Main Areas

  • Pattern name and top controls: Stitch view, tile preview, crop, and shift functions.
  • Editable grid
  • Color selector
  • Icon/symbol selector
  • Action toolbar

Grid Basics

  • Tap a cell to apply selected color + icon
  • Active row/column highlighting helps orientation
  • Edge labels support row and column counting

Toolbar Actions

  • Erase cell
  • Zoom in / reset zoom
  • Fill all / clear all
  • Fill active row / clear active row
  • Undo / redo

Editing tip: Build shape first, then add symbols where stitch behavior matters most.

Example: For a heart motif, keep background simple and apply symbols only to special stitch zones for better readability in work mode.
