Pattern software for bead weaving and diamond painting, with versions you can go back to.Chart in the Miyuki, Toho and Preciosa beads or the DMC and Diamond Dotz™ drills you buy, and the design you liked three revisions ago is still there when you want it back.
The pattern, the beads and the making, in one place.Draw it, count it in real materials, try another colorway, bead it from a tablet, and hand it to someone else as a chart they can follow.

Versions

The version you liked on Tuesday is still there.

Save a version whenever a design is worth keeping. Branch one into a new colorway and the original stays untouched, so trying an idea never costs you the one you already love.

At the worktable

Pick up exactly where you stopped.

Companion view puts the current row on a tablet across the room from your laptop, reads it as a word chart, and holds your place between sessions. A pattern takes one evening to design and ten to bead; this is for the ten.
