THE WORKSHOP
Frequently asked questions
Answers about photo conversion, floss colors, Aida count, credit prices and downloads.
Can I try the editor for free?
Yes. You can edit the sample, start with blank fabric, and preview a photo conversion. Create an account to save a project.
Which photos can I use?
Upload a JPEG, PNG or WebP under 8 MB. A clear subject and a simple background generally produce a more readable small chart. Only use images you have permission to process.
How accurate are floss colors?
The studio shows approximate digital colors for the 489 shades in the MakeBead DMC color chart. Lighting, display settings and dye lots affect how the finished piece looks.
When are credits used?
The generation and PDF buttons show the price before you submit. A failed generation releases the reservation. A purchased PDF can be downloaded again from the matching revision.
Can I print a large pattern?
Yes. Large charts are split into pages with coordinates for lining them up. Choose A4 or US Letter, color or black and white, and a larger symbol size if needed.
