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.

  • We accept PayPal
  • We will eMail your pattern to you.

    • 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 the beads used in our patterns, they will just be shipped by our suppliers.

    We prefer to make large loom pieces, tapestries really. But we do still enjoy some quicker patterns, so we also have amulet bags, necklaces, and bracelets. We accept commission of almost any size, too if you've seen something you'd like made - just ask us!

    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.

    Patterns:

    Check out the 'Patterns' link to see our current loomwork. After a recent hard drive crash, we've had to start over. They are set up as a slideshow.

    All of our patterns are available for your download. After payment, you will receive a unique URL leading to the pattern you bought. Each one includes a full colour chart and a material list. Some of the larger pieces include a word chart in excel format, which will be eMailed to you.

    If you prefer, you can have the chart sent to you as a StitchCraft file. You can then download the StitchCraft demo version, save the file to your hard drive, and use it on your own computer. This would allow you to make any changes you want to it, but it will not save your changes, the original pattern will be unchanged.

    If you want to buy your beads here too, you are very welcome to. We have a full range of Czech and Japanese beads. We do not keep the beads in stock; they will be shipped from our suppliers, located in the United States.
