Two New Apps for Your Stitching Pleasure

One thing I've really noticed in the last two years is how many folks have abandoned PCs for iPads and Macs. Apple machines used to be in a minority but not any more. Macs and PCs seem to be neck and neck.  When it comes to the folks who visit Blog, iPads are really popular and nearly five percent of Blog readers visit via smart phones.

So it should be no surprise there are stitching apps suitable for smart phones (particularly the iPhone) and iPads.  I've just learned about two more.  iBead helps with bead sizes and calculates how many beads you'll need to make so long a strand.  This isn't something everyone will want to use and it is just for iPhones and iPads, but if it helps you, it's going to be worth the price.

Jan has a great app for rug lovers and also one to help with cotton floss conversions.  Sadly, both are for Apple machines but again if you happen to need these, they are great little tools for your iPhone.
