Just a short demonstration of how I start a herringbone project with the ladder stitch. I use a two bead process instead of one bead. Some folks had difficulty with the photo video, so I hope this works better for them.
How I make beaded bezels for super sparkly Swarovski Rivolis.
Can be used as a bezel for any kind of small object. Works well with cabs, too.

Size B Nymo
Beading Needle

@angelsoulnme ... By: tsummerlee. on 06 Jun 10, 12:26:47 @angelsoulnme You can always just do a count reduction instead of using 15,'s too.

This is only a test. If this had been an actual beading video, you may have learned something...
Seriously, I'm hoping to have the real thing done by this weekend.
Just an experiment with my new video camera. It's a disaster so far. Ugh.
"As the Bead Turns" technology drama.
I spend ALL weekend trying to master this, but to no avail. Turns out I need a couple of things to make these a success.
I'll get there.

I don't know the gourd stitch, but from the little I do remember, that stich it's more open, or net-like than peyote. Because I don't really know it, I can't recommend one over the other. Sounds like a pretty project, though.
I agree with you ... By: depanther2004. on 22 Mar 10, 19:31:51 I agree with you completely on the healthcare, can't believe it passed.

How I end depends on what I'm making. You can end by decreasing the stitch to a point, or you can end with pretty end caps (a common metal finding). You can probably make it an unending loop by connecting the two ends, too. The easiest way is probably to use end caps.
I just found your ... By: caughtnthestars. on 12 May 10, 00:12:22 I just found your video after trying to figure out how to do this stitch through written directions. Thank you! You're video has helped me a great deal. I'm just curious to know once you are finished how do you end the stitch?

I took the day off yesterday to attend a trade show for the sewing and embroidery industry. Bead embellishment, and hot fix crystals are a hot new trend in computerized embroidery, so I ended up picking up a few things that have absolutely nothing to do with my day job. Crazy busy day. I had a great time.

I love your crystal clear tutorial videos and your sparkly happy narration, and now that you have pioneered bead haul videos, please put up a bead stash video--too tantalizing to hear you are swimming in beads and we're all dying to see a stash that only lacked three colours!

I work in the computerized embroidery field, and have for the last 20 years, so the thread I use is either 40 weight polyester or rayon on big ol cones. We use big, multi head embroidery machines that crank out hundreds of pieces a day. I can't tell you how much embroidery floss I went through as a girl. I sold hand embroidered denim jackets in high school, and crewel embroidery was a long time passion of mine. :)

An easy way to reduce even count tubular peyote without changing bead sizes. With this method, you can use the same size bead thoughout the piece, saving bead money!
@MiXueLe I've yet ... By: tsummerlee. on 23 Jun 10, 23:37:41 @MiXueLe I've yet to find any "thin forms" in any of my Toho collections. I could sure use them sometimes! What you're describing is a "gradual decrease." Because the curve was pretty severe on this handmade cab, I chose the "severe decrease" method.
Very nice method. ... By: MiXueLe. on 23 Jun 10, 15:42:15 Very nice method. Bead and Button Mag. site has a method that's a lot like this, but you cull through your beads and find the thinnest beads in the mix. My Toho size 11 beads always have a small collection of abnormally thin forms mixed into the vial.
Like your pattern, sew through 2 beads without adding one. The next row use one or two thin beads in that space. Then the third row sew through the one or two thin beads. Then add one normal bead in that space when stitching the fourth row.
@wanda840 ... By: tsummerlee. on 22 May 10, 01:03:42 @wanda840 Increasing is accomplished by adding two beads in a space instead of one. I've got a tut, slash, rant on it, made during an unfortunate weekend in our nation's history.

I did not try it yet, because there is a minimal limit for the worth of buying, but shure, You can find there Czech beads (it's a Czech wholesale site). I don't think, ordering from them would be more expensive, as an order from an other internet-store.
@Aveszedelem Yeah, ... By: tsummerlee. on 20 May 10, 23:55:52 @Aveszedelem Yeah, I know, but I'll bet you can buy Czech hanks cheaper than I can! Czech beads are awesome for all kinds of things, even for lots of weaving projects.
Here's a way to remember: Quality Japanese seed beads never (NEVER) come on a hank. (or temporarily strung). They're always sold loose. Czech seedbeads are sold on a hank, but can also be sold loose. If the beads are strung when sold, they're Czech beads.
Cheaper beads ... By: Aveszedelem. on 20 May 10, 22:52:43 Cheaper beads aren't standardized well: for us in Hungary will be only sold beads, which are very diverse (although they will be sold as the same type in the same bundle) -- but these are all second-rate products, so I don't have to be worry about not to find beads of diverse sizes in one bundle. :)
Good idea, anyway!

@tsummerlee Thanks ... By: Grizabela. on 10 Jan 10, 19:43:14 @tsummerlee Thanks a lot, I would appreciate it. My main problem now is that I don't have glue dots and quite small bead, so the beadwork slips and then I can't find the space where to step up.

That's a good ... By: tsummerlee. on 10 Jan 10, 15:37:14 That's a good question. I don't do a whole lot of increasing, but the process involves adding two beads in a space. I may do a tut on it.

I use size 11/0 and 15/0 to "bead bezel" a cabochon on silk. Basically the same as tubular peyote, but this is used for decorative effect as well as function to hold the cab in place. You can bezel any kind of cab, any size this way.

