Flat Chenille Simplified and Updated

[@LindyPeterson-jh6hr]

Thank you so much. We had similar experiences. I've been beading for over 20 years, taken classes and taught myself complex stitches like Prismatic Right Angle Weave but no matter how many videos I watched, I could not get Chennille Stitch until I found your video. For the first time, I was able to make something that actually looks like Chenille Stitch. You're breakdown is wonderful. Thanks sooooo much!

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

I'm so glad Linda 🤓 It's now one of my favorites 🌼

[@RMCToo]

So funny....and when I think that I have been beading for OVER 53 YEARS!!! Yikes! Beautiful....the Senior Beading Babes used to LOVE doing this stitch in beading class on Thursdays here. I have always LOVED to do Tubular Chenille....the bead designs are ENDLESS. Richard

[@judithheinemann8439]

One of my favorite stitches is the tubular chenille but I had never beaded the flat version. It is a beautiful stitch although the turn around did throw me off a bit, I will always have your video to refer back to. Thank you so very much for your patient and thorough tutorial.

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

I have to try tubular chenille 😜 I hope this helps with the turn around. Big hugs from Nova Scotia 🐿️🐈

[@Pittypat747]

I was just scrolling along when I screeched on my brakes to see this beauty! I just love this! Great one Emma! You could wear this every day!

[@janiefadley5589]

There are a ton of video's on Chenille stitch and I was to the point of just giving up and then I thought of Baby Squirrel and sure enough I can say I can do a this, so thank you again Emma!!

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

@@janiefadley5589 I'm so glad to hear that Janie 🤓 I had a tough time learning it from videos so I wrote out each step and picked out the patterns 😜 That's how I learn. This is such a versatile stitch so I'm having lots of fun with it. Hope you do too. I should be doing a new take on it tomorrow if the storm doesn't knock out our power 🌊 Big hugs from Nova Scotia 🐿️

[@joycefitz-hugh341]

You are amazing, I have been beading for quite a few years now and have made several of these bracelets. The clasp had broken on the one I made for my sister. I undid a few rows thinking this will be easy! I wasted a whole day trying to get the stitch right. Watched the original video and several others. Then I came across your video, thank you so much, you explained it so well, I can now get the new clasp on .I started making myself another chenille bracelet. I hope you have had the treatment you need and are a lot better.

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

I'm so glad Joyce 🤓 I found it confusing as well. Challenge accepted 😂 As my wife says "beading is supposed to be fun" 🤣🤣🤣

[@donnamanin7362]

I just purchased dragon thread. All because of you using it in your video. 😊

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

That's great Donna 🤓 I used to get so frustrated getting Fireline to pass through more than once. This makes life and beading so much better. Big hugs from Nova Scotia 🐿️

[@mechelerose8151]

I watched this for the 2nd time, I'm not sure why it didn't click in my brain that you were using larger beads, the first time I watched it . ❤

[@fayewilliams229]

I love chenille bracelets. I use jump rings through the ‘diamond’ of the stitch and attach to the clasp (I’ll send you an email with a photo). Great tutorial Emma 😊

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

@@fayewilliams229 Thank you Faye 🤓

[@judithheinemann8439]

Excellent solution!

[@NorgieSobczyk]

I've done this before sort of forget how I did the end of each turn. Thank you for sharing this! My daughter loves ❤️ the bracelet and it looks good on her. I have to do this again.

[@annietwemlow9967]

Beautiful. Just found you when scrolling and fell in love immediately with this bracelet. Fabulous.

That is such a pretty bracelet . I think I get the pattern . I just need to make it bigger to follow. 😊💖

[@mechelerose8151]

So lovely. This is way above my skill level and above my eyesight ❤

[@susanbyers7523]

gorgeous bracelets

[@joycefitz-hugh341]

You asked about clasps I use the slider clasps which come with different amounts of loops on. Think they are the best .

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

@@joycefitz-hugh341 Thank you Joyce 🤓 I just ordered a bunch of them 😜

[@susantennyson5925]

Clasps can be great or they can make me pull out my hair. Thanks for letting me know I’m not alone! Beautiful bracelets. Thank you for the tutorial. 🩷

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

@@susantennyson5925 That's funny Susan 🤓 I thought I was the only one that struggles with clasps 😜 Beadings ugly secret is out 🤣🤣🤣 Big hugs from Nova Scotia 🐿️

Thank you!

