    Thank you for this great information! Can you do a similar video on the best threads for bicones and crystal projects? I have a lot of difficulty with the thread breaking.

    • @EurekaCrystalBeads
      @EurekaCrystalBeads  Рік тому +4

      Thanks for watching! When it comes to beads like bicones or some bugles that sometimes have sharp edges, unfortunately if you pull tight enough, most threads may break -- the best ones for this are Fireline and Wildfire, as they are the strongest and have a different structure, so they don't fray in the same way as nylon threads such as Nymo or One-G. Another tip could be: avoid beading with long pieces of thread when using bicones -- the fewer the passes, the smaller the damage to the thread with every pass, so a smaller chance of breaking. Hope this helps!

    I fringe with Fireline 4 pounds - it works quite well if one keeps a very relaxed tension. In my experience, the coating of the Wildfire 6 pounds tends to "flake" on me when I make a few extra passes with it in beadweaving, and so I usually tend to stay away.

    hi what thread would be best for tiny hole beads

    • @EurekaCrystalBeads
      @EurekaCrystalBeads  9 місяців тому

      Thanks for the question! The best choice would be One-G, and it would be best to slightly pre-wax it. Fireline or Wildfire might be too thick even for two passes. If you mean beads like 15/0s, however (whether Miyuki or Toho), you will do fine with One-G, KO, Nymo, Fireline and Wildfire (but choose the thinner varieties, like 4lb for Fireline).

      Unfortunately, we cannot give our review of this thread, because we do not carry it, and so our designers don't get it for testing.

    Fireline will fray and I use it in bead embroidery all the time.

    • @EurekaCrystalBeads
      @EurekaCrystalBeads  Рік тому

      Thanks for the feedback! What makes Fireline a preferred choice when you decide to use it in bead embroidery? Do you use it in general for all sorts of embroidery, or just a specific use, like bezels?

    • @Oonagh72
      @Oonagh72 Рік тому +2

      @@EurekaCrystalBeads I used it because I got it. 😆. I just used it when I started bead embroidery, I didn’t know until this video I wasn’t supposed to. Also 4lb Fireline is thin and strong so I can get a lot of passes through my beads if need be.

      @@Oonagh72 It's not really that you're not supposed to, I think it's more about just your preferences. It's good to try with everything (or at least the available general types of thread) and see what you like

      I use fireline in bead embroidery as well. It is especially good if using heavier gemstone beads, but it works just fine with seed beads. I prefer fireline for everything except for fringe. And I really hate nymo for loom work.

    • @TheCrimsonPope
      @TheCrimsonPope Рік тому +1

      @@secondaccount1688 I got introduced to fireline pretty late maybe that's why I'm not loving it very much... I always get annoyed at how stiff it is (for all bead embroidery and some small beaded designs as well, like stud earrings), and you sometimes can't get the beads to get arranged in the way you need. Doesn't this apply in your case? Or do you have a magic trick to make fireline more pliable? :D

      At which point? Whenever the background is blurry, there's something that is being discussed in the foreground, so whatever is the subject ATM is in focus. For the shots where she talks about threads like ranking them, they are all nicely in focus. So which moment do you mean? 🤔

    Good info, thanks, but youur hands waving all over the screen while you're talking is a bit irritating and distracting.
