Beautiful thank you for generosity in sharing!

[@FusionBeadsSea]

We hope you enjoy, Linda!

[@TrulyScrumptiousxxx]

Thank you for this fantastic podcast, I actually get it now! X👍

[@cireland4648]

Peyote gets easier once you get past the first four rounds. Don't ask me about the counting I'm still working on that 🌹

[@FusionBeadsSea]

We hear you! With a little bit of practice you'd be amazed at how quickly you will master the stitch. Please tag us on Facebook with any of your creations!

[@gloriathomas9873]

I'm glad to hear that I am so struggling with the first two rows so I've decided to watch a video for help, can't seem to follow the graph designs.💅🏻

finally I got it!!! Thanks

[@shelleyannmargaretagate269]

I found this very easy to follow but I did struggle seeing the cream bead with the table background

[@Topitoffable]

Is there a part 2 on how to end it off and add a clasp?

[@elsadiora_]

I’m a newbie, this tutorial is very clear and thorough. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you for uploading this. Keep uploading ❤️❤️👏🏻👍🏻

[@queenbombus]

Do you have a video on the difference between odd and even count peyote stitch?

[@shannonbiagas3330]

Do you have a video on how to finish the ends to make a bracelet ,I dont know what clasps you use or what to do.

[@lindagillespie6556]

Yes yes yes! My mother beaded she has passed I didn’t get to grow up with her much. I so want to learn

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Our condolences Linda. We hope through beading with us, you feel closer to her.

[@es0torok]

I wish you would create a mirror video for lefties. Similar to the way Bella Coco does with her crochet tutorials.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Great idea!

[@lorrainebrown3227]

I'm a left handed person and my grandmother just didn't have the patience to teach me to crochet. I learned in my own after watching many elders. I wish there were tutorials for left handed people especially on little stitches such as this!

[@patriciat2609]

Awesome tutorial! Just wondering why you don't turn your work at the end of each row so your always working right to left? Is it just personal preference or is there a specific reason?

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hi Patricia, it was so that our tutorial would not confuse folks when switching constantly :)

[@marthesefloresmartin6476]

Thank you for your help a good explain But can you do a darker cloth under the light color of beads please it will be better to understand what are you doing Thank s a lot

[@doreenwatson-read]

I understand what your doing, it makes perfect sense. Then my hands and brain get involved and I end up with a whole lot of tangled mess. I just can't get past the first 4 rows. Wouldn't it be nice if you could buy kits with the first 4 rows done for you. I even saw that you, an expert had to stop and look at what on earth was going on.

[@lavender.tocabova3253]

omg! yes i had the same issue, what also kept happening for me was that the little end strings would get stuck with the beading process. I totally agree!!

[@dragonclaws9367]

Use delica seed beads don't just buy any old thing. The roundness on the things and inconsistency had me thinking I forgot how to do it. I said okay I will use my expensive ones works up straight and even as they are all uniform. They just don't zigzag right when they aren't all the same size.

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

Can you show how to do forest animals with flat square stitch for amulets, please? Looking for patterns

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hi @ButterflyMagicwithHotTea, we sadly do not have any tutorials or patterns for cute little animals. We did though find a great tutorial here www.interweave.com/article/beading/learn-stitch-beaded-pets/

[@bethannomiyosiw]

How do you changed threads once it’s too short

[@dragonclaws9367]

So when you complete all your base rows it halves your width? If you are trying to eyeball how wide the finished product halve the base chain? ( Crocheter also). Everybody do yourself a favor and spend extra for delicas. I have tried and tried with 'craft store level ' beads and they just don't stack right at all even in brick.

[@doloresungerleider4984]

Very difficult to see the technique on this light background. Using 6mm beads would have been much better to see exactly how the actual pattern is executed.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We did not use 6mm beads for this particular technique because they aren't the easiest to do a peyote stitch with. We do have a great tutorial on our website that might help you to see how the technique is done more clearly: www.fusionbeads.com/peyote-stitch-techniques

[@danbev8542]

Old eyes here! A closer zoom and beads contrasting from background would help. Otherwise good job.

[@caroldurrance914]

Woulda ever liked to see the end bead added on the even count, but the camera was too far away.

[@adachc]

How many beads do I need for a bracelet?

[@FusionBeadsSea]

It depends on the pattern you would like to try! For example, our Double Diamond Peyote bracelet requires 4 grams of each color. Please feel free to check it out at: www.fusionbeads.com/double-diamond-bracelet ! The instructions are free to download, view, or print! Let us know if we can be of further assistance. We are available via live chat, Monday through Friday, 9 am - 4 pm Pacific Time, via e-mail at [e-mail], or call us at 1.888.781.3559, Monday through Friday, 8 am - 4 pm Pacific Time.

[@beaglesforlife3361]

depends on the size of your beads, and the size of your wrist and the width of the bracelet. divide the sive of your wrist by the size of your beads and thhats the number of beads for the first row, the rest of the rows are half the number of beads in the first row.

[@lotegederte1432]

Hello, technically I understand the tecnique, but I don't understand why my line with this pattern goes diagonally not straight? I am confused .. :( What I am doing wrong? I use unflexible tread and small beads. Tank you!

[@qwazizor]

wait am i supposed to come out that cream and skip over that cream and then go into that cream?

[@autumn-_-uwu8340]

Still hard to see with the two different colours maybe use darker beads and maybe do a more close up otherwise it’s ok tutorial

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Thank you Bonnie. We will do better to use colors that show up on camera better.

