Frequently asked questions
It is often helpful to enlarge a template or to make a copy of the pattern, for example to be able to cross off rows. You may copy pages for such purposes from your own book/instructions for your own use.
The distribution of copies is not permitted in any case.
Since most of our authors don’t want this, the commercial sale of jewelry made from our books is not permitted. (Commercial sale = Jewelry made for selling)

Unfortunately bead tubes can’t use again. We would have to clean them deeply and this isn’t possible. Please dispose them suitable.
