Apple has just approved StitchBuddy 3.2.3 which is a small bug fix to improve the import of VP3 designs: On rare occasions threads were still positioned at wrong offsets - a topic already addressed back in 2014 (link). After some extensive testing (including beta testing by the user reporting this issue) I’m confident it’s finally fixed…
Apple has just approved a minor - and of course free - update of StitchBuddy for Mac: While the Gunold Poly thread chart was already waiting for quite a time - it will be added to StitchBuddy HD on iOS in the next release - a reported issue was calling for action: When opening the color picker thread colors were changed unintentionally under rare conditions.
Apple has announced that macOS 14 “Sonoma” will be released September 26th, 2023, and StitchBuddy is well prepared.
It is always tricky to comment on compatibility with new macOS versions before their final releases, but macOS 14 “Sonoma” is now available as a “Release Candidate”, meaning Apple is considering it’s the last beta version.
With StitchBuddy v3.2 some improvements were introduced, especially for working with shapes: Lock stitches can be added before and after jumps to avoid dissolving designs, and the stitch order of a selection can be reverted.
The last days I have massively improved the order in which shapes are filled: StitchBuddy had issues with objects stacked in stitch direction.
These objects need to be filled one after the other like hatching a drawing. StitchBuddy was applying the filling left to right for the first segment, returning for the second etc. This was causing a lot of needle movements back and forth, including required jump stitches.
