@Maddux Princeton i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

I like the precision of your language! It makes the mess much less messy!

Thank you so much for your kind words. If you want to learn another stitch, here is one www.potomacbeads.com/how-to-h... on Hubble.

This is by far The best video for that stitch there is. Thank you so much.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Glad it was helpful and you are so very welcome! Thank you so much for watching! Here is another video that shows that same bracelet with embellishments! www.potomacbeads.com/how-to/projects-tutorials/holiday-themed-projects/winter-blossom-bracelet.html

[@rving642]

You are the best teacher on KZbin. The way how you explain what you are doing is so concise and clear which makes it extremely easy to follow along. I also really appreciate that you add the “why” in each step so it makes it easy to remember the stitches since we know the reason behind where we are going next. Also, this stitch just looks so pretty when finished. ❤

[@Ruthie2591]

Thank you SO MUCH for your clearly explained tutorial on this chenille stitch. I have been watching tutorial after tutorial as I’ve been making my first chenille stitch bracelet.. YES. it’s the turns that are confusing me. I must say though, that your explanation is the easiest to follow and I believe I can finally proceed without the tutorial playing as I bead. I really appreciate your calm, and most simple instructions. I look forward to your next lesson.

[@Potomacbeadco]

You are so welcome! We're so glad you found our tutorial helpful and enjoyable.

[@lojuanapurvis5749]

Thank you so much Allie. This one was a bit of a challenge but I did not let it defeat me! I got it and can’t wait to make many more. I appreciate you and all the other ladies that spend so much time making videos for folks like myself that without you I would be lost in the beading world. Thanks again so very much!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you, Lojuana!

[@chrisman234]

This bracelet is quite beautiful.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you for watching! This stitch is very sleek and beautiful, we love it! Here is another version of this bracelet embellished with a floral accent! www.potomacbeads.com/how-to/projects-tutorials/bracelet-projects/winter-blossom-bracelet.html

Fabulous tutorial especially showing how to join a new thread and how to join the clasp.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Glad it was helpful!

[@judystubepages8910]

Thank you so very much. Your directions were great, but I was still having trouble. So I finally started over again, very slowly, with you as you beaded and talked. I changed bead color every time you changed something row by row. When you started the repeats, I could finally see them better and your explanations as to what was needed, I finally “got it”. Thanks for your clear explanation. ❤️

[@Potomacbeadco]

Wonderful! So glad you got this! This stitch is a bit more complicated than RAW or Peyote stitch however once it clicks, you know you got it! And like with anything else, the more you do it, the easier it gets. The trick is to never give up! Here is an embellished Chenille stitch bracelet video you may enjoy! www.potomacbeads.com/how-to/projects-tutorials/winter-blossom-bracelet.html

[@deborahdawson9492]

THANkYOU for this genius tutorial! What a gift for teaching you have!

[@marty3697]

After watching many chenille stitch tutorials, I found yours was the best and the beautiful design as well. I ordered from Potomac beads the exact bracelet you did as I found it was so beautiful. Thanks for the great instructions, Allie!

This is such a cool stitch!❤

[@Potomacbeadco]

Isn't it? We totally agree! It looks beautiful embellished but it also looks very elegant on its own. Here is the embellished version in case you 'd like to check it out! www.potomacbeads.com/how-to/projects-tutorials/holiday-themed-projects/winter-blossom-bracelet.html

[@bellj753]

LOOOOOVVVEEEE IT!!!! Stick with the video people! I stopped too early and tried to rewind to find the repeat spot and wasted a lot of time. Allie will go through all the tricky parts after the basic tutorial pattern. Such a beautiful piece, can't wait to finish mine! Thanks!

[@Potomacbeadco]

You're the best!

Ever since I learned how to stitch tubular chenille at least 18 months ago, I've wondered how to stitch flat chenille, but I couldn't find a tutorial for it - until now. THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this terrific tutorial! It really does look simple. Well maybe not simple, but easy enough once learned and in a rhythm. The possibilities for the flat chenille stitch, embellished or not, seem endless depending on the combination of beads used. I can actually imagine a 15/0 on either side of the outer edge 11's for a little more embellishment or bling. Anxious to give this a whirl, esp. since seeing your Winter Blossom bracelet. Thanks again!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thanks, Michelle! Happy New Year!

