Common questions

Can I swap two colors directly?

No. Move occupied beads into the tray first, then fill connected empty sockets. Groups connect along edges and diagonals.

When is the picture complete?

Every bead must match its socket and the tray must be empty. Gallery pictures can then be viewed or exported as bead patterns.
