Questions
What is loom bead graph paper?
Loom beadwork is a straight grid: beads sit in rows and columns with no offset. Loom graph paper is a rectangular grid with cells shaped like your beads.
Can I use loom graph paper for square stitch?
Yes. Square stitch produces the same straight grid as loom work, so the same graph paper works for both.
Why are the cells not square?
Beads are not perfectly square once strung. Using the real bead proportions stops a design from looking squashed or stretched when it is finished.
