Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do I need to start?
For beginners, we recommend size 11/0 seed beads, Nymo or FireLine thread, beading needles size 10–12, scissors, and optional bead mat. Loom courses suggest a simple adjustable loom.
Are the courses self-paced?
Yes. All courses are self-paced with checkpoint quizzes, practice assignments, and estimated time per module.
How long do I retain access?
Course access does not expire for individual purchases. If a course is retired, we keep an archived version available for previously enrolled learners.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes, within 14 days if less than 20% of the course is completed. Contact support with your order ID.
Is instructor feedback included?
Most courses include Q&A and periodic critique prompts. Premium tracks add 1:1 mentor sessions.
Can I download patterns?
Patterns and charts are provided as downloadable PDFs for enrolled learners. Redistribution is prohibited by our Terms.
What if I’m completely new to bead weaving?
Start with the Foundation courses covering bead sizes, tension, and finishing. Our beginner path was designed precisely for first-time learners.
Do courses include closed captions?
Yes. Lessons include captions and transcripts to support varied learning preferences.
How do I choose between loom and off-loom paths?
If you prefer structured, grid-like designs and straight edges, try loom. For flexible shapes and bezels, explore off-loom stitches like peyote and brick.
