With the below script, you can generate your own cross-stitch patterns for free (in GIMP).
I was watching people cross stitching on twitch.com and decided to do a plug-in/script for people to use to cross-stitch.
Use this as an alternative of programs like Winstitch (if you can't afford it). Hope you guys like it. If you find it useful, I'd love to hear from you about it. Also there's a Beads pattern script which is an a variation from this script intended for perlers.

- version 2 (GIMP 2.8) (saves each thread selection to channels, so that we are able to run "Cross Stitch DMC replace colors" script after adding DMC code to end of layer names) So that the process is still automatic but can manually change one or more colors afterwards.

Script Options
1. Open up any image, with an active/selected layer.
2. Run Script (Python-Fu/Cross Stitch..). Adjust options.
3. Wait for script to run (it'll show progress bar).
4. After script is done you should see 2 new images (1 is the cross-stitch pattern, the other is DMC thread information [also used to name the layers in the cross-stitch pattern image).
5. Enjoy cross-stitching! If it works for you, I'd love to see your final real life cross-stitches (share on this thread if you'd like).
Sample original: Sample cross stitched pattern Sample thread info image
Sample pattern with white layer turned off.