[@andreaeichner9955]

Love this! Mine is coming out so beautiful but taking me 4ever because i have to keep rewinding video but i dont mind. I used slightly different sized beads 12.0 sead beads and 11.0 delicas because i did not have 8.0

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

That is awesome Andrea 🤓 Big hugs from Nova Scotia 🐿️

[@kathsmith5064]

Hi Emma. What a stunning piece🤪. Loving the 8/0 bead colour and the pattern is totes adorbs. I bet it feels super slinky too. I am quickly becoming a devoted fan of cuffs, noticeable, comfortable and unique. New question, if I could be a bead, what would I be?? Big and showy? Small but so pretty when placed with others like a chorus line? Shiney, matte, faceted, polished, or pearl?? Oh bother, I am all of them. Hugs x x x

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

😂 When you said you had a question I thought oh serious the I read if I was a bead...totally cracked up 🤣🤣🤣 You so funny Kath. You know I'm going to be dreaming of what bead I would be 😜 You're the best 💋

[@ssc4153]

Hi Emma......I'm going to try my hand at this one!......I am thinking that since you made 5 rows, wouldn't you want to use a clasp with 5 holes?.......I guess I am so OCD when it comes to things like this....I want things to match, and be symmetrical........would that work? I just don't like things hanging out there with nothing anchoring it. I'm going to try this out and I'll let you know how it works out! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

@@ssc4153 I think you're right but all I had was the three loop clasp. If you're as OCD as I am you must have going nuts with this clasps. Because I've invested time in the video and don't edit I just carry on. After the video I obsess until I fix it 🤯 Have fun with this one. I'll tell what my wife says to me "beading is suppose to be fun" 😭 Big hugs 💚💛🧡

[@hobbybigiotteria2241]

Che bello questo braccial😊😊😊😊, mi piacerebbe sapere quante perline verdi ci vogliono per realizzarlo❤❤❤

I get those injections . Awhile back I had nurses coming to help me after a ten day stay in the hospital . My right hip ,actually the whole right leg is so tight . I told the one nurse how I suffered from the pain in that and how tight my lag is . He offered to pull and treat the muscles . After he was finished, my leg felt so much better . He no longer comes so my leg is back to the normal pain . I have been wanting to find someone who can treat my leg like that . Since I have those injections . I have pain like the nerves feel raw . I have to roll the waist band on my pants because it hurts from the touch . Even my leg hurts if I bump it on certain spots. I sure hope they help you . If not I would try to have that kind of therapy . I can't think of the name even though it's simple .Hopefully you know what I mean .

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

@@maryzylema9699 Thank you Mary 🤓 I've been getting treatment from massage, chiropractor and osteopath. I had this problem 11 years ago and I got instant relief and it lasted 11 years. Cross my finger it works as well. So sorry to hear you're suffering as well. Thinking about you 🧡💛💚

[@kariomo9085]

My favorite seed bead look although I have never made one. Can I use larger seed beads for this project?

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

I think it would work 🤓

[@SuperNina1985]

Why not use a longer clasp that is the same width as the bracelet. I think the smaller clasp may lead to the extra beads each side to turn and deform with use!

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

@@SuperNina1985 Hi Nina 🤓 A wider clasp would work well. Thank you for the suggestion 🐿️

[@Monikapip]

I was the same way with RAW. I just could not get my head around it

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

I can't get raw to work either. Guess what I heard? Laura Mckabe can't either so we are in good company. If you're not familiar with her just search KZbin. She does some amazing designs combining herringbone and peyote.

[@angie3686]

I’m lost😢… i’m one that needs to go from start to finish the actual bracelet then attach the clasp so I was lost a long time ago when you didn’t finish the actual beating part of the bracelet…ugh!

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Sorry to hear that Angie 🤓 I have a few more videos coming out with different beads 💚💛🧡

[@kaseymusgrove7648]

@angie3686 I’m the same way but what I do, is just rewind and keep rewinding the video and follow along because the pattern doesn’t change 😊

[@consueloyoung4484]

Oh Emma, this is your assistant. What an incredible pattern, I have to do this, I know I am a total newby but I pick things up fairly quickly.🫣. We do have a LOT in common Emma I can’t tell you how many injections I’ve had in my SI joint, over the course of 20 years I have had 9 levels fused (long story) but all started with THAT joint. It was never so difficult to get med appointments like now, I feel so bad for you because I know. So so happy I found you ‼️♥️

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

I love this pattern. I just tried it with some of the new beads. They are very sparkly. I still can't believe I haven't heard about an appointment for my SI joint. It's been over a year now. Wow your back sound bad. I never thought I'd have back issues but I have scoliosis so with age things are starting to pop up. You can email me if you want no pressure. I really enjoy your comments. It's been quiet all summer and fall here on KZbin 😜 [e-mail]

[@consueloyoung4484]

@@BabySquirrelBeading you know Emma, when all this started happening I could not believe it was happening to me, after all, I was in such good physical condition. I worked at it every day for 2 hrs!!!. I would love to converse with you from time to time, what ends up happening in my case is that I became very isolated and depressed. I do need a like minded person to talk to, thank you 🙏🏼

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

@@consueloyoung4484 Guess what 🤓 you brought me luck 🤞 I got a call today with an appointment for my SI joint 🎉 It's December 10th but at least I have a date. I was starting to believe it was never going to happen. I'm like you. I've been working out every day. Look forward to communicating in email 🌼
