Import from Etsy
Choose the listings file Etsy exports (a CSV file). Each row becomes a draft, with the title, description, tags and price filled in. Etsy's file has no link to each listing, so give your shop address to use as the Buy link until you add each listing's own. Then add each pattern's PDF.
Reports
People who got one of your patterns through Stitchen can report a mistake in its chart. Reports come only to you, and Stitchen never tells you who sent one. A fixed chart is a new version, and it reaches everyone who has the pattern.
No reports.
Leak lookup
If you find one of your patterns shared online, upload the copy here. Stitchen looks for an order number in the stamp on its pages and in the file's metadata, and compares its chart with your listings, which finds the pattern even when the stamp was cut off. A file shared exactly as Stitchen sent it is found by the file itself, free downloads included.

Listing
If you believe we removed it by mistake, you can send a counter notice with the report form. Choose "You removed my listing by mistake".
A person at Stitchen will look at it. Until then it has no page in the shop and can't be bought. How listings are checked is explained below.

Publish
Publishing puts the listing in the pattern shop, using the latest version Stitchen has read. Unpublishing hides it until you publish it again.
What selling costs
When a pattern sells in the Stitchen shop, Stitchen keeps 8% of the price plus $0.25, and card processing is included. When the sale comes through your own link, Stitchen keeps 4% of the price plus $0.25. There is no listing fee, no fee on free patterns and no Offsite Ads.
What each shop takes from one pattern
| Price | Etsy | Stitchen | Stitchen, through your own link |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5 | $0.93 (18.6%) | $0.65 (13.0%) | $0.45 (9.0%) |
| $8 | $1.21 (15.1%) | $0.89 (11.1%) | $0.57 (7.1%) |
The Etsy column is a US seller's fees: a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee [1] and payment processing of 3% plus $0.25 [2]. It leaves out Etsy's Offsite Ads, which take 12% to 15% of a sale they bring in [1]. On a pattern of $5 or more, a sale through your own link costs you less than half of what Etsy takes.
Checked against Etsy's fee pages on 5 October 2026. Prices are in US dollars. Etsy charges sellers outside the US different processing fees.

How listings are checked
Stitchen checks a listing when you publish it. A listing a check flags is held for review: it has no page in the shop and can't be bought until a person at Stitchen looks at it and decides.
Chart fingerprints
Stitchen reads the chart into a grid of stitches and renames its colors in the order they first appear, so a recolored copy looks the same as the original. It cuts the chart into blocks of 8 by 8 stitches and compares them with the charts of every other listing. When at least half of a new chart's blocks are in a chart listed by another designer, the new listing is held. Cropping a chart, recoloring it, changing its symbols or moving it onto new pages doesn't hide a copy.
Photos
Each photo gets a perceptual hash, a 64-bit summary of what it looks like. When a photo's hash differs in 6 bits or fewer from a photo on another designer's listing, the photos match and the new listing is held.
Licensed names
Stitchen keeps a list of character and brand names that belong to someone else. When a listing's title, description or one of its tags has a name on that list as whole words, in any case and with any punctuation, the listing is held. This is checked when you publish, and again when you change the title, description or tags of a live listing, which leaves the shop while it is held. If you hold a license for the name, the person who looks at it can let it through. That covers the names it had then: a new name from the list holds it again.
Signs that AI was used
Stitchen looks at the chart's full stitches and key, and at the file's metadata, for these signs:
- Many colors: more than 100 colors used in the chart.
- Many symbols: more than 200 different symbols in the key.
- Close colors: more than half of the colors used have another used color within a distance of 12, measured as the straight-line distance between their red, green and blue values, each from 0 to 255.
- Confetti: more than 30% of stitched cells differ in color from all of their stitched neighbors above, below, left and right. A cell with no stitched neighbor isn't counted.
- An AI tool: the PDF's Info dictionary or XMP metadata, or a photo's metadata, names an AI image tool (Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Firefly, Imagen, Ideogram, Leonardo, NovelAI or an "AI cross stitch" generator), or carries the IPTC digital source type trainedAlgorithmicMedia that C2PA uses.
A chart counts as likely made with AI when it names an AI tool, or when it shows at least two of the other four signs. A listing that is likely made with AI and says it was made by a human is held for review. Stitchen doesn't change its label by itself.
A verified designer's answer about how a pattern was made is trusted, so the AI signs don't hold a verified designer's listing. Chart and photo matches hold every designer's listing, verified or not.
