I’m using 44 beads and it keeps twisting!
May I ask what you are attempting to make? And also, did you start out your first row with 44 beads?
Wow!!! So many ya is!! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Is it possible to order just the pieces for the board that have been lost or broken
I honestly could not say. You would need to contact the manufacturer or look on amazon for parts. I hope you find what you need. Sorry I could not be of more help.
Thank you so much for making such a clear and informative video! I'm quite the beginner and this was just what I needed for my upcoming bead projects!
You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful.
You ae not a jewelry maker you are an artist. I'm amazed by you video's you are crazy good!!
Thank you so very much. You made my day.
Thank you for this tutorial! I am making a couple of hair clips for myself with my new flowers :)
You are welcome, Jessica. That is a great idea for putting these blooms to use.
Danke für das Video und die interessanten Details bei der Herstellung. Wo bekomme ich so einen Hammer mit auswechselbaren Köpfen, wie Sie ihn verwenden? Danke
I bought this one. Here is my affiliate link from Amazon for the texture hammer. amzn.to/4egBtRL
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Please what if the vertical bar is too loose, thereby doesn't hold the drawing sheet properly, how do I fix that please
I would reach out to the manufacturer for that. Mine stays very well. There might be a slight defect. I am sorry I can't be of more help, but I just did a review of the one I bought for myself. I am not affiliated with the maker of this board.
Thank you soo much for sharing, you're very generous ❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome
Beautiful, I'm gonna try it
I hope you love it as much as I did. They are beautiful.
Excellent square stitch tutorial! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome Cindy!
Fabulo! Me ha encatado😊❤
Thank you very much.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you sharing. Just starting out with bead embroidering, so very new to this. You mentioned your backing is interface, what us the difference between using interface and stiff stuff? Hopefully you'll tell me either can be used, but interface costs less. Ive found stiff stuff is pretty pricy.
Hello, I honestly have never spent out for Lacie's stiff stuff. It is expensive. Interfacing is available in many fabric stores and departments for a much better price. Both items are used for the same exact purposes. Interfacing is available in many different levels of stiffness as well. I hope this helps you out. Personally, I am going to stick with interfacing.
@@AlluringBeader Such helpful info, thank you, thank you so very much!
@AlluringBeader So sorry I don't mean to be a bother but I have another question. Seems there are many types of interfacing and i didn't know which one to get. Which kind do you use? Thanks.
I suggest you hit the fabric department and look for Pellon non fusible. There are varying weights to choose from, so you can decide by project which is most suitable. I used a heavier weight in the tutorial because it was a component, but you may want a medium weight for bracelets etc. Hope this helps.
@@AlluringBeader Extremely helpful, thanks so very much!
Can’t real see what you are doing because you are not in the camera 😊
There are patterns for this available on my website.
Can you use a 16mm rivoli instead of a 14mm
You can, but you would have to adjust the amount of beads and length around the bezel to compensate for the larger rivoli.
Very cool -- thanks for sharing!!
My pleasure and thanks for watching.
Beautiful ❤ thank you 😊

