Cross Stitch Portrait
Turn a photo into an authentic cross stitch portrait, stitched in colored thread on flat aida cloth.
The prompt
Turn [a person] into an authentic cross stitch embroidery portrait, keeping their recognizable face and features. Stitch the portrait in neat X-shaped stitches of colored thread directly into flat, taut [cream] aida cloth, with a visible even weave grid, real raised thread texture, and a limited thread palette. Shot straight on and perfectly flat, filling the frame, with the unstitched aida left plain around the design, evenly lit, no folds or wrinkles. A crisp, authentic handmade cross stitch piece. High resolution.

Tips and variations
- Ask for "visible X-shaped stitches and an even aida weave grid" so it reads as real cross stitch.
- Ask for a limited palette of 6 to 10 thread colors so it stays clean and stitchable.
- Add "flat and taut, shot straight on, no folds or wrinkles" to avoid a messy draped cloth.
