    I love how you look into the camera when you talk, it’s something many people forget about doing, and it really helps to connect, and the information was great too ! You’ve gained a new subscriber down here in NZ 👍🙂

    I've been string beading for a few years now. I've been putting off using stretch cord. So I tried it today using the Stretch Magic youtube tutorial. The knot just wouldn't hold. I figured there must be some other options out there. I came across YOUR youtube tutorial. Thank you very much! You saved me. YOUR knot didn't fall apart! Thanks again!

      Do a surgeons knot ×2 and a surgeon knot is which can be done in 2 ways imo 1 over hand knot then the next knot wrap the cord twice and then pull tight that equals 1 surgeon knot then do it again so you have 2 surgeon knots... and alittle glue and let it set for atleast 20 hrs

    Thank you for explaining about the different size cords. As a beginner I did not understand about filling the beads hole. I made a few bracelets with stretch cord and they seemed to have too much cord showing when they were done and I couldn't figure out why. Now after watching your video I believe it's because I'm not using the correct size cord. Most videos do not explain enough about the cord and that is important information. Thank you, again.

    I'm new to your channel and like the little I've seen of it. I've been doing beadwork on and off for the last 20 or so years. My experience though is limited to mostly brick, peyote, herringbone, gourd stitches. I've done a lot of Native American projects for friend to wear as part of their regalia. I'm just beginning to want to branch out in other directions and feel encouraged with watching some of your videos. Thank you. :)

    Do u know if the .7mm opelon (double stranded) can fit through a 1mm hole of a 8mm gemstone bead????
    A previous video I saw mentioned double stringing is best for heavier beads. And another thing about opelon is that big eye needles are a bit sharp and can shred the opelon so it's best to be careful and aware of that

      Try pre-stretching before stringing beads. It lessens stretching later.

    Opelon is fine for heavy beads and if they have a larger hole even better cuz imo your supposed to double it up atleast 2 strands and for me i quadruple it up so theres 4 strands running through the whole piece also if u know all your beads are smooth and if theyre not just sand the holes alittle bit, then it wont shred...

  • @marybetoo
    @marybetoo 5 років тому

    You said to give it a good stretch to make sure the bracelet is going to hold together. I've seen a lot of instructions that say to stretch the cord before beading, but I can't find any information about how much to stretch it. I made a bracelet a long time ago and I know I stretched the cord too much, but is there some sort of guide or formula for stretching?

    Hello, I normally get stretch magic, in all 3 sizes when I order ,in fact I have an order being delivered on Monday ,,they also do a 1 mm sparkle stretch magic that has specks of glitter in it,,,I have mother of pearl coin beads, that are 18 and 20 mm thing is though ,,,the holes in them are small,, so that's a problem I have ,,they are beautiful beads with butterflys ,, that have been painted on them, and want to use them they are quite light weight,,, so was wondering would the 5 mm be strong enough,? Can you please get bk to me on this one,, thank you🌹🌺🌼🌸🌷🍁🍂
