A print-by-mail cross-stitch subscription

A pattern a month,
ready to stitch

good mail for makers

Each month, a new cross-stitch pattern arrives in the mail — beautifully printed, with the floss and Aida cloth to stitch it. A calm, screen-free pleasure, and a lovely gift for anyone who makes things by hand.

In every envelope

A few lovely things, mailed in an envelope straight into your mailbox.

A printed cross-stitch chart with symbol key

The pattern

A crisp, printed cross-stitch chart with a clear symbol key and a full floss list — designed to be readable at the hoop, and lovely enough to keep. About 1800-3800 stitches, achievable in a month. With at most 10 colors.

Embroidery floss and a piece of 14-count Aida cloth

The supply

Includes the exact embroidery floss and a 8 × 8 inch piece of 14-count Aida cloth, pre-cut and prepared with just the right materials to complete the design.

Give it, or start your own

Whether it's a 3-month taste, a generous 6-month gift, or a full year of stitching — every envelope arrives with the pattern, the floss, and the Aida cloth to stitch it. Add a one-time starter kit at checkout if you'd like a hoop and needles too. Patterns come one a month. Nothing renews.

For yourself or as a gift: at checkout you add the delivery address, plus a short note if it is a present. On a phone, pay in one tap with Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Secure checkout through Stripe · ships within the USA.

Every plan is a single purchase: nothing renews and nothing bills again — so a gift is a gift, not a standing charge. Want it to carry on? Buy again any time and the patterns pick up where they left off.

Questions, before you give it

What arrives each month?

A printed cross-stitch chart with its symbol key, the exact floss for the design, and an 8 × 8-inch piece of 14-count Aida cloth — flat-mailed in a kraft envelope. If you added the one-time kit at checkout, three 6-inch hoops, a few needles, and a small bag arrive with your first envelope.

Do I need supplies to start?

The floss and Aida cloth come with every envelope. If you already have a hoop and needle at home, you're all set. If not, add the one-time kit at checkout — three 6-inch hoops and a few needles arrive with your first envelope.

Does the gift subscription renew?

No. Every plan is a single, one-time purchase that ends on its own — there is nothing to cancel and no standing charge.

When does the first pattern ship?

Pattern kits are mailed at the beginning of each month. To receive next month's shipment, place your subscription order by the 15th of the previous month.

Example: Order by August 15 to receive the September shipment. Orders placed after August 15 will begin with the October shipment.

Can I choose the designs?

Each month is a curated surprise — that’s half the fun of the mailbox.

What if an envelope is lost or damaged?

Tell us before the next one mails and we’ll send a replacement. Moving? Send the new address the same way.

Can cross stitch clubs order in bulk?

Absolutely! Hosting a cross stitch club or stitching party? We offer bulk pattern orders so everyone in your group can stitch together. Write to hello@thestitchmail.com and we’ll set it up.

A pattern in the mailbox every month, for someone who loves to make things.
