Frequently asked questions

How big is one pegboard?

Patterns are split into large square boards of 29 × 29 pegs. A 58-bead-wide pattern fills a 2 × 2 grid of boards. With 5 mm beads, one board is about 14.5 cm across.

Which bead brands can I use?

Perler, Hama, Artkal, Nabbi and MARD. Switch brand at any time and the pattern is matched again to that brand's real colours.

Why are clear, glitter and neon beads off by default?

They look different once ironed, so a close colour match on screen can look wrong on the board. Turn on "Allow clear, glitter and neon beads" to use them.

What does dithering do?

It mixes two nearby colours in a pattern of dots to fake the colours in between. It helps with photos and gradients, and makes flat cartoons look noisy.
