Your Patterns Are Safe

Switching doesn't mean starting over. You're exporting a copy of your pattern as an image and bringing it into Krazy Stitcher — your original files stay untouched in your old software. Nothing gets deleted, nothing gets overwritten.

If you don't like the result, your originals are exactly where you left them.

What if the colors look different?

They might look slightly different at first — that's because Krazy Stitcher remaps to real bead brand colors (Miyuki, Toho, or Preciosa) instead of generic screen colors. You can adjust any color after import. Most beaders find the remapped version is actually more accurate to real beads than what they had before.
