Cross Stitch QR Code Generator

Yes, if the contrast is strong, the light border is kept, and every stitch is correct. Stitch in DMC 310 on white Aida so the dark modules read clearly, and scan the pattern on screen first to confirm before you start stitching.

14-count is the usual choice — a 21×21 code is about 1.5 in, a 25×25 code about 1.8 in. 16- or 18-count makes a smaller, denser piece; 11-count is easier on the eyes but larger. The tool shows the finished size for each count.

Paste the WiFi string WIFI:T:WPA;S:network;P:password;; into the text box, swapping in your network name and password, and leave the trailing double semicolon. The tool encodes any text, so the finished code joins the network when scanned.

Only if your fabric is not white. On white Aida, leave the light squares bare — you get the same contrast with half the stitching. Turn on "Stitch the light squares too" when working on colored fabric so the quiet zone stays light.

Yes, on an even-weave fabric or Aida: work each dark cell as a small satin-stitch block or a full cross, one cell per block, so the modules stay square. Freehand embroidery without a grid drifts too much to scan. Keep the light border and strong dark-on-light contrast.

Up to 300 characters here, but shorter is better. Every extra character can push the QR to a larger version — more modules, a bigger grid, and more stitching. Use a link shortener to keep a long URL to a small, stitchable size.
