download the free Stitch Crafts Viewer program which they will need to display and print the charts they get from your web site. If you wish to display your charts on your web site, just export them to a BMP file from Stitch Crafts Gold. You'll need to convert the BMP file to a GIF format using a third party graphics conversion program, such as the popular shareware program "PaintShop Pro". Once converted to GIF format, you can include them as a picture on your web page.
