Question:
I have been lurking here for a while, learning. DH gave me some beading
things for Christmas because I had expressed an interest in it. Wow! Did
that ever lead to a real addiction.
I live in Western PA with my DH and 3 Wheaten Terriers, one is a rescue with
some problems. I am a young retiree and have lots of time to bead. I have
done several necklaces using Celtic beads and stones like jasper and some
pressed glass.
I am interested in purchasing a loom because I have seen some great things
from them. Does anyone have the software that changes pictures to a bed
pattern? If so, do you like it? I have a couple of ideas in mind I would
like to do. I have done tons of counted cross stitch and am used to
following patterns like this.

-I have used cross stitch patterns on the bead loom. They come out wider
when using Czech beads. Delica beads I find are a better option.
