Anyone familiar with BeadCreatorPro3?

Hey everyone! I am really excitead to be here and to discuss my obsession with creating with beads! I am fairly new to using BeadCreatorPro3 and was wondering if any of you have used it? I just finished designing my first pattern. I started stitching it in Brick stitch, and noticed that my "pattern" is coming out squatty and wide, and not looking like it does on the programs "design field". Has anyone ever had this happen to them, and how can i correct this from happening next time?

Thanks..............BeadyBoyfriend "Richard"

From the pictures on their website, they seem to use "beads" that are square. Real life beads are a bit oblong, so something designed on a square grid in brick stitch will get stretched out in its horizontal dimension.

This seems to be a problem with some of the programs out there. Two that do give beads proper proportions are BeadCellar and my own BeadWizard, as did BeadScape (for older Macs, no longer available).

I suppose, that if your program gives you the ability to export your pattern to an image format, you could then manipulate that image to stretch it a bit and see what your design will look like in beads. That doesn't make the actual designing any easier, though.
