[@mdeano2]

Thank you for this video. I am an experienced peyote beader. I just started using 15/0 seed beads with an intricate pattern. The beads kept slipping around. After many hours, I gave up but, then, I came across your video. I’ll get back to it now. Thank you!!!

[@michellevalt578]

It's a good way to show how to start this off. I've been wanting to learn peyote. Thank you I'll try it

[@lydiaarrington6565]

I am so grateful for your video, I finally made my first Peyote stitch after watching countless videos for beginners. Your method works!

[@donnapierce4073]

I am just starting out on the peyote stitch.. The starting is what was throwing me off. I can’t even begin to thank you enough. I can’t wait to get in my shop and try this method. I try and watch all your videos because you explain things clearer than any one else I have watched. Thank you very much.

[@christinejones7070]

I’ve been working even/odd count peyote for about 20+ years, and have struggled with the start, thank you for this wonderful easy way to start my work.

[@ManieMartinez]

You're so welcome!

[@virginiaruggles8639]

This made starting peyote so easy! Thank you!

[@Ivanshita]

I am so grateful. Thank you so much. I tried peyote so many time and gave up . This video is a game changer.

[@ManieMartinez]

I am so happy for you

[@carmenstine3916]

Awesome technique, it makes it so much easier!

[@ManieMartinez]

Glad you think so!

[@dawnskipworth2693]

I wish this was available before. Thanks I can see how it’s done and be successful. Thanks again

[@vivianiacoboni6273]

Wonderful video and presented very clearly. Thank you for this tip. I will use this forever in my beginner classes. With Gratitude!

[@michellegivant6943]

OMG I was so ready to cry! Like ugly cry! Thank you for this EXTREMELY HELPFUL VIDEO!!!! I love peyote beeding!!! But I am new to it and have had some trouble getting started! So thank YOU!!!

[@ManieMartinez]

You are very welcome

[@peculiardeb]

Great video. Easy to understand. Many should “get it” because you made it so simple. Thanks so much👍

[@ManieMartinez]

Thank you so much. I hope many do get it, and can learn to enjoy peyote as much as i do.

[@donnawest9685]

Whoopee!!! I did it thanks

[@ManieMartinez]

Great!!

[@flohale9515]

Such a great peyote tutorial 💖

[@lindazeiters5049]

Totally new to peyote stitch or beading in general. Have watched countless videos. Tried your technique with 8/0 beads. It worked perfectly! I ran out of beads for that bracelet so... until Amazon arrives, began another project with 11/0 beads. Phew! Technique continued to work, but I had to trust the technique because it looked like crap until I had a sizable section woven. Can’t believe the difference the change in sizes made. To be fair, did also switch from Myuki to Czech glass. Those were the only differences. Thanks for taking the time to help us out. Very generous of you!

[@ManieMartinez]

Glad you are having fun. Just remember that rounded edged beads with not fit as snug and uniform and tube type beads. But a lot of work was traditionally done in rounded beads so go for it.

[@terrawallace8313]

This helped me tremendously. Ty. Keep sharing videos please

[@wilnavanrooyen4156]

Thanks, thanks, thank you so much for sharing this with us. Good job!

[@zebralauren1]

Omg!!! 🙀 I know this video says it's from 3 years ago, but I just barely found it and boy am I glad I did!!! I've been struggling hard with getting the peyote stitch down just right and now you just saved my life as well as blew my mind!!! Thanks so much for this🙏💗😺

[@kimmick1343]

Yes, yes, yes. It makes sense!!! I'm going to try peyote again!

[@ManieMartinez]

Yay! Let me know how it goes. I am so excited for you

[@kburcl]

Yay I did it! Thanks for the 2 needle tip!

[@TwistedQuestionMark]

Holy crap this is BRILLIANT! Thank you!

[@ManieMartinez]

You're very welcome!

[@laraemitchell9064]

Genius. I think this will work for me! Thank you!

[@ManieMartinez]

Did it work?

[@laraemitchell9064]

Manie Martinez yes. I’m doing a project right now where I have to do multiple bead strips. So lots of starts. This has speeded the process up a lot. I had been struggling with the starts so much

[@debilefever6696]

I am so anxious to buy my beads & get started by following your video. You did a wonderful job teaching Peyote to us beginners. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

[@lucytrono9280]

its my first time to learned the peyote stich and i love it... it so chanllenging to do peyote and i enjoy it...

