Tips for bead patterns
- One large square pegboard is 29 beads across. A 29-bead-wide design fits on one board.
- Simple pictures with bold shapes, like cartoon characters, pets and logos, work best at small sizes.
- Keep to 6 to 12 colours for small designs so every bead colour is easy to find.

Questions
Which bead brands does it support?
Perler, Hama (midi) and Artkal S beads. Choose your brand under Colours and every bead in the pattern is a real colour from that range, with its code and name.
How many pegboards do I need?
A large square pegboard holds 29 × 29 beads. The pattern maker shows how many boards your design covers and how big the finished piece will be.
How do I keep the background clear?
Leave the background empty is on by default for beads. It removes the colour around the edge of your picture so only the subject is beaded.
Is it free?
Yes, for patterns up to 80 × 80 beads with up to 16 colours. Pro removes the limits.
