Make a Cross-Stitch Effect from an image with Photoshop CC

In this tutorial I will show you how to turn an image into a simulated cross-stitch effect. I've used real world dimensions here, so if you print out a 6 inch square picture with this method, It will look similar to what a real 6 inch square cross-stitch project would look like. This method should work well with logos, signs, proverbs, etc. Works best where large areas of solid color or backgound are prevalent.
