- Stitchmeister is color program for creating patterns for
- counted-crosstitch out of 16 color neochrome images.  This allows 
- the happy stichmeister user to digitize photos of things like family
- members roses, etc. in color or 16 grey levels (which tends to work
- best), and then print them out as a pattern for counted 
- cross-stitch.  (those little stitched homesweet home, etc. signs 
- that look so homey) This allows for interesting photorealistic
- decorations.

And they say there's no software for the ST.

Talking about a niche market.  Or is that a 'stitch' market?

Will Atari go after this lucrative market now?  Will they start 
advertising in 'Stitching Today' magazine?  I can see the Stacy ads 
now!

Will Atari be present at the National Stitching Convention?
Damn, look what Elie missed!

Get out those knitting needles, Uncle Jack!  

Hey R&D, how about a Sewing Machine Digital Interface?  You'll have 
all the true ST enthusiasts making their own clothes!  

- Stitchmeister Demo may be distributed freely, so long as it is not
- put to commercial use.
 
Geez, I'm glad there's no fee for using the demo!


(I'm truly sorry if I offended anyone.  I couldn't resist the attempt 
at humor. :^)
