Stitch has four main sections, visible in the top navigation menu:
Community - Join groups, attend activities and events, and take part in discussions.
Members - Browse and view profiles of other Stitch members and connect one-on-one.
Messages - Send and receive direct messages with other members.
More - Access your profile settings, member benefits and discounts, and the Help Center.
The Stitch Community
Community in the top navigation opens a menu giving you access to all parts of Stitch, including Activities, Groups, Discussions, and Travel. You can also reach each section directly from the tiles on the Stitch home screen.
The Community section is built on the idea that the best connections happen through shared experiences, not just browsing profiles. The three core community features are:
Activities - local events and activities you can attend or suggest to another member.
Groups - join groups based on where you live or shared interests, such as the Stitch Book Club or Hiking Enthusiasts.
Discussions - topic-based conversations with other members.
Fun fact, our first Stitch marriage happened through a Discussions forum!
Stitch Travel, currently in Beta, lets members find and join group trips organized through Stitch. See About Stitch Travel & Trips for details.
Browsing profiles
Members is where you browse other Stitch members' profiles and decide who you would like to connect with.
Each profile shows the member's photo, a short introduction, and details about their interests and location. When you find someone you would like to get to know, you can send them a direct message.
Messaging other members
Messages is where you manage all your direct conversations with other Stitch members.
You can view all your active conversations, reply to messages, and keep track of people you are getting to know.
Account settings, member benefits, and more
The More menu in the Stitch top navigation gives you access to everything outside the Community, Members, and Messages sections. This includes:
Your Stitch profile and account settings
Member benefits and discounts available to Stitch members
The Stitch Help Center
You can update your profile details, manage your subscription, and adjust your notification preferences from this menu.
