About this app

Threadologie is a beading design app and seed bead pattern maker for peyote stitch, brick stitch, loom beading, and fringe earrings. Create beadwork designs from scratch, start from your intended finished dimensions, or turn any photo into an editable bead pattern in seconds.

Design, refine, follow, and export your projects in one app. Threadologie helps you create bracelet patterns, earring patterns, ring patterns, loom pieces, and other seed bead jewellery designs.

CREATE EDITABLE BEAD PATTERNS

Draw bead by bead with intuitive tools. Adjust colors, refine shapes, edit layouts, and create accurate bead weaving patterns that match your style and your project.

WORK WITH POPULAR BEADING STITCHES

Create designs for:

- Peyote stitch
- Brick stitch
- Loom beading
- Beaded fringe earrings
- 1-drop, 2-drop, and 3-drop variations

CHOOSE YOUR BEAD TYPE AND SIZE

Create patterns using the beads you work with, including Miyuki round seed beads, Miyuki Delica beads, TOHO, Preciosa, and Matubo.

Choose the bead type and size that fit your project. Start from the number of rows and columns you need, or enter your intended finished dimensions and let Threadologie build the matching pattern grid for you.

TURN PHOTOS INTO BEAD PATTERNS

Import a photo or image and automatically generate an editable bead pattern in seconds. Refine the result, simplify details, adjust colors, and prepare a version that is ready to weave.

DESIGN FRINGE EARRING PATTERNS

Create fringe patterns directly in the app. Experiment with length, layout, and color placement before you start beading.

CREATE CUSTOM COLOR PALETTES

Use preset palettes or build your own. Match colors to the beads you already use, keep projects consistent, and adapt each design to your materials.

FOLLOW YOUR PATTERN WHILE YOU BEAD

Use bead-by-bead or row-by-row tracking to keep your place while weaving. Follow detailed projects more easily without losing your progress.

SAVE AND REUSE SHAPES

Store reusable design elements and use them again in new projects. Work faster, create variations, and keep a consistent style across your designs.

EXPORT PRINT-READY PDF PATTERNS

Generate clear PDF bead patterns for personal use, classes, workshops, sharing, or customer delivery. Export charts, word charts, bead counts, legends, and QR codes for compatible projects.

SCAN QR CODES TO REOPEN DESIGNS

Scan a Threadologie QR code inside the app to reopen a shared pattern and continue working digitally. Move between printable charts, shared files, and your beading workspace more easily.

MADE FOR BEGINNERS AND EXPERIENCED BEADERS

Whether you are creating a bracelet, designing fringe earrings, preparing a loom pattern, or building a professional PDF for your customers, Threadologie gives you more clarity, speed, and control.

Design beadwork patterns with precision, from your first idea to a pattern ready to weave, share, or sell.

Ratings and reviews

I love this app. I haven't beaded in 32 years because the idea of drawing all of my patterns on graph paper was not exciting. I decided to make a couple and see how it went, then I discovered this app. Game changer. its very easy to add a design, change colors, and personalize colors. I now have nearly 300 patterns and over 50 completed because of the app.

I love this app! Before I was drawing my designs in a notebook. this app allows me to create/delete rows and columns as I design. there's many colors to choice from. you can name each project. then when you're ready to start a project, it will help you count and keep track of your beads. you can also favorite certain projects from bracelets to earrings!

The only and I mean ONLY thing that I don't like is the bigger the picture, the longer it takes to edit, for example, on a 150x150 if I tap to pencil in box it changes automatically, but on a 200x200 it takes a few seconds for the box to switch colors.... I hope I make sense, other than that absolutely stellar app. I use it to crochet and it works out just fine!!
