Generally speaking, the time it takes to upload the picture is the most time consuming element of creating your project (which depends on your internet connection and the size of your picture). The software literally creates your project in seconds, ready to print on your printer.

The programs here were written based on frustrations we had in searching for decent latch hook projects. The variety was far too limited, and the idea of turning pictures taken with our digital camera into latch hook projects was considered. Software was nowhere to be found, so we wrote our own. In keeping with the current trend toward a more open community when it comes to software, we decided to share with the world - no reason not to! (No microsoft products are used here - everything is "open source" and/or Linux based.)

If there is an interest in adapting the site to create cross stitch projects, we will probably do it. If you're interested in this, please let us know.
