Text Generator

Our cross stitch text generator lets you create custom letter patterns, cross stitch names, words, and phrases for your embroidery projects. This free cross stitch letters generator gives you instant preview, multiple font styles, and downloadable PDF patterns with grid numbering.

Whether you're making a personalised gift with someone's name, a wedding sampler with the couple's initials, or a witty quote for your wall, our cross stitch font maker handles it all. Use our cross stitch word generator to create any text, from single letters to full sentences. Each pattern includes a clear grid with numbered rows and columns.

Cross Stitch Text Pattern Maker

1. Type your text: names, words, quotes, letters and numbers
2. Choose from multiple cross stitch fonts including cursive styles
3. Pick your thread and background colours (or try rainbow mode!)
4. Download as free printable PDF (with grid) or PNG image

Multi-Line Stacking

Want words on separate lines? Simply press Enter in the text box to create a new line. Each line is automatically centered, perfect for stacked designs like:

• "Home / Sweet / Home" (each word on its own line)
• Baby announcements with name, date, and weight stacked
• Wedding samplers with names above the date

Color Modes

Under "Thread colors", you can choose from three modes:

• Single: All letters in one color (classic look)
• Rainbow: Each letter gets a different color 🌈
• Gradient: Colors transition smoothly across your text

Works on Any Device

Our text generator runs entirely in your browser — iPad, iPhone, Android, and desktop. No app to download. Create your text pattern on your tablet, phone, or laptop, then download a Pattern Keeper compatible PDF to track your stitching progress. Edit the result in our pattern editor with Apple Pencil on iPad or any touchscreen device.
