@HypercubicPeg@mathstodon.xyz @matthras@aus.social now that I see better what you’re doing, may I suggest that you can absolutely weave these designs with the holes parallel to the plane containing the beads, but only if you want to. It would probably be faster and easier, but it would also give the finished beadwork a very different look. You might find this paper helpful that I wrote on beading tilings. https://www.beadinfinitum.com/TilingTheoryStarWeavesG18X.pdf
