Welcome, digital artists! In this guide, we’ll delve into the Cross Stitch Prompt Builder, how it works, and the charming and versatile designs you can create with it. The tool is perfect for crafting prompts for vector-like images with solid colors, clean shapes, and bold lines - ideal for converting into cross-stitch patterns. Be sure to watch the video guide, which offers a detailed walkthrough of the dropdown options beyond what’s covered here. If you’re new to Prompt Builders, we recommend starting with the Prompt Builder Basics and PRO version features to get a solid foundation. Let’s stitch some creativity together!
Important Tip: AI tools like Midjourney aren't designed to create fully finished cross-stitch patterns. Instead, use them for the artistic design while relying on a specialized image-to-pattern converter, such as flosscross.com, to handle the technical details. Yes, it’s an extra step, but it ensures a polished and precise final result that's worth the effort!
Creating a professional cross-stitch pattern is as simple as following these four steps:
- Craft Your Prompt: Use your creativity or our Prompt Builder to design the perfect starting point.
- Generate Images: Bring your design to life with Midjourney or another text-to-image AI tool.
- Convert Your Design: Import the image into flosscross.com, and transform it into a ready-to-stitch pattern.

Recommendations on Using Text
In the PRO version, you can incorporate Text into your designs. For longer quotes, we suggest using tools like Leonardo and Ideogram, while Midjourney, Dall-E, and Flux are better suited for shorter phrases.
However, it’s important to note that text generated in these tools becomes part of the raster image and cannot be edited later. This means personalization, correcting typos, or changing fonts won't be possible.
If you anticipate needing such adjustments in the future, we highly recommend creating text-free designs and adding text later in platforms like Canva, Kittl, or other accessible editing tools. These programs not only allow full customization but also provide a vast selection of templates to enhance your designs.

(Other text-to-image AI generators’ outcomes)
While the Cross Stitch Prompt Builder is primarily optimized for Midjourney, we’ve also tested it with other popular text-to-image AI tools, including Dall-E, Leonardo, Flux, and Ideogram. These platforms also produce fantastic results for cross-stitch designs, and here's how they perform:
- Dall-E: Excellent for vector designs, Dall-E generates images with a specific style that’s ideal for cross-stitch patterns. It excels with shorter texts but may struggle slightly with longer ones.
- Leonardo: Using the Phoenix model, Leonardo handles all types of text very well, making it perfect for creating typography or abstract cross-stitch designs. Additionally, its Concept Art and Anime models are great for designing characters.
- Ideogram and Flux: These are the simplest tools in the group, but they still provide great results, especially for cartoonish designs with solid colors - perfect for a lighthearted, whimsical cross-stitch theme.
All these tools are free to try and produce outstanding vector-based and typography-friendly outcomes, making them fantastic options for your cross-stitch projects.
Improving Results Across Platforms
To get the most refined results from these platforms, consider using the "Enhance with ChatGPT" feature available in the PRO version. This feature helps fine-tune prompts, producing more intricate and thematically consistent images across Dall-E, Ideogram, Leonardo, and Flux. Every image shown in this section was generated using enhanced prompts for optimal outcomes.
