Sheetworks Studio

Sheetworks Studio is your free crafting workspace for printing accurate templates, bead strips, quilt blocks, labels, and creative project sheets. Every page is sized for US Letter paper and engineered for clean cuts, perfect alignment, and smooth creative flow.

The new version of Sheetworks Studio has officially arrived! After a month of steady work, improvements, and new features, the app is cleaner, easier to use, and ready for you to explore.

Sheetworks Studio is a one‑time purchase of $100. That’s it — no subscriptions, no monthly fees, and no extra charges. All templates released for Sheetworks Studio are free to download and can be imported directly into the app.

All items in our online shop ship free within the US only. I currently offer U.S. shipping only and it is from rural Maine. Delivery can vary from 2–14 days depending on your distance from Maine. Expedited shipping is not available.

Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon. A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.

Making Sure You Don't Run Out
Buy More Than Enough Yarn When buying yarn, for a specific project, buy one more skein than the pattern calls for, that way, you will know you have enough and any left overs can be used in a scrap project! This goes for any other type of craft supply you need to get a certain quantity of. Just get a little more than the project calls for.
