This paper deals with problems related to digital presentation and preservation of handmade embroidery in the following aspects: techniques, master skills and numerous embroidery patterns created by generations of craftsmen. The development of a new cross-stitch software application is presented, where the main idea of the proposed software solution is to give the user an opportunity to design embroidery patterns by determining the types of stitches used in a pattern and the technique for their implementation. This ensures the digitalization of not only embroidery patterns, but the embroidery technique itself as well. Indeed, the proposed software solution can be used as an environment for embroidery patterns design and software for instruction and sharing of information among craftsmen.References
