As a professional designer I use this software on a daily basis. I have used the other so called "professional" versions of bead pattern rendering software. All fell short of my expectations and requirements.

Bead Creator has not only fulfilled my requirements as a professional but allowed me to save my patterns in pdf format. Eliminating the issues with purchasing additiona expensive software or attempting to download the free pdf software that tends to conflic and lock up my system.

I've also owned at one time bead rendering software from a company that made policy of being very disrespectful and slanderous to Bead Creator, later I noticed they were actually using the bead creator palettes. I found this most distastful and promptly removed the software from my hard drive.

I've also found that many times I can speak with a Bead Creator tech over the phone. Many of my problems have been worked out simply because I got to speak to a real live person. I also discovered that the techs were not just employees, but published professional bead artists like myself.

I've also been surprised yet pleased to recieve answers to questions I've posted when I couldn't sleep. Apparently they couldn't sleep either, and I later found out these lady techs work from home, yet balance small children along with all they do for their customers. I admire a company that puts family first and allows professional techs to work from home in order to provide us with the best service possible. I can't help but laugh when I hear a little one's voice in the background.

I just can't say enough good about the software AND the company! All I can say is this software is a MUST HAVE for anyone wanting professional looking patterns to use or sell without spending your kids inheritance. Hey, can't beat more BEAD money in your pocket!

I give this software FIVE STARS! * * * * * Top knotch!!!
