Pattern Maker Limit

In the pattern maker, why is the limit for perler patterns 50x50? The average perler board is 29x29, so even making the limit be 2 boards would be 58x58. Just curious, thanks

This is my problem with it as well. It used to be fine years ago when I was using big 9x6mm pony beads, but now I only use seed beads, usually 3x2mm, I need more columns. Precisely 57-58, so even that change would be acceptable to almost all my bracelets I'd make.

I've been trying other pattern makers, both on mobile & computer, & although some of them have a way bigger grid size, I haven't found a single one that labels the rows/columns for you, which is super important to me for the pattern & bracelet making process.

I have been using beadpatternmaker.com, screenshotting, @ adding the labels myself on paint.NET so far, but its super tedious that way.

It’s kept to a small limit because it’s not optimized enough yet and on many browsers it would crash. It already crashes sometimes as it is. The limit will expand once it’s safe to do so. I don’t want to increase the risk of people losing their patterns

58 might be a small enough increase to be safe though. It’s hard to say because I can’t recall how risky 50 was and don’t have adequate debugging tools right now to compare the difference. I’ve done a bit of work over Christmas on improving the debugging but it needs more
