Hello again. I have now uploaded my #CrossStitch pattern software. I have fixed the false positive, but you will still have to let defender run it as I am an unknown developer. Remember it is an alpha release, so some bugs, not back stitch yet etc. github.com/Aethelstan20...

Release 0.11a · Aethelstan2000/Stituation-Critical

Fixed false positive for MS Defender

I built the alpha for StituationCritical, my #CrossStitch pattern editor. I’ll find somewhere to host it after I run through the shower. Hopefully people may find it useful, though be under no illusions, it still needs more work.

Check out this spooky Halloween stitching idea!
I found a little cauldron in a charity shop and made a little pin cushion out of purple fur to go inside.
The pins now look like they are springing out of a spooky potion!

So would anyone be interested in trying/testing the alpha release of my #CrossStitch pattern editor? I would appreciate some feedback on it. I will make it available for download at the weekend.