Everything can be mixed up, except for the base, which is comprised of all 8/0's
I don't use anything to back the Rivolis, I just bead bezel them.
I see a lot of ... By: kailuaview. on 02 Jun 10, 04:19:35 I see a lot of beaded bracelets with bezeled cabs on top of the foundation beading that is the bracelet. How are they doing that?? Must I use an 11/o for the bracelet area where the cab will be so that I can make the weaving look even when I bezel the cab? What I actually mean is do the bracelet beads have to be the same size and shape as the cab ? Are they using stiff stuff under the cab just like in bead embroidery? Thanx for your great tutorials!

Sometimes called the "DNA Stitch."
This is the first stitch I ever learned. Easy Christmas presents for you or your kids to make!
Easy easy easy!
Use any size seed beads.
You are the best!!! ... By: AprilBxoxo. on 07 Feb 10, 16:26:07 You are the best!!!! Thank you so much! That really clears things up for me!!! Have a great weekend...what's left of it!
Yes! I do think it ... By: tsummerlee. on 07 Feb 10, 16:24:08 Yes! I do think it will work IF the beads you're using have big enough holes in them. (Pony beads and Crow beads would work very well.) Remember that you have to pass the thread through the same beads three or four times. That means they'll need a big enough hole to accomodate all that thread. The needle needs to be strong enough to go through all that stuff, too. "Big eye" or split needles are great, just be careful not to bend them all out of shape when you're working.
I'm very new at ... By: AprilBxoxo. on 07 Feb 10, 16:05:22 I'm very new at beading and love it! I'm too anxious and want to learn everything...now! lol...This was the best video for me. Your instructions were perfect and your personality is adorable! Thank you for sharing! I just have one question...I don't have a ton of supplies, but, I have #10 thin crochet thread and collapsable needles for beading. My beads are all different sizes. But, do you think that the thread and type of needle will work? Thanks again!
What a wonderful ... By: tsummerlee. on 21 Jan 10, 01:27:55 What a wonderful comment. Thank you. There's something hypnotic and beautifully optimistic about new journals and books, isn't there? One could almost get philosophical about it. In fact, many do. Angst to prose, those pages beg to be filled.
Please let me know if you do upload a book binding video. It's a captivating, practical, and romantic craft you practice.
Thank you so much ... By: dntmondragon. on 20 Jan 10, 02:55:02 Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I have the materials to make a really pretty bracelet but the instructions from Fire Mountain Gems are confusing. I was able to do this with your instruction. I guess I am going to have to post video instructions on how to do book binding, another fun thing to do. What a neat way to share with each other.
Thank You

When you go to Michaels, look for "Wildfire" beading thread. It's made by Beadalon, or Nymo.
Wow! Thanks! I ... By: dsmit138. on 10 Oct 09, 00:21:49 Wow! Thanks! I bought some fishing line tonight from Wallmart, but it's too thick to do the 'feed through' (don't know the tech name for it). I'm going to a Michael's (out of town) Monday. We don't have much in po-dunk town from which to shop!
6 lb makes sense since I bought 50 lb on the recommendation of a 'fisherman' in the aisle. Anything else I could use that 50 lbs stuff for? I tried it with a much larger bead and it was too loose. Thanks for the remarks! I love this stitch!
In the demo I use ... By: tsummerlee. on 09 Oct 09, 23:26:14 In the demo I use Fireline, which is a fishing line I buy at the sporting good store. I use 6 lb line. "Nymo" is a great thread, and comes in lots of colors. The only thing I don't like about Nymo is that my needle "splits" the thread at times, which is a pain to fix. I found another thread I like called "WildFire." Silky smooth, strong, won't split from needle penetrations, and drapes beautifully. Expensive, though. Costs twice as much as Fireline.
What type thread/ ... By: dsmit138. on 09 Oct 09, 14:21:55 What type thread/wire do you recommend for actually making a bracelet? This is so fun! I've done about three on dental floss and then crosstitch thread. Neither of these seem right.

Could you explain please how to use 3 or more coloures in this spiral ?
"Porkies," LOL!
Of ... By: tsummerlee. on 16 Jul 09, 21:53:51 "Porkies," LOL!
Of course you can! You just need to increase the number of beads when you start using the smaller one's. Example: If you were working rows of 5/0's and want to start using 11/0's, you'll need to increase the number of 11/0's you use by adding two in a space instead of one, and still end up with an even count.
0oo0oo0oo0, like that.
Gawd, I hope that makes sense.
You guys are always giving me ideas for another tutorial!
(lolol, "porkies.")
Very good tutorial, ... By: beadydani. on 16 Jul 09, 15:29:36 Very good tutorial, it offers a better explanation than the DVD & books I bought. You have got such a friendly voice, I could listen to you all day. I am definitely using this tutorial.
One question: is it true that I can't use other size beads apart from size 11s for peyote even count? My beading teacher said so, is she telling porkies, she also odd count peyote is not really a good stitch. What do I believe?
Thanks,
Always stretch Nymo ... By: tsummerlee. on 03 Mar 09, 01:16:43 Always stretch Nymo! Nymo's probably better for this because you can match the color so much better than with Fireline. I just hate splitting my thread with the needle! Ugh!
Interesting ... By: DFG333. on 02 Mar 09, 23:03:17 Interesting tutorial. I call it spiral rope too.
I've learnt it in a slightly different way. I start with four core beads. I don't have fireline it's too expensive. I just use nymo D, which you stretch before using it and it's no problem for me to do this.
I've called it " ... By: tsummerlee. on 06 Feb 09, 10:47:33 I've called it "rope" stitch too, and I've heard it called the "DNA" stitch, even!
