At the worktable
Companion view is the pattern stripped down to the row you are beading. The current row is lit on the grid and spelled out as a word chart underneath; tap next when it is on the thread.
The row, and nothing else
Big type, big targets, a progress bar. Made for a tablet propped against the bead mat and a hand with a needle in it.
Between sessions
Your place is saved with the pattern, not with the device. Bead on the tablet tonight, check a row on your phone at lunch, and the row counter is the same in both.
Loom rows read left to right. Peyote and brick rows alternate direction, left then right, so the word chart turns when you do.
The row says 4 DB0351, not “four cream”. The tube on the mat has the same code on its label, so there is nothing to translate under a lamp.
Companion view opens the pattern as it was last saved. Fix a bead on the laptop and the tablet has the fix the next time you open the row.
