About Stitchies

Stitchies is a comprehensive cross-stitch thread conversion guide. We help crafters find the closest equivalent thread colors across DMC, Anchor, Madeira, Cosmo, and Sullivans brands.

Every pattern calls for specific thread colors, but not every brand is available everywhere. Whether your local store doesn't carry DMC, you prefer working with Anchor, or you want to explore Cosmo's beautiful palette — we've got you covered.

How Our Conversions Work

Our conversion data is compiled from manufacturer charts, community resources, and decades of cross-stitch expertise. Each conversion includes a match quality rating:

• Exact: The colors are virtually identical
• Close: Very similar — most stitchers won't notice a difference in finished work
• Approximate: The closest available match, but you may notice subtle differences

Thread conversions are always approximate. We recommend stitching a small test sample on your project fabric when switching brands, especially for large projects or skin tones.
