My new toy

I just got a new tablet for my birthday. Its one with a little pen & you can write on it. It works great for cross stitch patterns, especially as I can make the stitches any size I want so that I can actually see them. I can highlight different stitches with different colors, and use a black line to mark out the stitches as I complete them. Each is a different layer, so I can show just one color stitch that Im working on, and at the end I can turn everything off so I can see the backstitches. I used to blow up the picture in the printer, then tape all the pages together.

I didnt read all of the posts, but, PatternKeeper on Android is my favorite.

I know that is a program "Cross stitch Saga" for iPad. :)
Maybe someone know a similar program for Android???

This is a very neat idea! I wish I could figure out how to do this with my iPad! ;P

I find a stylus doesnt work on mine.   I have a few pdfs and jpg charts on mine for stitching, but I still like having a paper copy!

Me gusta pero pero es muy caro, así que paso con los gráficos de papel

I would be great if we could use the ipad for our patterns, what is the brand and type? Maybe I should find this one too ;P

This would be so good for us who are getting older and eyes are not as good as they used to be.

Thats awesome! I know I have a list of cross stitch/beading programs that are the best for i-Pad. I read it on the main Yahoo news site one day and copied it to a list to put on my i-Pad.

When I find it I will post it on the forum. I was into beading last year, then decided to go back to cross stitch after finding all my stuff from years ago.