[@dianneboardman1956]

Awesome, that will make it so much easier for me. Thank you so much.

[@dharkling890]

I really like this stitch. I can't get over how easy it is to learn from you, Mani. I commented on another video and learned that due to your failing eyesight, you are no longer making videos. I am so sorry for you and your eyesight. I can relate. My eyesight is getting bad as well, but I will go as long as I can. I'm getting a tad bit old ;) and I also have a disease that is taking it as well. I'm stubborn tho. I'm watching this video late in the evening and so I can't start practice until tomorrow. You mentioned there are many peyote stitches. If I get good at this one, I hope the rest are just as easy. Anyway, I'll move on now. Thank you again for all your past hard work and for leaving the videos up. I don't know what it is about your teaching style, but I've tried to find someone as good as you and I have watched hundreds of videos. I found one out of all of them who is sort of close. Take care. --Carol

[@maryzylema9699]

Putting the needle thru the beads really helps that first row. That first row is a little bugger. Thanks for sharing .😊😍

[@cindylo8812]

Great learning tool! I avoided peyote until I discovered if I made a starting swatch out of brick stitch and flipped it sideways it made it easier but I wish I had seen this video first.

[@rhondapayne6134]

HUGE thanks for this tutorial!!!, I’ve been struggling for years wanting to do peyote but never could get past the start🥰

[@lynnew900]

I am a total beginner and this looks so easy. I'll definitely be giving it a try. Thank you so much

[@anneokaley6431]

I was having so much trouble with starting Peyote and this and your other Peyote instruction videos have really helped me to understand what I was missing. Thanks so much for the uncomplicated teaching.

[@ManieMartinez]

You are welcome

[@roseannamoore8535]

Geese Louise, ahhhhh!!! Finally! Finally! For heavens sake, it’s made me insane. Looks so simple but those tiny beads and the thread, ugh! It was you who gave me the “tool” I needed. Thank you so much, from my crossed eyes and my huge fingers 😆! WOW

[@ManieMartinez]

Yeah! I am so glad this video helped you. Enjoy your new adventures in Peyote.

[@lisalay1265]

Thanks so much for these videos!! I’m new to this and you’re a huge help! Keep the videos coming!!

[@ManieMartinez]

I am sorry to say that I have stopped making videos. Life happened. Take care

[@lisalay1265]

Manie Martinez oh no I hate that you were my favorite!!! So informative will you still be able to answer questions on past projects, or be available from time to time to help??

[@shandasherrill9278]

That was very easy to understand!! Thank you

[@ManieMartinez]

You are welcome!

[@mollybragg9459]

Thank you so much for this video! I appreciate the fact that you went slow.

[@mariacasella5875]

Thank you so much! Finally I can do flat peyote thanks to you!

[@PatriciaMaund]

Great video. I wasn’t having trouble starting the peyote stitch, but this makes the third row much easier to work because the beads are positioned up on the needle & it keeps everything from twisting around. I will definitely try this when I make my next ring. Thanks again, Patty 🧑🏻‍🦳

[@PatriciaMaund]

Hi Mani, Your technick for starting peyote is a life saver. It makes it so easy to get the third row done because the beads that you need are sitting up on the needle & it keeps everything from twisting around. I have a ring going right now & it was so easy to start I could hardly believe it. Thanks, Patty 🧓

[@beatrizelenaalzatezapata6828]

Excellent instruction! Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻

[@AileenDodge]

WOW Now that is exactly what I needed!! I was going to buy those cards or pay for a lesson to learn what seemed to be very confusing so called beginner beading stitch! Well I suppose it is an easy stitch to pick up from just reading, if you are not the show me type learner, who really cannot pay attention long enough to the written instructions even if they do have Pictures. It's the ADD in me!!! LMAO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. I will now go and start the simple bracelet I have been wanting to try and make. for a rather long time!!!! 😊

[@ManieMartinez]

i am so glad it was helpful. Enjoy

[@lisak7677]

Yesss!!! I'm gonna dive in tomorrow. You are a great teacher and this is the best beginners video I've seen. I think I can do it!! Thank you!