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

@@Potomacbeadco Happy New Year to you as well.

[@komalbhardwaj307]

You are amazing. It's a little difficult project for me cause I am new student in jewelry making. I will definitely try this challenge. You have wonderful 👏 way of teaching. You are A+ teacher. I would love to be your student. I learned a lot. When I start working on this project I will keep watching step by step your tutorial. Thanks again 🥰 Komal.

I’m not much of a bead weaver...... I love to string more than anything. I don’t think I’ve seen the Flat Chenille stitch, or if I have it’s been a long time. Your lesson today was very helpful and thorough!! After seeing the completed bracelet on you.....this is a bracelet I would love to try!! Thanks so much Allie!!! I wish you, your family and everyone and their families at Potomac Beads a Happy and Safe New Year!! ❤️📿🎉

HaHa, Allie, I'm not even trying to do this stitch and already I'm confused!! I think I'll have to let this one marinate for a while...Thanks for sharing this beautiful stitch and bracelet project with us.

Sue Sometimes if you watch a few other people doing the same stitch, it starts to become clearer. Don't give up yet, Sue.

[@vickyallison9166]

Thank you so much Allie for a great tutorial. It took me quite a while to master this stitch with your excellent help.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Glad it was helpful!

[@elenacervinkova7720]

Je tu na KZbin viacero videí s technikou Chenille, ale Vaše podanie je z nich najkrajšie. Pridala som si jedno okienko aby som mala náramok širší, bude pre dcéru, má štíhlu ruku tak jej vynikne. Veľmi pekne ďakujem že ste sa s nami podelila o návod...❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️

[@hadalamat5039]

🤯🤯❗❗ Complicated turns, I got bored of the impossible, although I experienced it and I almost have a bracelet but I can't keep looking at the computer because I can't find the logic to memorize and flow with work. Nice work. Thanks for sharing

[@fuzzylop9164]

I like the look of that stich.

[@fieldofhair]

I will have to put this on my list of projects to do. Very nice and clear instructions. And I like the darker bead mat for this tutorial!

[@dvcrztb]

Love it. Great that it is on video so we can go back and stop and get it right. I hope! Happy New Year!

It's a good idea to watch a few times before you try it yourself. Happy New Year!

nice stitch, this is the last tutorial of this 2019, have had fun 2 years on yours channel and eu e-commerce , just thanks a lot and happy new year in few hours incoming, love ❤️

[@darlaboyle1074]

I believe this is the first time I've ever seen a tutorial on flat chenille stitch. Tubular chenille stitch is one of my faves. You said herringbone stitch but I think it's more like peyote. Maybe odd count peyote with the 8/0 turnaround.

[@DANA25ELENA]

Wonderful . Happy New Year.

[@carolynsinyard1306]

You make beading so enjoyable. I am so thankful that I found your channel. May this coming New Year be the best for you and your wonderful company.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thanks, Carolyn! Happy New Year!

[@juanjoseduran6325]

Un saludo, yo uso esta técnica pero solo con rocalla 11/0, veo que tu usas 11/0 y 8/0...no queda nada mal y es mas cómodo. Enhorabuena por el vídeo.

Gorgeous... thank you

[@butler140]

I get to going pretty good and then I seem to derail about at row 5 or 6 and I'm sure I look like a deer in headlights!!! It's a great tutorial, but I'm going to have to do it over and over to finally get it. It's those turns lol!!!! Thanks so much and I'll keep at it!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Watch it without working it, until you can predict each move just before it's shown. That way, you gain confidence without the stress of having to keep undoing it. 😜👍🏼

[@butler140]

@@Potomacbeadco I got it!!!!!! Something finally clicked! It's not that hard at all - just problem solve. I'm so excited. Thanks Allie!!!!!

[@Maisysmumma]

Wish you would come up with one of these bracelets that could work as a watch band for Fitbit. Using seed beads or delicacies would be lovely I have a gazillion of them :-)

[@Potomacbeadco]

That's a great idea!

