That is awesome! 🎉

Thank you, As a beginner, it was very helpful to understand the difference!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you Allie. I’ve been wondering how you can tell the difference and you did a great job of explaining. Appreciate it.

I appreciate the video and will definitely help when physically looking at a completed piece as well as a pattern that shows thread path. But when looking at a picture I don’t know how you would be able to see the thread path

[@Oonagh72]

I can tell tell the difference, but I don’t know why. I think I work it out based on the most logical way to make something. Foe example increasing and decreasing peyote stitch is too convoluted for most projects, and brick stitch usually won’t be super long.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Great point!

[@tussah8874]

Is there any difference in stiffness? I'm working a brickstitch bead purse pattern now, but using peyote stitch. I'm happy with the look/feel, but wonder whether it might make a difference in other projects. Good information about thread showing along the edges.

[@happylittle426]

I’ve read that brick stitch is more supple than peyote.

[@marybotkin7297]

I think brick is much stiffer because the threading is going under the previous thread bridges for each stitch/ bead. Peyote threads through the beads.

[@VElaineA]

Allie, it would be great to see how you can identify brick or peyote in a pattern.

Do you have a pattern for the brick stitch feather earrings in the tutorial?

Is there a pattern for the earrings u are wearing?

[@Potomacbeadco]

They are the jagged drop earrings!

[@Emsforme]

For me personally the stiffness of my project is usually the first key. My peyote tends to be soft and flexible

Brick stitch is stiffer than peyote.