Your "trial and error" was EXACTLY what I needed for bead selection-- thank you for working this all out!!
You are very welcome. I have found, over the years, that a lot of designing with beads, involve trial and error. The trick is to understand the thread properties you are working with, to avoid problems with fraying and knots. Have a great day.
You are gr8. I've never done this before but you make it so easy to understand. Really appreciated.
Thank you Laurie. You're very sweet.
I know this is an older video, but this video is the only other video I can find that involves this specific type of bead embroidery that involves beading around a crystal. I'm desperate, what do I search for? Whenever I search on amazon glass/crystal rhinestone it gives me these either circular tiny rhinestones for nails OR it gives me the most beautiful rhinestones BUT they're the sew on ones that have a metal piece attached to the back of them or there's actual holes in the rhinestone. Whenever I finally find some that are flat back glue on they are acrylic and are very ugly they don't have the flash like the ones that are considered sew on. I was getting so frustrated I was typing out crystal glue on rhinestone emerald flat back, and of course Amazon was just getting more and more confused! I just wanted to find some place to buy them in bulk, if that was possible. Is this strictly a craft store only item (I can't find them in Michaels or Joanns either and those are my only "local" stores) something that hasn't become more mainstream like the sew on rhinestones? Or can you buy the sew on ones with the metal casing on the back and before you use them in whatever project you can just remove the back piece? Oh crap, I'm so sorry this ended up being so long!! lol I'm just absolutely in love with this design of rhinestone with the beading coming up around it! It's so beautiful!
Hello, This is a great question. Try searching for Crystal Chatons, Crystal Rivolis and Crystal Fancy Stones. Swarovski and Preciosa brands are some of the most popular. But now that Swarovski has limited their beading offerings, there are a few new players in the game. Also, I would check some of the websites geared towards beaders, such as: Potomac Beads Jill Wiseman Eureka Crystal Beads Art Beads Fire Mountain Gems There are many other beading sites as well. I hope this helps you with your journey. Dee
Really pretty seed bead bracelot thank you❤
You’re welcome 😊
A left handed beader!!! Cool! I am too. I struggle so much with patterns at first because I normally have to reverse it. I'll try this and let you know.
I had a very hard time when I first started out. Thank goodness there are few great lefties out there to learn from. Enjoy!
I stumbled upon your tutorials and am impressed with your precise teaching. I’ve subscribed and will be a big fan
Thank you Carol. It is a pleasure.
Do you have 7 mm montee crystal with four holes at the bottom
Hello, I personally do not have any 7 mm montee but many beading websites have lots of options for you to choose from.
I never would have quessedd a button could make thiis thankyou ❤
You are very welcome.
Can you post a link for the exact multi looper you’re using?

I have been hunting for this! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial and I am glad you didn't edit out the mistakes because eventually all of us will make that mistake so we can see how it's fixed.
You are so very welcome. I am very happy that you found this lesson useful. I agree that learning to fix mistakes is a very important part of the process.
Oh my goodness! I have been saved by your tutorials. It was so hard to find one that shows outside and inside! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! I am so glad I could help.
Trying to contact you about a purchase. I purchased tutorial but when I went to download it, it said that file was not found.
Hello Denise I sent you the file on your email address associated with the order. I am very sorry you had trouble with the file. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. Dee
The end result was beautiful! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You are so welcome! I love this project because you can add any combo of beautiful beads in the center. I am glad you like it.
I have been looking for ideas on easy beaded projects without having to return to my local bead store (which I wouldn't mind). Now I can make several Xmas presents using what I have at home, while I have fun mixing different sizes, colors, shapes, and textures. I can't wait to begin! Thank you for this very useful tutorial!
That's a great idea! Have fun gifting this year.
Thank you so much for this video. You called it a "Master Class". I call it an "Excellent Master Class". The design is beautiful and your idea of making a neckace with three triangles will elevate the project a few notches up.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate your lovely comments.
I have struggled w/the transition--your explanation and guidance is amazing-THANK YOU!
You're so welcome! I love it when I can really help someone with a breakthrough. Happy Beading!
Thanks 🙏 love ❤️ thanks 🙏 love 💗 beautiful very good 👍🏻 bye love 💕
Thank you too.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Do you think this would work well with tubular herringbone as well? I want to employ this with a lariat.
Yes, absolutely this works very well with tubular herringbone stitch. I have made a beautiful beaded rope using this technique
@AlluringBeader Thanks for answering! In case you take requests, I would love it if you made a video showing how this is done with tubular!
Muhtesem bir calisma bravo ❤

Harikasiniz❤
Çok teşekkür ederim.
No Seven bien los pasos
Lamento que hayas tenido dificultades con la lección.
Great tutorial. Thank you
You are very welcome. I am glad you found it useful. Have a great day.
Very cute. Going to try this!
I really love the way these flowers look. I hope you enjoy the project.
The instructions are clear and concise. However, quite often the project is off camera and cannot be seen while she is working on it and sometimes it is blurry.
Sorry if you had trouble with my filming. I do everything myself and try to get things as clear as possible.
Thank you for your time in making this tutorial. I have been having a difficult time with pointed crystals and natural stones. Thank you for your helpful tips and tricks. It gave me a better understanding of how to manage around the edges!! Would love to see more bead embroidery tutorials in the future!! I did notice that when the camera was out of focus, you stopped and showed the step before moving on! 😊 Thank you again!🙌
Thank you Kathy. I am glad you appreciate the tutorial.
Gorgeous bracelet 💕💕💕
