Very lovely. Nice choice of colors. Wondering if those beads are made wider.

What is the color of the leather you are using? Thanks- really enjoyed the tutorial.

I started making a bracelet with tila beads, but the beads keep popping up, and overlapping. I used s-lon thread, but didn’t double it, and I think it’s size B. Is that why I’m having this problem?

Without seeing what you're doing, I can't be certain. But if you're weaving it around leather like in this video, size B should be fine - it's thinner than a D, which I use. Maybe doubling it might help? Also make sure your tension is good.

@@fireflycarrboro thank you for the video! I am using A Lon size 0.3mm (doesn't say D or B on the package). I can't double my thread and pass through a seed beed twice, so I guess I should go with a single thread?

@@SewcalSewcialite thanks for watching! Hmm…I’m not familiar with A Lon, so I can’t be 100% but you don’t have to double up your thread if you have a thicker cord. However, if using a thicker cord, just make sure you can pass through your bead twice with it. Happy beading!

@@fireflycarrboro thanks! I didn't catch my typo, it is S Lon 🙂

[@fireflycarrboro]

@@SewcalSewcialite ohh!! Haha no worries! I think it’s fine to use and should still create the same look 😊