[@twanx1]

Thanks very much. I usually make chainmail jewellery, but my wife asked me to make a peyote stitch necklace that she saw on line. I'm used to tricky starts to weaves, but this one had me swearing like a trooper...

[@veronicakoehlet1300]

This is really a good idea

[@gigistacey724]

Genius!!!!! Thank you!!

[@karensiebe266]

Thanks soooo much ! The end bead was my problem & this makes it easier. So glad I found your video. Can't wait to make some of your other video designs.

[@grespinosa]

My first peyote piece was made years ago, an odd-count keychain that I was unable to stitch the design correctly. This video has given me hope I might be able to do peyote after all, thanks so much!! :)

[@ManieMartinez]

just have fun and enjoy the journey

[@Christi_DelMari_James]

i finally got it to work following this video.. i did first try with pony beads, but i understand how to do it and what im doing instead of being completely confused. thank you so much for this video..

[@ManieMartinez]

Glad I could help!

[@theresagoin5682]

Omg thank you so much I think I finally found a way to actually do this frustrating stitch that's been driving me crazy trying to learn

[@ManieMartinez]

I hope it helps you. Take care

[@beckyevepete]

This is wonderful!!! I had just tried starting a new piece & was so frustrated I put it down. I love doing a peyote stitch with Delica beads after the first 4 rows. They are so uniform & pop right in. The way the designs look with this stitch rather than a loom. Thank you for making this much easier to start!! Time to get the beads back out.

[@candy1st]

You are wonderful for sharing your knowledge and talent. Thank you. You helped me so much I can't thank you enough. I have been trying to do this around the top of my walking stick. It would go well for awhile then boom something or another would happen and I would have to cut it off and start over. I have been doing it like you showed and all has been good for now. I can put it on the top of my walking stick after I finish. If I thought I could do it I would have but more beads on to make it wider but I am finally on my way to getting my 1st complete peyote stitch completed. I owe all to you. Again THANK YOU ❣️

[@yolettebrown5441]

Thank you so very much for this. Finally I can get a decent start for peyote!

[@ManieMartinez]

Glad I could help!

[@jaymewitcher7852]

I tried it as I always have trouble and it worked great! Thank you! I am just making a hat band for my husbands cowboy hat with peyote. I am almost out of time.

[@ManieMartinez]

That is wonderful that you tried it and it worked. I would love to see a picture of it when you are done.

[@kokomopony]

Mate! You are an absolute ledgend! What a great easy fix for that dreaded peyote start. I tried the quick start cards failed, tried a bick stitch starter turned for peyote failed, gave up and went back stitching huichol and saraguo pieces instead, until I just watched your video. You have made this super easy and instructive just like your other videos and finally peyote is no longer a nightmare 😍😍😍💐💐💐💐💐Thankyou

[@ManieMartinez]

Great to hear!

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

So clever. TFS

[@dallassorenson1665]

that's so clever wish I would of seen this instead of going crazy trying to learn how I did.

[@janetsanchez4887]

Thank you it helped so much

[@angelacrowe5575]

Great tutorial on it!!! Thank you...

[@ManieMartinez]

Your welcome

[@sandrasouth4601]

OMG! Ive never struggled with anything more than peyote, I try for a while, I just can't get it started so I move on to something I can do. Then a few months later I'll give it another go, but still not getting it. Until I come across your video,...wow! How easy was that. Thank you so much, now maybe I can try some of the wonderful patterns I keep seeing. X

[@ManieMartinez]

Wonderful!

[@lisalay1265]

She’s fabulous and so is her work!!

[@deespice11]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@justine.lindsy]

Thanks! This made it so much easier to follow! I'm new to peyote stitch and absolutely love that you called it the "sticky outy" bead 😂

[@ManieMartinez]

Glad it was helpful! For me learning was about getting it not being correct, so I figured it might be helpful to teach that way too.

[@synthiaannstan]

Excellent!! Thank you

[@lizgriffiths1768]

[@ruthieh.graham8406]

Hello, thank you soooo much for video. Was wondering does it matter what type of string you use for beginners peyote. I am right now using floss, and it is not working. Please let me know. Ruthie
