"Get him sitting the way he should; no naughty beads." 😂😂 You wouldn't believe how many times I've giggled over this.

[@sarimkhan6668]

Wow mam im beginner just started beading thing i went through so many tutorial but it was hard to understand but did it so simple and easy thanx alot

[@debradavis3758]

I want to thank you. This is the first stitch and video that I could catch on to. I used to weave years ago and I seem to have forgotten everything. Keep up the good work.

[@kristasanford1280]

Thank you Jill! This helped me so much. I've only made simple peyote stitch dangly earrings before. I've really wanted to make bracelets. This is a great video that helped me learn how. Everything is presented in a simple, clear and extremely followable way. I'm able to make beautiful beadwork right out of the gate.

[@hannahbarnes7607]

Finally a tutorial a beginner can actually follow. Thank you for explaining everything clearly!

[@alliel06]

Yess so true

[@annettepayne822]

I’ve been a beginner bead for years ,I’ve never been able to do weaving until this video. I’ve watched tens of identical tutorials that simply don’t have the amount of information that you’ve included. You’ve changed my life , and that is not an exaggeration. 💐💐💐

[@GredaArmada]

As a beginner in the craft of beading you are an excellent teacher. I look forward to learning the craft watching your videos. Thank You

[@sharonbwd]

Jill, you are my "go-to" for tutorials! Thank you, thank you, thank you for always being super easy to follow! I love your creations, too!!!

[@tamieh4599]

Hi Jill I wanted to thank you for this video. I have severe dyslexia and I watched several videos on how to do this stitch for two rows for my new endless loom. Last night I was almost in tears because I was so confused. Videos from very respectable bead Connoisseurs, I couldn't even grasp the concept !! When I decided not to give up and try one more time, I found your video. I was like, oh ok !! I got it right away and just finished my rows and I'm ready to loom !! You helped me Tremendously. Thank you.

[@katefoster9779]

Jill you are simply wonderful. As someone who needs visual, tactile and auditory instructions your programs are through and well narrated! I also appreciate the filming as you can easily see the steps involved. Thank you so much!

[@sharjones2633]

Thank you so much you are a beading guru ! I finally get square stitch. I love that you take your time and slowly show where your thread paths are going. Keep doing your videos and I'll keep watch and learning. you're a great teacher. Thanks. :-)

[@amymontalbano6139]

[@teixeiradasilva6299]

[@lindaflescher]

I am a beginner and finally understand how to do this stitch. You are a great teacher!

[@mmtpleasant]

Thank you!! Ur instructions r so clear!

[@MarYT961]

Hi Jill: I loved beading when I was younger having lived in the Great White North (Ontario, Canada). That's where I saw a lot of it and even had a few pieces. I guess it stayed with me because this Christmas left me with wanting to decorate bulbs, and I "winged" my 1st beaded ornament. I'M HOOKED. I love your tutorials, they are clear, concise and you do beautiful work. An inspiration. Subscribed and Liked, Marge

[@cowleyscorners7736]

I messed up and put dislike i mm new at this but have watched a few videos and never got any stitch until I watch you! You are the best teacher. Your voice ,appearance ,friendly and patience comes across thanks for being you! Teri

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

Yes - there will definitely be intermediate and advanced videos in the future. I wanted to start off with beginner stuff because I didn't want to scare the beginners away! But keep watching! I have enough material brainstormed for the next year and a half already!

[@royalgussy3521]

Just started getting into beading this year. It is a good way to pass time in 2020. I have been looking for a tutorial for what seems like forever and this one is by far the best and easiest to follow. Thank you for this video😊

[@mpparsley5526]

You are awesome! I just finished watching your tutorial, since I recently started Beading. Six years later and all of your lessons are still going strong. I am watching as many tutorials as I can and I find you are the only teacher out there I am able to follow, understand your precise instructions, clear voice and patient lessons. Please do not stop your special gift of teaching this wonderful art form. Thank you so much.

[@VAnu-qb1zv]

Honestly, the best video for a beginner! I can't thank you enough. Much love. Xoxo

[@rosaelinav8036]

Omg Jill, that's amazing don't even need to do any more tight on the bracelet. Thank you for sharing your videos, I'm glad I'm following you, and thank you for showing us a easy way to keep the stopper from being on the bottom. I love the new way. Thank you and blessed to you ✨😍✨

[@sarahstewart2059]

Took me a few times to learn NOT to cut my thread prior to starting a new one. I do this for most of my projects now just to keep me in the same place. Great advice Jill! Could have used that a few years ago! Haha Love your tutorials and thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@Beth82643]

This is what i need. Thank you ❤

[@melissahancock2248]

[@amandathompson4692]

Your tutorials are great. I'm a jewelry maker and metalsmith and seed bead stitches mystify me. I'm going to watch this again when I make some earrings step by step. Thank you.

[@Seattle1951]

Hi Jill. Thank you so much for your wonderful instructional videos! I am primarily a quilter, but I'm currently working on some small wall quilts that I'm incorporating beads into. I came across your website kind of randomly, and am excited to make some small things to use in my quilting projects. Thanks to you I'll be able to do some really fun and interesting stuff!

[@thecornerofcraft]

Thank you for this video :) I've mastered the basic stitch and decreasing but I still need to work on increasing! I find brick stitch so much easier, which is why a lot of the tutorials on my channel are brick stitch! Keep up the good work x

[@zoeyprasad]

Your tutorial is so easy to follow. I made this for my mom and she loves it . Your video is one that I will be watching from now on thank you so much for teaching me to make it ❣️and I love how you say there neighbors that's a great way to call the beads next to each other

[@tiftyme]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been wanting to try this for so long candy failed miserable. This is the first video in which the direction to stitch has been broken down for me to understand!!!

[@roxannewilcoxlyons3738]

I am absolutely new at learning how to bead. Looking forward to learning from your videos

[@galeem713]

This was one of the first stitches I learned. I prefer it over many. I love craw and other craw variations. Kate McKinnon got me into herringbone and I love it now. But if you have good tension, you don’t need to go back through each row. I do it for the first few and then every 5-10 rows after. The only drawback is you have to really work to embellish the edge, but it always gives you a super straight edge, especially if using Japanese beads.

[@tvc153]

Wow you made that easy. You are a great teacher.

[@Knittyneeds]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing. xxx

[@doloresgonzalez6988]

Thank you so much Jill your a great tutor.I have learned to make so many things .I am a new beader.I have seen other tutorials and they are not good at explaining they're fingers are covering what there showing you to make or it dark and blurry.

[@theminimalist6595]

At present square stitch is the main bead weaving technique that I use for my bead woven ‘wall art’ panels. I end a thread and start a new thread in pretty much the same way you demonstrated, but for extra security I also apply a few half-hitch knots. These knots are attached to the thread passing through the beads (not the bridge threads) and in this way each knot is gently tugged into the bead.

[@angryman5953]

Ohhhh thank you really really much. It was really helpful 🤗❤️🌹

[@KamoreeLove]

I finally got it practice makes progress I just needed to work with bigger beads with the thread and needle I had thank you so much ☺️
