I found the software buggy but hopefully, with more updates, the bugs will continue to be dealt with. What you see on the frontpage of the site is an image that has been painstakingly created via individual cell (bead) color changes. This software cannot process a complex image like a photo. It was not straightforward as I had to size the image just right to fit into the beading area I wanted i.e. If you wish to upload an image, stick with a simple 2 color design like the maple leaf one I tried (see top picture above).

Ruby Lockwood demonstrates how to use this software for peyote patterns. Experimenting on the computer is much easier than trying to use colored pencils on graph paper. Some combinations are clearly better than others. The ability to see actual bead color combinations is very useful. Later this week, you will see a tutorial where the designer used this software to create her pieces. This software works best if you then select the individual cells (beads) and assign the colors of your design. You can specify the number of columns and rows. The precision cut Japanese beads are best for uniform work. You have only 2 bead choices - 11/0 Miyuki and 11/0 Miyuki hex cut - but there are numerous colors in this size to choose from in order to create your design. It covers peyote, loom, RAW, 2- drop, brick and interestingly, rosette.

Here is a review guide to beading software tools for you to explore and consider. Which you choose will depend on not only how much you are willing to pay but why you need them.

Repeat steps 11 through 13 until you have finished off the remainder of your applique's side, and then repeat steps 10 through 14 on the other side of your applique.Not too long ago, someone asked me what sort of beading software tools might be useful for creating your own patterns for both loom and off-loom work. Pull tight so that your knot becomes hidden within your beadwork.ġ4. Tie the two sets of thread from step 12 together in a square knot. Take another thread or two and weave them through, coming out of a bead next to or facing the first one or two added.ġ3. Weave your needle through one or more beads from within your applique. Thread one or two (that are next to each other) of the slack threads into your beading needle.ġ2. Remove your be loomed piece from the loom, and cut off the knot on the end, as close to the knot as you can to leave plenty of thread slack for finishing off the piece.ġ1. tie and cut off your longer, beading thread. If your design is longer than the distance between your loom's two springs, rotate your spools so that part of the design slide over the spring on one side, and more thread is allowed on the other side for beadwork.ġ0. Continue repeating step 7 down through the duration of your design. Repeat step 7 for the second row, adding your bead colors per your pattern.ĩ. Thread your needle back through the row of beads, keeping it on the upper-side of the threads on your loom.Ĩ. Separate your row of beads so that each individual bead fits between 2 of the threads on your loom, pressing them up with a finger from your other hand so that the holes of the beads are vertically above the threads on your loom.ħ.

Here we are demonstrating working from top-to-bottom for each row.Ħ. Thread your first row of beads onto your needle, according to your pattern. Thread your needle with a much longer length of thread and tie the end of it with a small knot at the beginning of your loom work, a short distance from the right or left spring on the loom.ĥ. Separate your threads evenly across the loom, placing 1 thread in-between each spring swirl. Wrap one side of the loom spool around until the groups of thread are tightly stretched across the loom.Ĥ. Split the group of threads into two slides, hooking the loom spools with either end of the group. Tie all of your threads together at either end of the group.ģ. For example, if your pattern is 13 beads wide, then you would cut 14 pieces of thread.Īlign your pieces of thread up next to each other. Cut 1 more piece than the number of beads per row on the pattern you are using. Cut additional threads of the same length as the piece you measured out in Step 1.

Measure out and cut a piece of beading thread the length of your loom, plus ling enough to wrap around the spools if if you are creating an applique that is longer than the distance between you loom's two springs.Ģ.
