Stitches: Two-Needle Start for Peyote

[@pat6539]

Love it! Thank you for the many years of ongoing lessons and tutorials. You’re the best!

[@conniebaileywilks8633]

OMG. I can't believe what a difference this makes! I'm sure I tried gourd stitch 20 years ago and got discouraged because of how hard it is to start. But this makes all the difference! I'm working on a bracelet now. Next is to watch your video about reading charts! Many thanks

[@shirleyrazey9595]

I took a year long break from beading! Came back and had to find you and go through the basics again. Thanks for giving me a great tutorial

[@JuneAllen-pc9jc]

I just love this two needle peyote start. It just makes everything easier ❤😊

[@sisterdianadoncaster1990]

I really appreciate this video and this technique. It's a lot easier that the regular peyote start - at least for me. I have also been working with your peyote starter strip - a real treasure that has made me a lot more eager to do peyote stitching. Thank you.

[@lanaavrutova128]

I 💕 LOVE Jill. She's the reason I have my beautiful stash of beads. She's the reason my waist beads are so unique. Thank you Jill!

[@barbaraanderson8828]

OMG! This is so much easier that the other start. I always have my beads flipping the wrong way on the other start method. ThNk you Jill!

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

I'm so glad it helped!

[@BeadinStyleWarrnambool]

Thank you. This stopped my beginning rows from twisting when bezelling a large cab. Grateful

[@PaulNewman3503]

I first found your tutorial about 6 months ago and found it be be a great technique. I have always struggled with the third row as well and now the tension is great in the first few rows. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise it is most appreciated.

[@joannewton]

It's so obvious when you see it done! Why didn't I think of that? Thanks for this brilliant idea Jill.

[@lyndakoetz984]

Wow! I forgot about this until now. I love it. I am finding 2 - needle stitching helps with tension & stability when making many patterns. Thank you!

[@SassyBoutique441]

Wow what a neat idea I have been looking for ways to start peyote. It is so difficult for me. I even made starter strips but this would be so much easier. Thank you so much.

[@akischannel4496]

Thanks for this tutorial! I loved it and I couldn't believe how easy it is to start a peyote stitch this way. I've been beading for years now and I've been so frustrated by the first few rows of peyote that for a very long time, I didn't use peyote stitch but used brick stitch instead (width-wise brick stitch looks the same as length-wise peyote stitch). Of course the resulting tension is not the same as the brick stitch is much stiffer and thus bracelets (which are my favourite kind of project) which are made from brick stitch are less comfortable than peyote stitch ones. Anyway, thanks again for this amazing new method - I've tried it and I can now proudly declare that I am no longer scared of peyote stitch!

[@Nuttermom]

Your tutorials are wonderful. The quality is wonderful and you are very clear and articulate. Thank you!

[@kathyworiax1089]

You are an excellent teacher Ms. Jill!!!

[@Angie-cu1cw]

Thank you! I’ve never attempted 2 needle and went down a rabbit hole in google trying to get out of it 😏. This video helped so much!

[@carolynbodnar2220]

Very helpful, I haven't beaded for quite a while and was ready to give up, thanks to this two needle video you saved the day for me. Thank you so very much.

[@eeloie2787]

I absolutely loooved this tutorial. Your tutorials are great, Jill! I have been beading, mostly peyote, for a couple of years now, but always have trouble with the first three or four rows. I had never heard of the two-needle start. Until now, I have always used a headpin in every other bead of the first row to make sure I don't get the first few rows twisted, but that can be a pain to hold on to the beads and the headpin. It's hard to keep the tension consistent also, but at least it stays straight and the rows aren't twisted. I haven't tried the two-needle yet since I just saw the video, but I just KNOW this will work better. I couldn't wait to tell you how great this is! If you could have seen the big goofy grin on my face as I watched you doing this, you would have thought I had just discovered ice cream! Thank you so much! I am going to subscribe and look forward to watching ALL of your tutorials!.

[@vzburns1]

I'm sure I had the very same look for exactly the same reason :-)

[@patriciarobinson486]

WOW! That is a great idea - I wish I would have watched this before. Going to send this over to my email so I can keep it awhile. Thanks Jill!

[@elizabethcorsini5499]

Thanks! This was very clearly presented and quite helpful to me.

[@tksimmer]

Love, love, love your videos. I am a newbie and already very addicted. I use this two needle method a lot for odd count peyote. Makes it easy to start my project and makes my turns a breeze. Thanks so much for your videos. Going to the bead and button show for the first time this year and am very excited! I will search you out at the meet the teacher event. Happy beading! Tara

[@shereneliscom6736]

i do find the information on our videos helpful, thank you for posting them .

[@denisewalker2017]

This is a great tutorial. I always have trouble starting out peyote and this method makes it easy and as you said straight on both sides. My sister recommended this video to me and it was a excellent recommendation. I love your videos.

[@cherylstiltner1379]

I finally figured it out Jill!! Thank you.

