I really like PC Stitch 11. There are just a few things I wish you would implement that are available on the program I had been using since 2003, Easy Grapher. 1. Please make it possible to enter a small note on the chart. You provide the opportunity for great big letters in Cross Stitch and also an icon indicating a note but not the chance to actually place the note on the chart. Having the note on the chart is important. 2. I do reproductions of my antique samplers. I don't see a Queen Stitch on your program so I use back stitches to form a diamond shape that covers 4 x 4 linen threads to indicate Queen Stitch. In Easy Grapher there is a custom stitch option that allows me to enter the color symbol in the center of the diamond. The only choice I've found in PC Stitch 11 is to use colored lines but since the Queen Stitches interlock I can't show both colors where one color stitch interlocks with one of a different color. If I could do this for the symbol in the center of the diamond I could just print in black and white and have the symbol indicate the color. 3. The opportunity to print out the Legend showing symbols and colors or to insert it in each page. 4. The ability to see lines in black on the legend with color indicated by dotted, squiggled, dashed lines. The lines only print out on the legend in colors which may not show the differences well when colors are similar.
I'd like to add that we could use some more of the common keyboard shortcuts! For example, I constantly use Ctrl+scroll to zoom in (or ctrl + - or ctl + +)
I would love to see an option for creating a custom symbol set! Some of the symbols are so similar, and even in a pattern with only ten stitches, the symbols that are auto-selected need to be reviewed and changed. Some are even duplicated. I spend more time reviewing the symbols used and carefully selecting different ones than I do creating my patterns. I would like to create of set of symbols that the program would choose from instead of just random ones from the ones available.
Requests for future upgrades
