- The Delaney Family Site - Cross Stitch / CrossMagic

I have enjoyed Cross Stitch for many years, but I was always moaning about never knowing whether I had all the bits and pieces needed to complete a project and what I would need to buy. It would take me ages to rummage through my stash and write down what I needed. I asked my business partner Murray, to help me and together we designed a database to help make my life easier. That was the birth of CrossMagic!

What Is CrossMagic?

CrossMagic for Windows is a Windows based database program for cross-stitch enthusiasts. It allows you to enter and maintain details on all your materials (i.e. floss, beads, etc), charts and projects. It will print reports on what materials you've run out of and need to buy again, which charts you can make with your existing stock of floss, what floss you need to buy to make a particular chart, inventory lists, which projects you've completed and which are still under construction, it will even let you enter a search text and will list all the charts you own that pertain to that subject. You can export your data from charts, materials, fabrics & tools, or projects to other databases (i.e. export your data to a Palm or Pocket PC machine and take it shopping). Comes with a complete catalogue of DMC & Anchor Embroidery Floss, Balger / Kreinik Filament, DMC Flower Thread, Balger Ribbon, and you can add your own material types (i.e. beads) if you want to. Evenweave conversion is catered for, and there is comprehensive on-line help for all options. At long last you'll be able to get your hobby organised!
