Best 15 Cross Stitch Pattern Stores On Etsy
Etsy is a great online forum for finding many different types of arts and crafts products. If you’re a cross stitcher, you should take a look at the Etsy shops of certain designers because there’s some amazing patterns to find there!
However, you don’t want to just grab any old pattern that looks good. Not every person who sells on Etsy is reputable or good at customer service. Buying a pattern and then realizing that the stitching design is flawed is not good.
The following Etsy Cross Stitch Pattern store have either very high ratings on Etsy, have presented their work at the Nashville Needlework Market, or I’ve personally stitched something from them and can verify great customer service and a quality pattern.
Gecko Rouge
Gecko Rouge is one of my favorite online Etsy stores. They are based in the UK and have quite a few highly colorful and unique cross stitch designs that I’ve been looking at for years.
I have purchased 3 designs from them and think that the quality is outstanding. Their customer service has also been excellent when I was having an issue with floss.
The vast majority of the products on their site are full kits. That means that the price includes the physical pattern printed out for you along with all the materials you need to stitch it (floss and fabric included).
The advantage of buying a kit like this is that you will be given everything you need to do the pattern. If you live in a location where you can’t easily purchase cross stitching supplies, this may be beneficial and attractive to you.
However, it also raises the upfront cost of purchasing a product from them. You also can’t easily get replacement floss without contacting them directly. To prevent copyright infringement, the folks at Gecko Rouge don’t publish the DMC color numbers with their patterns.
If these negatives don’t bother you, then I highly recommend checking out their fun and vibrant cross stitch patterns.
Heartstring Samplery
Heartstring Samplery has a large collection of original cross stitch designs as well as over 10,000 sales on Etsy since its inception.
One of the best markers of how good a cross stitch designer is on Etsy is the number and quality of reviews and ratings. Heartstring Samplery is one of the best-reviewed and most popular cross stitch designers across the entire platform.
Like their name suggests, many of their designs are samplers.
Kathy Barrick Designs
The Kathy Barrick Etsy store has a very distinctive look to it that you usually only find in larger cross stitch stores. The vintage look will remind you of patterns that were likely popular a century ago but still look amazing and stylish.
One of the best parts of this store that may not be immediately evident is the framing style that they utilize. While you may be looking at their patterns, also notice the frames that they use to showcase their work.
Lindy Stitches
LindyStitches has been showcasing her cross stitch designs on Etsy for a few years now, and her unique vintage-style projects are lovely.
I first saw her projects on her YouTube channel, Lindy Stitches, where she showcases the projects she’s currently working on and designing.

These pieces are truly works of art and would be an outstanding stitched gift to give to a loved one.
Satsuma Street
Satsuma Street is one of the largest and most well-known cross stitch design stores on Etsy and with good reason. Their designs are clean, crisp, and beautiful.
Their City patterns are both distinctive and attractive. I’ve looked at all of these designs several times, and I’m likely to start working on the City series at some point.

Stitching Land

In fact, every single design is presented framed inside a relatively small circular embroidery hoop. It makes the patterns look even more stylish.
Check out their store where there’s almost 300 different cross stitch patterns.
Zindagi Designs
Zindagi Designs just may be the biggest cross stitch pattern site on Etsy, and I am glad you’ve made it all the way to the bottom of this list to see it.
As you can see with the picture above, they offer a customized Birth announcement sampler pattern that is unique in the cross stitching world.
However, that’s just the beginning. There’s almost 600 separate designs on this list, and I’ve purchased a few in the past. I can tell you that their customer service is fantastic and they are very trust-worthy.
While they have the standard sections for holidays and births, there is a very large section devoted to dog breeds. There you will find dozens of cross stitch patterns that could be tailored for your own pet.
How To Trust An Etsy Cross Stitch Store
Etsy, like most major online retailers, have a wide variety of businesses that are listed. Some are good and reputable, and some are nefarious and could rip you off.
Make sure that the store has hundreds of reviews that are all almost all positive. A store that says it’s new and has amazing-looking patterns just might be committing copyright fraud or making cheap copies of someone else’s patterns.
Even better, look through their comments and see if anyone has posted a picture of a finished pattern from that store. That will give you an even better idea of what the project will look like when done.