[@Jeni10]

It's the lighting, it's over-exposed, so either dim the light slightly or alter the camera's aperture.

[@karenkarlsen9809]

What size beads ate these

[@karenkarlsen9809]

Are these

[@katsitsiaientos1]

so easy with delicas.. round beads have me saying stuff that I cant repeat.

[@katsitsiaientos1]

time for a break grrr lol

[@rafiyahaque5411]

How to remove the first bead

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hi @Rafiya, to remove the first bead, just feed the tail back through the same direction it exits, it will help to loosen the bead and allow you to slide it off.

[@dawnbaker7861]

What size thread and brand

[@katiesbeenyarnified]

She said at the beginning of the video

[@sandrabenesch2816]

I am a Beginner! and I am looking to learn this craft... Would you help me learn?

[@FusionBeadsSea]

This video is perfect for you! It will help you get started with learning a beading stitch. You can also check out our other videos for projects. We're so glad you are starting to bead!

[@sandrabenesch2816]

Thank you.

[@judithgoodwin8013]

What are Delica beads? How are they different from what we see in the craft stores? That is confusing. Are there any books with diagrams that show us how to do this. Every video I’ve watched has giving me a headache… Lol … Not to be rude, it seems everyone goes rather quickly and we are straining to see what is going on… You were so far is the best one.

[@nikigough6983]

You can slow the videos down in the settings if they are going too fast for you. Just an idea. Also the beads are called Miyuki Delica beads, if you search for them they should come up. They are more of a flat sided bead rather than a round edge bead so they fit together like bricks if that makes sense?

[@judithgoodwin8013]

This comment is not just Addressed to your tutorial.... it seems that all of the videos one go to quickly, to the beads are too far away for us to really see clearly what everyone is doing, should be done under a magnifying glass much more slowly so that we can really get a clear picture of what is going on and I do believe the work should be turned and have explained you were going from left to right and right to left etc. small details are very important in teaching. As I teach hand appliqué I am Ridiculous and the fact that I teach every little detail humanly possible so that everybody can get it…

[@sandragoodge6296]

You can slow the video down yourself.

[@gayleallen5258]

It is very hard to see as you are using cream beads on cream background.

[@mokao6333]

this is just like kandi just smaller

[@MorriganSlayde]

wait is even count EASIER than odd count? Have I been avoiding the easier one this whole time???

[@marievandenberg4939]

Why dont you use a darker backgrounf

[@teresaknights7078]

Thank you for your instructions, however, I find your choice of bead colour on the white background incredibly hard to see. I will look for other videos for clearer view of what to do.

[@user-ni7pz4bq3m]

صباح الخير كيف حالك

صباح الخير ، فريقنا شكرا لك!

[@artsygala]

Why not just collect the number beads per row all at once on the needle and pass the needle through all of them, instead of doing each bead individually?

[@mrliminal6247]

good idea in theory,but I’m pretty the beads wouldn’t stack the way they do if you tried that,one bead at a time,to make shure their all stacked nicely,

[@trasyfrost7633]

Totally appreciate what you are doing, but it is very hard to see as your background blends with the beads and too far away. Thanks for the effort :)

[@julieweinstein8221]

Why do you say that this is 8 beads across when the 8 beads split out and become two rows?

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hi Julie! Great question. The peyote stitch is created by the interlocking segments. Each "row" is consisting of one up and one down totally the number of beads at the start, in this case 8.

[@beaglesforlife3361]

thats just how you measure them.

[@glorioneill1799]

Just wish your mat was in a dark color. Awesome tutorial otherwise. 👌

[@maluvelis]

La camera esta muy Lejos, se ve muy Chiquita la imagen y poco destenida , poco Clara

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Lo siento, Clara, hacemos todo lo posible para proporcionar videos de calidad, especialmente al trabajar con cuentas tan pequeñas. Existe la opción en los videos de KZbin para aumentar su tamaño o para acercar y obtener una imagen más grande.

[@ginadiaz8172]

Can't really see what you are doing

[@martbright]

Too hard to see

[@user-ux7ld9xc3j]

Very difficult to see your video. You don’t see your beads.

[@clarasoke8572]

Keep CV hqqhà

[@jocelynmorales4636]

Too far to see

[@shannonalexa4699]

Terrible color choice. Can't see what you're doing. Maybe use bigger beads as well for a tutorial...🤷

[@sunnysidecats]

There is not enough contrast between the beads and the background. With 13k subscribers, hire professional photographers/ videographers and editors. Also, not trying to be rude, but the word "across" is not pronounced with a "t" on the end.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hello Studio B! Thank you for your valuable feedback! We are always growing and improving upon the quality of our videos, even with professional photographers and videographers, we are all growing and learning. As for word usage, we each have our own speaking nuances and do our best to showcase our designers talent in beadwork. We do apologize that our video tutorials do not met your expectations but will continue to improve based on our customer's feedback.

[@michellelewis9409]

What kind of life are you living that you needed to comment in such a thoughtless way? Did her slight pronunciation differences deter you that much from the point of the video? I could see the beads just fine with the contrast provided. This video was well done, well lit, and easy for me to see. And it was FREE, you didn't pay to watch it. You may not have been trying to be rude, but you came across as rude anyway. Go take a look at yourself in the mirror and make sure you like who you see.

[@TV-rq3qw]

@ Studio B: Stop being such a whiner. Stop criticizing. You have an extra space after the word "background," you have an extra space after the slash you put between "photographers/ videographers" (and it is not written correctly anyway), and you have an extra space after the word "editors." You're not perfect. Clean up your own backyard.
