What's actually in a pattern?

What you get when you buy one of my patterns, and what you don't.

When you buy one of my patterns, here's what you're getting:

A PDF file

  • Step-by-step illustrated instructions: every step has a clear visual, not just text

  • A materials list: exactly which beads, threads, and tools you'll need, with Miyuki references for the colors

  • Tips and notes from me as the designer

  • For some patterns, supplementary video tutorials linked directly inside the PDF (see which patterns include video)

What you DON'T get with a pattern

  • No beads, thread, or needles. Patterns are instructions only, you'll need to source your own supplies (see where I find my supplies)

  • No finished piece. I don't sell completed creations right now, only the patterns to make them yourself

  • No physical mail. Everything is delivered as a digital download right after checkout


⚠️ Color Add-on Guides versus Stand-alone Patterns

Please verify your cards carefully before completing checkout:

  • Standalone Patterns: Cover complete step-by-step structural beating grids, dimension charts, and structural tutorials.

  • Color Add-on Guides (Realistic / Fantasy Fish etc.): Contain only alternative color sheets, layout design charts, and Miyuki reference codes. They do not contain structural tutorials. You must own the base standalone guide pattern first!

What if you purchased an add-on guide by mistake? Due to the digital delivery nature of our files we run a strict no-refund policy.

However, if you mistakenly purchased a pattern or digital file and haven't opened it yet, please let us know immediately in our help chat.
