In fact, for extra security, your credit card information is not stored which greatly reduces the possibility of data being stolen.

If you're still stuck you have these options:
  1. If you know someone else who is good with computers, write down your email address and the password we provided in your receipt and have them login on their computer and print the pages for you.
  2. Save the pattern file to a USB memory stick, and then take it to a document printing company (Staples, Office Depot, etc.) and have them print it for you.
  4. Send us a message using our contact form. We would love to hear from you and help you out.

Your patterns can be accessed any time you login on our website and will be available for up to a year. You can print as many working copies as you like but remember all patterns are copyright and are for your own personal use only.

At Crosstitch.com you are only charged once for the amount shown when you checkout, and there are no further extra, or automatic charges.

The exception to this is if choose a recurring subscription for our Caption Maker, but that is handled only by our payment provider.

All patterns purchased or downloaded from Crosstitch.com are bound by copyright law to be used only by the person for whom they were purchased, even once you are done with them. It's important that everyone helps protect the copyrights of all designers who make their livelihood by designing the patterns that we all enjoy. Thanks for understanding!

The easiest, fastest, safest way to pay for anything online is by credit card. Your bank will convert the amount to your own currency automatically using current exchange rates. PayPal is also very secure and you can use funds directly from your bank account if you don't have a credit card.
