How to Tie Off and Add More Thread in Loom Work

[@jeancriner9378]

Your video is a big help because the other videos don't show how to knot the thread when weaving the thread through the rows of beads. Thanks a bunch!!

[@beadaholique]

You are very welcome!

[@bigvinyldreams9462]

Thank you for all the tutorials! I am dealing with numb hands and feet- doing this type of bead work is proving to help increase my dexterity and helps me readjust to doing fine tasks with diminished feeling in my fingers

[@beadaholique]

Oh I'm so glad you're finding it helpful Katherine. We've heard similar things from other people who've written in over the years and it's always so nice to hear. Thank for watching, and happy beading!

[@bigvinyldreams9462]

Beadaholique can you do a video on how to get good tension on jewel loom when using more than 10 warp threads? I always get some that are too loose and have to put a dowel under the jewel loom between the threads that loop around and the loom to tighten those warp threads

[@beadaholique]

We were just talking about this with another commenter who was reporting problems keeping tension with wider jewel loom projects. Now we haven't run into that ourselves, but it's been awhile since we've done a wide project. If we can re-produce the problem we'll absolutely do a video on ways to avoid it. Can I ask what thread you're using? Is it Nymo or something else?

[@laurab.939]

Excellent tutorial with very clear directions and great camera angle to see what's happening. Thank you!

[@imanarshad8497]

Such a genuine tutorial ma'am❤️ Thank you 🌸

[@TwinkleTwink69]

I didn't know it was so easy to make a knot, I was just trying to do it with my hands, this is so much easier! Thank you!

[@beadaholique]

Glad we could help teach you a better way, thanks for watching!

Another great video to help me out with my old stuff from the 90s

[@no_coral.008]

I loved this tutorial, I was making my first bracelet and this helped get it done 😊

[@beadaholique]

So good to hear!

[@rachelreed9256]

This video is super helpful! Thank you ❤

[@ashley1968]

Thank you so much! This was so easy to follow!

[@leanykakicsi6152]

Thank you! I had trouble tying off the thread nicely after I added length.

[@corinnebasta5303]

I love watching your videos, they are very explicit and informative. I was wondering if you could help me with attaching a metal connector to the middle of a loom bracelet. I've searched all over the web and have seen pictures of it, Etsy has patterns of it...but the instructions are in a foreign language and when I tried to translate it, a lot was "Lost in Translation"! Any help, either printed or video would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any suggestions you may have...Stay Safe

[@beadaholique]

Is this a little like the sort of connector you're talking about? beadaholique.com/products/connector-link-stitch-in-6mm-2-pieces-bright-gold-by-tierracast We did a video a few weeks ago about how to hand-weave them into a peyote stitch. We haven't featured anything quite like that in a loom video yet, but take a look at the second half of this video embellishing loom pieces with metal components: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5KogIOdd9KEqpo The way Alexandra adds in the two hole beads should give you a sense of what it's like to loom a multi-hole connector into the middle of a piece.

[@corinnebasta5303]

@@beadaholique Thank you for taking the time to answer my posting...unfortunately these are not the same connectors. Is there a way I can send you a photo of the Bracelet?

[@beadaholique]

​@@corinnebasta5303 Sure, we'd like to help if we can. Go ahead and e-mail your question to our customer service team and attach a photo to the e-mail, we'll see if we have any tips or videos we can recommend for you. Here's the address: [e-mail]

excellent video, thank you

[@MrGja111]

Awesome work. 😊Love your videos.

[@lisab5069]

This is a GREAT video, thank you for sharing!! What type and size thread are you using?

[@beadaholique]

Thank you! The items in the video are usually linked below the video. We used Nymo thread size D. www.beadaholique.com/jewelry-making-supplies/beading-thread/nymo_-size_d?no_cache=true

[@terese7854]

Thanks for the vid

[@j.m.england6828]

Thank you for sharing this video, so how much thread in length will be needed in total to make let's say a 1.5" bracelet & how long should the needle be?

[@christinafriis8419]

How do you end the weawing?

[@beadaholique]

You can find this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2TEZYavotyJfdk Thanks so much!

[@Rockman99Fiction]

This is satisfying.

[@barbarafleury5465]

le bracelet est super pour le métier à tisser ou vous l'avez acheter il est super et me plait beaucoup

[@pinkiepie2173]

I have two questions: 1) Do I need that equipment that's holding all the beads in place? 2) Can I use as many beads as I want or it only has to be 15?

[@beadaholique]

1. The loom equipment keeps the threads at a consistent tension, without it you may find the beads on your finished piece bunching together unevenly. This technique also requires two hands, if you don't use a loom you will need to anchor both sides of the thread some other way. 2. You can use as many threads and beads as will fit on your loom and needle. We used 15 for this project because it's a good fit for the tube clasps we use to finish the piece and make it wearable. Finishing loom pieces can be tricky, there aren't a lot of other ready-made ways to turn loom work into bracelets. Here's a link to another method we've found that will work well with wider pieces: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goWZhp2bpMyceLs

[@pinkiepie2173]

+Beadaholique Ok, Thank You

[@cullumkille2372]

Beautiful bracelet. You are actually supposed to remove the metal rod after you put on the warp threads. It helps with the tension.

How very strange. I always work left to right.
