Questions
How do I start “Bent-arm digger”?
Use a 5mm midi pegboard at least 85×49 cells, with a one- or two-cell margin so you can lift the board. Start from a corner or the dark outline and follow the preview above. This chart uses about 2313 beads in 9 colors—pick them from the legend on this page.
How do I iron it without melting colors together?
Beginner palettes are short. Cover with baking paper, use a medium-low iron, and stop when the edges just tack—do not drag. Beads face up, baking paper on top, iron set flat. Wait a few seconds before peeling.
Will this work on Perler, Hama, and common pegboards?
Yes. It is a 5mm midi chart, so Perler, Hama, and common pegboards share the same pitch. Buy beads by the codes on this page, not by a store package name.
What should I follow while I place beads?
Follow the preview on this page. The downloadable PNG adds the English title, a short symbol in each cell, bead codes, and counts, so you can print it and keep it beside the board. HD export, PDF, and board splits are in the app.
