Problem and solution
Printable templates are useful when several people are sharing one project or when the craft table is away from the computer. A good bead pattern should not be just an image. It should show coordinates, colour codes, separate steps, and a count of the beads needed before the first tray is opened.
Problem
Many printable bead patterns do not include enough production detail, which means makers still have to count colours manually.
Solution
The PDF workflow is built from the generated project data, so the printable grid, colour pages, and shopping list all come from the same pattern.
