Loomerly: Loom, peyote & brick

The app works great and the developers are great! They took my feedback into consideration and made some changes for me even! I have the paid version and since its a one time purchase its definitely worth the money. Works still works without paying (basic functions), but if you are serious about designing I’d definitely recommend getting the paid version. X lieke

They recently changed the maximum size for brick stitch patterns making the app nearly useless for me… I’m very sad and disappointed

Loomerly is exactly what I was looking for, a very easy to follow beading pattern maker. It helps you bring your idea to life, with sizes, colors and types of beads you want to use. Erasing errors is simply a press of the button, editing orientation and size of your design. You can draw anything or write names, etc. with ease. This is definitely a 5+ star program.

I use this app for pattern building on all my more complicated brick to fringe earrings and I recommend it to a lot of people. I will say that the word chart functionality could be better with one tweak. It doesn’t break apart the base line of the brick stitch from the rest, so when sharing patterns I gave to rewrite the breakdown to account for the two bead + line at where the fringe loops through. I also wish there was an option to create your own bead colors in addition to the library. Not all my beads fit with the brands selected. I like there is a library to search but it isn’t comprehensive enough to not have an option to create your own. There isn’t functionality to create patterns that show bugle beads or larger or different shape beads in these types of earrings, that would be an excellent feature in the future.

Loving this app. Been using other vector apps to design, but found this and its awesome that all the bead colors can be easily searched! Only big wish is if there was an option to incorporate different drop heights into the brick stitch patterns as I often transition from 1 to 2 or even more in the designs I make. Is there a way to add that? Please and thank you!

By far the best app for loom & peyote stitch and it just keeps getting better.

This sure beats colored pencils and grid paper. I’ve tried most of the tools, copy and paste, erase, change color etc, easy to use. I’m looking for a way to use brick stitches and loom stitches in the same layout. I haven’t found it yet. Wish there was a bit more help available. As I become more familiar I find new features, Creating color palettes for instance is brilliant.

I love this app, however there are a few things that keep it from a full 5 stars. The Toho 11/0 bead inventory could be updated. Many colors are lacking. Also, would love to see the developers include a true mirror option: choose a section and have that flip over on it’s self. Otherwise, there are so many great possibilities with this app and it’s a pleasure to use.

I haven’t used this app for making beaded earrings yet but I did a trial and it’s amazing. I learned to bead when I was younger by studying the work of others and nobody would teach me. We are so blessed to have this amazing app!

I’ve been free designing for years and I’m kicking myself for waiting so long to get this design app. I find I like the design process more than the actual beading now, whoops. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.
