Krazy StitcherWhat You Get
Krazy Stitcher Base is the bead pattern maker that gives you everything the expensive desktop apps charge for — and runs right in your browser. With 22 stitch types including peyote (2-drop through 9-drop), brick, loom, herringbone, right-angle weave, square stitch, gourd stitch, spiral rope, Dutch spiral, and netting, you have more design flexibility than tools costing three times the price. Photo import with Floyd-Steinberg dithering and K-Means quantization turns any image into a stitchable pattern in seconds, and print-ready PDF export at 300 DPI — with optional branding text and saved print presets — means your pattern looks exactly right the moment it comes off the printer.
Every tool a beader needs is built in: full shape toolkit with draw, fill, line, rectangle, oval, triangle, and diamond tools; mirror, flip, and rotate transforms; symmetry modes for balanced designs; undo/redo history; dark mode; pattern search and library; bead count summaries; gridline controls; a thread & bead quantity estimator; a row/round progress counter to track your physical stitching separately from the pattern design; and whole-library Backup All / Restore. Your patterns are stored locally in your browser — no account required, no data uploaded, no internet needed after the first load. Krazy Stitcher Base works on any device with a modern browser: Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, Android, Chromebook. One purchase, no subscription, no recurring fees.
