Make a Cross-Stitch Effect from an image with Photoshop CC
In this tutorial I will show you how to turn an image into a simulated cross-stitch effect. I've used real world dimensions here, so if you print out a 6 inch square picture with this method, It will look similar to what a real 6 inch square cross-stitch project would look like.
This method should work well with logos, signs, proverbs, etc. Works best where large areas of solid color or backgound are prevalent.
You will need 2 files to make the patterns for this tutorial. The Cross-Stitch pattern by Paul O. Zelinsky shown in the attibutions below and the Aida Cloth
pattern by me. To make it easy for you, I've place both of them in a zip file:

I start out the tutorial with a 3 minute summary "fly-by" session working with the Rhino word cloud image that I made in a previous tutorial. • Create an Animal Word Cloud Shape Design i...
I Made the flyby so you can quickly determine what the tutorial is about and how the effect is applied.
Then In the main detailed tutorial I show you how to modify a black and white Route 66 highway sign, colorize it, and change the design a bit. Next I show how to apply the cross-stitch effect to the sign.
