Great video, Jill!

[@pmaterri]

Love that you have the 2 and 3 herringbone spiral tutorials, I’ve needed ideas for chains to use with smaller pendants that I make. Thanks Jill!

[@Babette17C]

I'm so happy to see this! As a lampworker and a member of a bead society - I'm trying to find 'easy' necklaces so I can hang my lampwork pendants. I think this is just what I need! THANK YOU. Now I need to do some screen captures and create myself a tutorial from your hands so I do not forget how. Whoopie Skippie! I appreciate this so much.

[@christyboatwright3942]

Oh my I'm in love. This stitch/pattern/ lesson is amazing. Seed beads are my favorite beads. Thank you Jill you are awsome!!!!

[@jusuiselisabeth]

Oh so glad to be back on board with following you. Couple of years in abeyance,but back to my bead love and watching you again. All is good!

[@B3Kusa]

Thank you Jill for your time and beautiful work. I love your tutorials. And, you look so much better with your short hair style 💕

[@cynthiamershonscott9677]

Jill you are a wonderful lady and teacher. I have watched a lot of your videos to learn bead weaving stitches. Excellent...thank you.

[@isabelrowan6776]

Very clear instructions and demonstration, resulted in a very elegant chain made with size 15 gold beads for my enamel pendant! Thank you so much , Jill!

[@printme2010]

Ugh...I went through TUBES of beads with the two bead spiral - this one is even better!!! Thank you so much for your mad skills!!

[@kathieemerick2523]

Jill I love your tutorials. You said in this one about a regular herringbone stitch tube collapsing. I use tubing in mine. The tubing you use either in a fish tank or from oxygen. It works great

[@judyhahn55]

Love the new hairdo so cute love you too Jill keep up the good work... happy beading always😊

[@jcb0818]

Thanks for sharing a new design. And your new ‘do’ is fabulous on you😻

[@ljoystrasser4207]

Love this and the two bead spiral. Nice a dainty

[@marilynpeters9028]

So glad that I finally had the time to watch this video. Thank you Jill for a new "add" to my set of techniques!

[@DorisM3560]

Herringbone makes my heart beat faster!!!! Thanks for this... I love ropes and have been wanting a more dainty one. Thank you Jill for taking the time and giving this to us.

[@leapingkitties]

B/c I am slightly dyslexic I find beading a little difficult, but I still like doing it, so I appreciate your clear instruction and that it's posted so I can re-watch all the time. Thank you.

[@sky52879]

I recently figured out how to do the three bead herringbone and it felt great! It is great for pendent and bracelets that are much more dainty than other herringbone stitches. Thank you for the video. I was going down three and up two, and I now see I was just wasting thread! Great video! Thanks Jill!

[@trduesing4117]

Excellent! I have been struggling with the two bead spiral then I learned that the beads MUST be the same size! Alas, I was using Chec size 11 and they were NOT the same!! Lesson learned! Now I've got to try three...same size....beads! Thank you Jill....you keep me learning!

[@rbogernc]

Thanks for explaining how to do the three bead spiral. It is great! I'm going to try it. Jill, I learn so much from your videos. Your time to do them is much appreciated. Your new hairstyle looks great!

[@juliesutherland8892]

I've made two 3-bead ropes now; they are so soft & pretty. Absolutely LOVE this stitch. Thank you, Jill. ~~~> Funny thing though, I made a "mistake" between watching your video the first time and reviewing it just now - I load 2 beads for every stitch! I don't do two steps, adding 1 bead then 2 beads. And it looks perfectly fine. Sooo much easier than remembering two steps.

[@tarrymcnatt3806]

Just found your site from a friend telling me about you. Skype with my bead buddy, made my first two bead herringbone spiral. Love it..you hands on teaching is just what I need and you do it so well and I look at your other projects you mentioned. Thank you so much.

[@updownstate]

Jill, you just better every time. I am unpacking my beads after supper. Holidays are fast approaching.

[@eamoroso56]

I’m new to rope beading & you just gave me an idea of what to do with all the different pendants I bought that are too good for just a simple chain. 👏👏👏

[@mafuma5255]

Love these. I used to crochet ropes, but this seems much easier to do and you don't have to string you beads onto your thread beforehand.

[@sugenereux]

Jill I just love your instructional videos!

[@leostitcher]

Recently I purchased a beautiful glass pendant but it's really small. I think this stitch would make the perfect rope to hang this pendant. Thank you for doing this video Jill. Love the new hairdo. You look gorgeous.

