StitchCraft
Our designs are created with Stitchcraft, a great piece of software from Australia.
All of our patterns include a Stitchcraft file. You can download a trial version of the software from their website, so you can read the file. You can make changes to the file if you wish, but the trial version of the software won't save your changes.
We also include a material list and a real word chart (not a bead map) with the pattern.
We will make small changes to the pattern if you like - ie. we'll change the colours, or sometimes the size.
Welcome to FindBeads!
FindBeads has been on the internet for over 10 years now, providing top quality Czech glass seedbeads to beaders and designers around the world. So far, we've shipped to 37 different countries! :)
However, we have decided to 'retire' from that side of the business, and concentrate on our first love - designing beadwork for our looms. We have several looms of various sizes, from a small metal loom for bracelets up to an oversize wooden loom specialy made by Crazy Acres Wolf Ranch. We will still be selling off excess bead stock, since we've moved our business into our home, and have little spare space.
Our loomwork can be separated into categories:
- (A)Small patterns i.e. wrists, hat bands, bag straps
- (B)Medium sized for belts, chokers, bookmarks, guitar straps
- (C)Larger ones for amulet bags, purses, wall hangings
- (D)Largest - oriental rugs, tapestries, hanging art
Help for loomers
We have also gathered some information on the way we like to use our looms. We have always hated having to sew in the ends after we finish a piece of loomwork, so we'll show you how we handle the finishing of different sizes of work.

Here are links to the pieces we currently have online. After a recent hard drive crash, we've had to start over. They are organized by the number of colours in them.
