What's Inside

Built around the advanced features already in Pro and Studio, so you can use every chapter today.

Brand Remapping

Convert a finished pattern between Miyuki, Toho, Preciosa, and more without redrawing it, and learn why Delicas and round beads still need a test strip.

Photo to Stitchable

Dithering choices (including when "None" is right), then Recolor, Merge, Reduce Colors, and Confetti Cleanup for a clean, buildable chart.

Difficulty Score

What the 0–100 score actually measures, and how to bring a pattern back down to earth.

Shaped Canvases

Triangle, diamond, and hexagon templates for earrings and pendants, plus how shaped brick pieces are actually beaded.

Inventory and Pricing

Track your stash, build an accurate shopping list, and price a project before you buy anything.

Pro Workflow

Gradient fills, custom palette libraries, the row-by-row Work Tracker, SVG and CSV exports, and the 66-design Starter Pattern Library.
