Twisted Tubular Herringbone Stitch Tutorial - Twisted Tubular Herringbone Bracelet

Twisted tubular herringbone is a lot easier than you think! This twisted tubular herringbone stitch tutorial video shows you how to "do the twist" and then how to end the tube cleanly. Then I finish it off with an end cone and clasp! Also, visit me at www.beadedjewel...

Excellent instructional video, Diva. Very clear, easy to see each step and follow! Thank you!

I'm hooked, so to speak. I will never be able to do what you do because of many different issues I have, but the artist in me so loves to see talented hands at work. I love the way you detailed the perfect ending to this cute spiral stitch. Thanks again for the videos.

Hi alindastar, I truly appreciate your comment! And I really like your profile photo -- I have a red and white kitty, too! :D

You don’t know how many times i kept rewinding this but i finally got it right!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

+Ebony Atheist I am glad that you did get it right! It's not the easiest, I know. Happy Beading! :)

There is one caution that I always do. I do not use my thread coming out of the stitch. I finish of that thread before adding the end cap. I then use a different thread weave it in and attach my cone and clasp. I do this with all my projects so that if anything happens to the attached clasp my work is still stable if I want to change or renew it.

Hi Pooby43, that is a good idea -- thanks for sharing! :)

thank you Miss G for making sense of this stitch! I have just started the tubular and tubular swirl madness! Out of the I love herringbone one the best. Your preferences? I am using 11/0 czech SB. They are stacking like legos!!! Glory!!

2 inches in 2 hours but it's working!!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

It does sometimes take awhile with this stitch, but it is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. :)

Hi, I've found that if I go up 2 down 1 the threads are hardly seen. Try it! 😊

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Claire, thanks for the tip and for sharing -- I'll have to try it. :)

[@Dangerousdebbie1]

What size are the beads you used for this bracelet? I love this but the herringbone intimidates me but I think I'll give it a try. Thank you for sharing.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Deborah Matthews Thanks for your question. :) I am using size 8 seed beads in this video. Don't let herringbone intimidate you; it's probably easier than you think. Have a "beadiful" day! :D

[@callitags]

Deborah Matthews I hope you've tried this one by now. I have to agree with BJD that it's probably easier than it looks. It's one of my favorite stitches.

Actually, I have a question. I just learned to do tubular twisted herringbone with only 3 bead columns. (3 bead ladder stitched in a circle, and herringbone starts from there)... I am wondering if there is an odd count herringbone stitch, (if it is the same stitch as I used for my 3 bead...). I used this stitch with 11/0, and the rope comes out to be about 1/4 in diameter (the right diameter for a pendant I want to hang on it). If there is an odd count herringbone stitch, with more than 3 bead base... like 5, or 7... would it have any advantages / benefits over an Even Count Twisted Tubular Herringbone? Like using odd count peyote for centering purposes. Thank you

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

+VeeFromSpicy Hi! I am not sure what you mean by an odd count of herringbone -- do you mean three pairs of beads, or three beads total? (I assume you mean three pairs, but wanted to be sure.) But no, I can't see any particular advantage, when it comes to tubular herringbone, whether it be an odd number of columns versus an even number. :)

[@VeeFromSpicy]

+Beaded Jewelry Diva Hello, and thank you for your quick response. Would love to clarify... I actually used 3 beads (not 3 pairs of beads), and now I already tried it with 5 beads (2 pairs = 4 beads + 1 bead; or 2 sets of columns + 1/2 of column) the reason for using just 3, is the diameter of the rope. I had a pendant with a narrow "bail", needed a "thinner" rope. I didn't see any advantages, accept for the diameter, wanted another opinion. Thank you!

so difficult for me what i do please tell me

[@alley404]

can you put the length of thread u are using

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Allyson, the length of thread you use while stitching is whatever you feel comfortable with. I usually use about 6 feet at a time (except on camera) when using Fireline. If I am using something like One-G or K-O, I may only use about 4 feet at a time because the threads can fray too much otherwise. How much thread you need will depend on the size of your bracelet -- 6 feet would probably work for a 6.5 inch bracelet. Hope this helps!

[@keziahkamau1160]

begginning is best to teach. u did off camera how can one understand what you did?

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi! I didn't want to make it a super-long video, and the Bead Embroidery 101 video had the basics of how to do it.