[@annthompson6758]

Great teaching! You are very easy to follow.

[@mariaumann3498]

Thank you for showing this easy steep.

[@suetownsend1656]

You are an absolute treasure! Thank you so much for sharing this technique.

[@suzynash3487]

Love this. Nice and easy to do but very effective. Thank you for all that you give freely.

[@elizabethvallely4044]

WOW! Love the three herringbone rope looks quick and easy and fun to do, I sure hope to give it a try! Thank you for sharing! Hugs Liz...

[@golfgranny58]

Loved this for a new pendant I just made. LOVE your new hairdo!!

[@macsrock2010]

That looks really pretty and fun to do. I am going to try making a bracelet first then a necklace. I love your videos Jill. They are so helpful and you are a great teacher. 👍

[@clairebacchi360]

I love herring bone, and I love this three bead herring bone for a bracelet or necklace the best. Thank you Jill, 😊😘

[@berthamellinger3129]

Jill I just love your ending ❤ Thank you for another Great Video

[@ansjeloef8770]

Love the 3 bead spiral. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.

[@sue7777]

Oooo, I can't wait to give this a try! Thanks, Jill, for explaining and demonstrating this stitch for us.

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

I never would've guessed it was so simple. I love a 6 bead herringbone in 11's & 8's (haven't tried 15's), but sometimes it is nice to have a more narrow diameter rope. Love the look. TFS!

[@azmieabdulaziz7357]

[@marilynpeters9028]

If you put a 15° in the right position and an 11° in the left position, the "Twist" will be even more noticeable. And of course it works with 11° (R) and 8° (L)....

[@barbaracrawford3712]

Jill love your hair,,,, keep up the good work....

[@pso1391]

This is SO cool. I’ve been away from beading for a while but recently decided to have another go lol. I love herringbone, always have, and I actually think I learned it from you many years ago. I’ve been wanting a slim (but not flat) bracelet to sit along side my watch. I think this is it! For spirals though, my personal preference was to go down 1, up 2 and for me, less thread showed going that way. It’ll be interesting to see if works on this. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@sheilabarker1855]

Love this I’m going to try it

[@janetscofield7740]

Thank you so much! I love the way you teach, you make learning how so easy.

[@elizabethjohnson1976]

Loving your hair Jill it really suits you

[@cheche8353]

Finally got it....super fun technique. Thanks Jill!

[@Indudevidasi]

Thank you for doing this work! That’s exactly what I was looking for as a Christmas present for someone how likes only delicate Juwellary and I’m going to do it in 15/0 beads. 👍

[@BriSandi]

This is my first video of you and I already love you 🤗

[@Sunshine66Bklyn]

Just yesterday I was thinking how I could do a 3 bead circular stitch. Thank you Jill.

[@helgama3048]

Wow! ❤️Yesterday I did the two-bead spiral, today I am trying this one! Great new stitch! Congratulations 🎊🍾🎈🎉👋🏻🌸😄❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@natjerm69]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You make it so easy to understand.

[@joannewton]

Beautifully simple idea, thank you. (Love the new hairstyle!)

[@SS-jb8wj]

Thank you for the video. I discovered that the bead you come out of on the top is the bead colour that you pick up plus the next bead.

[@cindym1670]

I was just looking for a give me your rope for my little amulet I just finished. This one's a winner!

[@nicolenaylor3817]

Thank u for this...it's really funny how you had said you were going to post this tute in the 2-bead hb rope tute. I was looking all around for it and then it magically appeared in my inbox! Perfect timing. I LOVE all your videos. Thank u!!!

[@maluvelis]

Hace años que veo a esta gran Señora pero no he podido aprender nada porque todo es en idioma extranjero. Hace cosas maravillosas me encanta como muestra sus trabajos. Yo les pediría si pudiera hacerlo en español😊. Muchas gracias y felicito a la señora❤❤❤❤❤

[@jackiemaclennan5128]

Thank you Jill amazing tutorial. Love it so much

[@deborahnarendorf7106]

[@waynewiley9519]

Been looking for a delicate chain for a "fancy" pendant. This should do it. Thanks!!

[@margocarter6778]

Love this and can't wait to try this. Thanks so much Jill for graciously sharing your knowlege and time.

[@angeliquenicolas2375]

I love your new do by the way!! This will be my next project - pics when done! Thank you always for your clear and concise tutorials! I have made some beautiful pieces of jewelry and have learned so much! God bless you.