[@rosiehodges2547]

Love this bracelet! It’s taking me a while to get this stitch but I’m totally determined! Do you have a video that shows a different style clasp? Maybe two buttons or something like that. Thank you all for your many great tutorials, I’m learning so much!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hi Rosie, we do not have one for this video but here is a video with a couple options kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYfJpaN8j6mgZrs

[@soileilkkala8831]

Took me forever to wrap my brain around tubular Chenille stitch , this is so clear instruction that seeing 3 rows I knew what I am supposed to do . Thank You Allie ! Happy New Year to all of you !

[@StitchesbySharonH]

Wow! This is beautiful but I’m going to save it until I’m more experienced. I’ve only been beading for a little over a year and even though I was sort of able to follow along, I don’t quite “see” how to do the sides yet. But I know I’ll get there which is why this will go on my list of future projects! Thank you for sharing all levels of designs - I love seeing things like this that give me something to aim for so I can really see the progress I’m making as things click! Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year! 💜

[@Potomacbeadco]

Same to you, Sharon! Thanks!

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

Beautiful stitch and great tutorial, thank you so much Alie. Blessings for a wonderful New Year. ✨💖✨💫

[@Richiedei50]

Brilliant. 🤗

[@lexxilove9894]

I love this stitch. I followed the tutorial and even bought the same clasp off your site. The bracelet is beautiful but the clasp (I ordered 3 and they're all the same) is very stiff and now I wish I didn't sew it onto my bracelet. I'm going to have to take it apart and start over because the clasp doesn't open very easily AT ALL once the bracket is on. :-(

[@lexxilove9894]

So....upon further inspection, I realized the cause of the issue was my own error!! Clasp is still pretty stiff but workable and getting better each time I use it!! I am in love with this stitch!!!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Yeah, the clasps get easier as you use them, they just need wearing in, like new shoes. 😃

[@ribeastie6479]

I love this stitch. Thank you for the great tutorial! Only issue I am having is finding a clasp. The one pictured is no longer available. Is there a particular size I should look for in a 3 strand clasp?

[@marinamorales5049]

Queda hermosa ojalá me quede así yo uso telar 🤲🥰🌷saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾

[@SClark-uw9tf]

Hi Ally! Mahalo for sharing this easy and friendly video. With this project, can I use Toho instead of Myuki? Mahalo 🤙🏽

[@Potomacbeadco]

Yes of course!

[@shannonspoon3449]

What do you do with the stop bead? Did I miss it? Beautiful bracelet.

[@Potomacbeadco]

The stop bead comes off at the end of the project and the clasp is attached.

[@Jeni10]

Chenille stitch and Pondo stitch look the same but are worked very differently. Is there a difference between them that I've missed or are they the same stitch by different methods?

[@Vinaluv]

When you got to the 5th row, it confuses me because you went in a circle at both ends.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hello! It can be a little confusing if this stitch is new to you. The important thing is to keep at it and don't give up. A helpful tip - watch the video a few times, then try doing the stitch with the video. Stop or pause the video when you need to. After a while, it will click and you will recognize when the stitch calls for you to add the beads and circle around. Be patient with yourself, you will get it!

[@aymeeb]

It's been awhile since this video was made and I was looking for that Aluminum Silver Miyuki bead. Is this a discontinued color?

[@Potomacbeadco]

You can check the Miyuki seed beads 8/0 - Crystal Labrador here: www.potomacbeads.com/miyuki-seed-beads-labrador-full-8-0#attr=69977,69978,69979,69980

[@zainabelsaidi5397]

I just today thinking after watching videos about spiral chenille that how about making flat chenille 🙂 So thank you for making that

[@didine6199]

I think we can get the same thing with using Pondo stitch, no ?

[@pamelaforman8710]

And I assume one could do this with 6/0s and 8/0s instead of 8s and 11s?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Yes definitely, you can modify sizes easily.

[@KP-nx8lo]

Am I the only one who wants desperately to move that 11/0 outta the pile of 8/0?

[@Potomacbeadco]

😂 Not at all!

[@vickyschwierking2006]

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you for watching!

[@shasha6845]

The fun thing about this is, make it longer and you'll get a choker.

Great idea!

[@lexxilove9894]

I was thinking the same thing! It's going to look SO GOOD!!!!

[@secondaccount1688]

I’ve tried this before, but I just don’t really see the point. It looks exactly the same as flat netting, which is so much simpler.
