8-years later and you're still helping so much! I really liked the real-life advice about adding the thread before you go to bed so that you can fully look forward to continuing the project the next day. So true!!
You have saved me...:) I'm new with Peyote. I've made 4 rings and now working on 2 bracelets for people. Your video has helped me out for an easier way of adding new thread. Easy to follow and neat work. Thank you so much.
Grrrr.... and here I was, trying to tie knot after knot, and get the knots soooo close to my beaded piece. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, Jill!! You've really saved me some time and frustration here!
Jill, you are the greatest, am in the middle of making a peyote stitch bracelet and needed to add thread, so I knew to look up your video. You are such a wonderful teacher and I love all of your videos. I just wish you had more videos. Thank you for all of your videos and the beautiful jewelry. Donna 😊
Thank you so so much for this video! I was panicking when I was starting to run out of thread for my bracelet but your video helped me out soo much! Especially since I’m new to the peyote stitch. Thank you and happy beading!☺️💜
Hi Jill ,thank you for your help .I use to wait to tie my thread and endid up just as you said by passing my needle and then those little bit of thread ,witch takes so long!!! Love all you do , thank you so much very appreciated.
Be a grownup, 😆 you’re are so right! I have been guilty of leaving off a project like a lazy child and you are so right. It takes so little time do it right and the reward is huge!
Thank you very much. My first peyote (totally made with the intention to learn and not create) had the *knot* unravel. I will use your technique as I begin my serious peyote project. I also love your video window mode.
Thanks for the tips Jill. I still had trouble weaving my way back to where the old thread is coming out. I'd always be off a bead or going the wrong direction. So what I now do is start my new thread by going in where the old thread is coming out and then just pull through enough thread to weave around. Then I'm good to go.
I love your videos. I really need one of those bead trays. But ouch they are sooo pricey. Hard to justify one when there are so many colors of Toho's that I must buy LOL. Thanks Jill for posting these videos so everyone can learn.
Hi Jill! The other big problem I encounter with my peyote stitching is not being able to preserve the tension. How do you keep the tension so tight? I use either Fireline or Wildfire thread and delica size 11, and hold the piece in my hand, but I still can't manage to keep a tight weave even if I pull hard. Would love to see a video about any techniques or advice on that. Thanks xx
I used triangle beads for my peyote bracelet. Its looking great. But will need more thread soon. Because of the nature of these beads, its almost impossible tu tell wherre i can pass through. Any suggestions foŕ what I can do?
I have a question about the little pieces left out after starting a new thread. I have a very sharp scissor but sometimes there is a nub. I had heard that using the "thread zap 2" was the best way to cut the fireline so it does not leave the nubs, I would like to know what you think, please.
Hi Jill, quick question. I have just started with seed beading. I've seen several peyote bracelets with a smaller seed bead border (or chain) up and down the sides of the bracelet. What is this called? Is there any way you could post a tutorial? Thank you. :)
Hello Jill. I'm not sure that you'll even see this message...buuut... I've run into an issue. SO... I've just finished the length of a very dainty simple 2 color even count 2 drop peyote stitch bracelet. Trouble is I choose to do 4 rows wide and now I can't figure out how to end...each end... For when I get to adding the clasp. I've searched for videos but nothing helpful for what I'm stuck on. Would you pretty please (with a sparkly Swarovski crystal on top) consider making a video tutorial explaining how to get out of this pickle?
noodlearm s I have had trouble cutting Fireline, and finally found scissors to cut it cleanly -- kids' Fiskar scissors. They're less than $2.00 at Wal-Mart or Target. Unbelievable, I know, but they work great!
Can I ask Jill why you do not want to knot???? There are so many different ways to add and end thread but why not knot?????? Thanks for the wonderful video!!!!
I do knot in some stitches - like herringbone. But I generally prefer not to use knots because they can block up bead holes I need to travel through later. They also create a hard stopping point with your thread that can, in extreme cases, break. If the thread is woven around, the end can bend and flex more as the piece moves.
Katie Voogd Most of the time the answer is whatever length is comfortable for you to work with. I tend to use about two yards of thread, but that's pretty long and is more likely to tangle. I suggest beginners start out using a yard or so.
Katie Voogd AH! In that case, the answer is 4-6 inches - just enough to weave in later. I'll try to make sure I mention this in the videos in the future. Thanks!
Best tip ever is to add new thread before putting it away for the night ❤️ thank you so much for your tutorial 😀

Thanks, I am really getting into Peyote and adding the new thread first is somethingI would never have thought of.

You are such a great teacher. Thank you so much Jill!
You are a wonderful instructor! I really appreciate your taking the time to tell us 'why' you do what you do. Thanks so much !

Your tutorials are the best, Jill.
Jill thank you so much for posting this very east to follow and very helpful video. PD
Be a grownup, 😆 you’re are so right! I have been guilty of leaving off a project like a lazy child and you are so right. It takes so little time do it right and the reward is huge!
Thanks Jill. This was exactly the problem I was having, mainly forgetting where I was. Great tutorial and it sure helped solve my problem!!!
Wow - I wish I had watched this months ago! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you. A very helpful video as this will be my first thread change with Peyote!
thank you Jill!! you saved me in a pinch 💕
Thanks for the tips Jill. I still had trouble weaving my way back to where the old thread is coming out. I'd always be off a bead or going the wrong direction. So what I now do is start my new thread by going in where the old thread is coming out and then just pull through enough thread to weave around. Then I'm good to go.
Thanks Jill, this is a lot easier way of adding thread than trying to tie those pesky knots.
It is now 2019......are you still there Jill? What a great tuition video! Thank you!!
jill your videos are so helpful, thanks!!
Thanks for this super tutorial on adding in thread. Nice Xuron Kevlar cutters!!!
Can you link to the nippers/cutters you are using. I know they are Xuron Kevlar but which model? Are they one of the "flush" cutters? Thank you!
Great advice! Love your approach too, thank you for posting! :)
I love your videos. I really need one of those bead trays. But ouch they are sooo pricey. Hard to justify one when there are so many colors of Toho's that I must buy LOL. Thanks Jill for posting these videos so everyone can learn.
Thank you sharing! I'll be trying this soon! 😄
Thank you that was just the right information I needed.
Thanks Jill

Hi Jill, can you please do a tutorial on how to remove the stopper bead... I really don't know when or how to do that without unraveling my piece

You do the same if you are working in a peyote tube?
May I ask what you are using to cut your beading thread? I have not found any scissors that I am happy with. They leave a frayed end.

Hard to tell in the video just how much thread an estimated inches would be helpful. Thx

I was referring to the leftover strand not the amount for a project.
Katie Voogd AH! In that case, the answer is 4-6 inches - just enough to weave in later. I'll try to make sure I mention this in the videos in the future. Thanks!
Thanks for quantifying it! Much appreciated.