[@wendyramirez5311]

I love your videos and how you instruct so clearly! I’m new to beading, however, and need to know how you would add a clasp for this particular piece. Do you have some videos that show how to add a clasp on these exact ends? Thank you

[@kimharrington1764]

That is very cool! I love it, thanks!

[@tiozeh1000]

Your hair are so beautiful

[@j.whiteoak6408]

Fantastic Jill such a huge inspiration! Though would you mind talking about how you sell the beads and supplies please 🙏🙏🙀

[@deborahbreaux8980]

The colors you’re using 😍

[@missmaureen9509]

Thanks for sharing

[@Sunshine66Bklyn]

Jill the thread shows. I believe I'm doing it correctly and it's really nice spiral rope. Am I doing something wrong?😞

[@sarahvanrouwendaal1071]

I have the same problem! Do you have a solution? I know you wrote this a year ago, but hey, I’m still trying 🤭😂

[@JudithBrummett]

I have not watched your videos for a while and REALLY! love your hair. You are so pretty anyway but it looks like a beautiful cut for you. And Thanks for the video! great asw always

[@inezwong5654]

Love it...just what I needed....Thankyou Jill !!

[@somycrafty]

Love your work always❤️

[@nancymoore4602]

Can’t wait to try this.

[@sharonshields1482]

I love the spiral herringbone ropes, thank you for the tutorials. What ideas do you have for clasps.

[@kathybray7156]

Rbead herri g bone spiral nice job ❤

[@lindawhiteley4399]

You are amazing! I love your videos and you look wonderful!

[@donnamahanna7357]

Jill...So appreciative of these two herringbone rope stitch videos...do you have an existing video about how you would add a clasp? Thanks so much!

[@lorraineholstrom4274]

Why does the thread show? I had the same problem with the 2 bead spiral, so I gave that up as I do not like thread showing! Other than that you are my favorite to learn from, & then I teach a small class at a Senior Retirement Home ( individual apartments) where I live!!

[@r.t.9881]

Lorraine Holstrom I think the trick is when Jill says....encourage it to lean....that is where you want to kind of push the bead you are coming up through to move closer to the other bead...this limits the thread from showing so much...I am just starting this rope but I suspect it’s easier to ‘hide’ the thread the more you practice this stitch...

[@debbieurquhart8535]

This is a reply I posted to someone else...hope it helps I found a solution(for me), the thread still shows but it blends in better. I am adding only one bead at a time, instead of two...then one. Yes it is a little slower, but the result is worth it.

[@neylasol5950]

Yay I’m working on mine right now ! Thanks Jill

[@quiltingbirdie]

These are gorgeous. How would we add the clasps? Do you have a video for that? Or can we join the ends and make it into a bangle? Would really appreciate a reply...am planning to make this next! 🥰

[@myrnapennings6116]

I absolutely love this stitch, thank you so much! I can't wait to do lots of these!

[@spottheturkey]

Thanks so much for your informative tutorials! I made a 2 bead herringbone rope, now I'm doing the 3 bead herringbone. I have mastered the technique but I'm wondering if my tension is the reason that I see the threads. I'm using cream, turquoise and multicolored bead with navy thread. Should I use a nylon alternative like fireline? Thanks again! Please keep the videos coming! Update: I found fishing line of .15mm and .13mm and bought them online. I live in Turkey and finding some materials can be very challnging! This morning I remembered what I heard in a tutorial about threads for beading and thought I'd look at fishing lines. Sure enough an online fishing supply vendor has a lot of choices. I hope that the ones I ordered will be ok because I really hate the thread due to splitting and the difficulty of threading the needles.

[@kimlindseyOH]

That's my question exactly. I tried it 3 times & could always see the threads. I have never had this trouble with any bead techniques before, from Jill or anyone else. I don't know that I'll try again - life is too short. Also, hope you got the fishing line & it's working well for you! :-)

[@TheReeW]

Great..but how do you finish it and add a clasp?

[@sherylmincey6037]

Love your work... TFS... Can't wait to try this...

[@rukminicb6367]

[@vivianschannel1922]

[@bobbiebrian6927]

Love the new hairdo! Also love your tutorials. What colors did you use for the example.

[@maryfarnsworth9874]

Jill I love this new stitch, but what color did you use in this video, I used white but just didn’t like how it turned out, the thread shows too much !!

[@fatihabarreddine2508]

[@carolynsinyard1306]

[@rukminicb]