[@OttoAndMom]

Love using the two needle method for odd count flat peyote!

[@germainejoseph8668]

As a lefty this was very clear for me.

[@soucky1]

WOW! that's cool,but it's the first time i see using two needles for Peyote stitch & i will try this method & i will tell you how it goes for me Jill. Great tutorial i really enjoy to learn this new way to do it Thank's to share!

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

Thanks Sylvie - I love seeing the comments from you. It's like getting a visit from a good friend!

[@soucky1]

Ohhh! how sweet is that your response touch my heart & i have a secret for you dear Jill i always wait your next video to spend time whit my best Friend,because in my heart it's exactely what you are for me!! Thank's my best friend LOL ! :-))

[@TheWjack]

A new technique that I have never heard about or seen in any pattern.Going to give this a try.Seems like fun. Thank you! :)

[@WhiteVelvet21]

I love doing peyote designs, this technique is really great and easy.. Thank you so much !

[@oceanlady1956]

Thanks, I am enjoying your videos as much as I have your book on beaded ropes. I tried this today, much cleaner smoother piece starting with the two needle technique.

[@tbeadg]

love it for starting and maybe finishing as well. I made several bangles using 2 needles. My bid problem with peyote is odd count turn around. I never get it. What I need is the best teacher in the business making a video of that. lol Jill, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity in doing these videos. You are really special. Those boards look wonderful but why would one need 12?? Thanks again. Terry

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

I need a ton of the beading boards because I always have a ton of half-finished projects everywhere! Beading ADHD.

[@judykeenanharris1869]

Simple but great idea. Thanks

[@lindabennett3689]

I try the 2 needle peyote and I love it. I just continue to a flat peyote. I have try for at least 3 month to get the first 3 rows to come out right. I did the 2 needle in no time at all. Thank you.

[@MrPebbles42]

That was a great video I just learned peyote stitch and I was wondering why my project curved now I no why so just tried it your way and it was straight and so much easier to hold thanks for the video can't wait to see what's next have a great Christmas and a safe and happy new year

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

Yay! I'm super glad it helped you out!

[@jaymewitcher7852]

Much easier! Thank you for showing that I always have a hard time starting it!

[@cmgs1970]

I think I will try this. Thank you😊

[@dianeburrow6717]

Inquiring mind wanted to know!. Always wondered about this--both why and how. Gotta try it!

[@SandraRomero-hg3rk]

I really like this 😊

[@kimcaldwell1858]

Kim Caldwell I just love your videos and watch them almost exclusively. Do you have a video for starting flat odd count peyote. How would one turn around to continue 4th row. This video was great but I do not wish to join into a circle.

[@GeminiDolly52951]

When you get to end of doing the number of stitches you need after you use 2 needles, then you have to make a turn for flat peyote, is the first row after the turn considered row 3 of a pattern if that is what I am following? Thanks for the turorial. I am going to give this a try.

[@hartmarilyn]

very helpful!

[@brendafreeman8714]

Thank you very much for sharing this video Jill, Can I use this technique for the peyote with a twist - not crochet ? Thank you very much, From Brenda Freeman.

[@veronicacooksey3958]

fantastic tutorial. Do you have a website Jill? I to am a kinetic learner and learn visually. Thanks so much for sharing x

[@ladiehawk]

Could you show how this would be done when the starting rows are different colours

[@RubyStandingDEER]

contact her on facebook

[@greenelf912]

shjoe your good! thanx Jill.

[@merryclicker]

Could you, potentially, continue on both sides? Single needle, of course, for each, but is there a reason why you couldn't?

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

You could!

[@theburlkitten]

thanks very nice tutorial!

[@cynthiamorimoto6082]

i liked this because i have difficult with peyote. But what can i do with the olher needle thanksss i loveeee your work.

[@iphonad]

Great way Love it, thnx so much

[@allysahill5528]

Can this be modified for a two drop stitch? Thanks, I've been using all your tutorials on peyote this week.

[@joannewton]

Yes, you would just put 2 beads on each needle then cross over through 2 beads.

[@yami153]

You've made a straight line with a length of 3 centimeters. But how should I do such a line but with 35 centimeters.

[@rimaphillips9750]

Can you do a tutorial on how to use this to capture a cabachon?

[@nangustafson8110]

Thank you for the tutorial. Will give this a try. Can I ask you too, where did you get the bead mat with the rolled edge?

[@JillWisemanDesigns]

Hi Nan - The bead board I use in the videos is WONDERFUL! It's from www.beadonitboards.com . I have about 8 of them now in all different sizes. My favorite to start out with is the 8x11 though. We'll be having a giveaway of one in January, so stay tuned!

[@socklady50]

i have a cabochon i made and i will try this on it. thank you.

[@aprilporcellini9299]

If you where making a bracelet that way home would you finish it off.

[@maryajohnson2500]

Another use for 2-needle is for flat odd-count peyote.

[@rebelgregston3097]

I can't even do it this way!

[@librariall]
