Example · FreeformWhat is a freeform bead pattern?
Not every idea starts with a size. A freeform canvas has no bounded area, so you can sketch a motif, try several in a row, or build an odd shape and only decide on the final dimensions later.
The cells are still beads: set their width and height to match the bead you use, and every count and export stays accurate.
What a freeform canvas is for
Sketching. Try motifs and palettes before committing to a grid size.
Odd shapes. Pendants, appliqués and pieces with no straight edge.
Motif libraries. Many small designs on one canvas.
How Wevy handles freeform
No boundary
Draw anywhere; nothing is dimmed outside an area.
Adjustable cells
Set the cell's width and height for your bead.
Every tool
Select, lasso, pencil, fill, text, shapes and the eyedropper.
Counts and exports
The bead key and PDF work as on every other grid.
Freeform questions
When should I use freeform instead of a technique grid?
Use freeform for sketches and shapes with no fixed size. When you know the technique, its own grid gives you the right stagger and Make mode order.
Can I add a bounded area later?
Yes. Set a working area when you're ready, and everything outside it dims.
Does freeform work with Make mode?
Yes. Make mode reads it row by row, like a loom chart.
Is the freeform canvas free?
Yes. It's part of the Free plan.
