[@norietakawewehi185]

I have always found it easier to learn a new stitch by watching hands on instructions rather than following written instruction. Potomac beads always have clear and understandable tutorials. This is my favorite " go to" to learn new stitches and ideas.thank you Potomac.

[@Potomacbeadco]

+Norieta Kawewehi Thanks for watching!

[@teressa7666]

I absolutely LOVE that you showed how to finish off the end of the rope! You'd be surprised how many patterns/tutorials leave out this crucial step. Thanks.

[@glossydemarco358]

At last I think I'm getting the idea - a very good tutorial on twisted herringbone, the best I've seen so far!

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

I like that you use BIG beads, CONTRASTING colours and that your LIGHTING is good. Subscribed.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

Yes, I have been making this one since I saw the video yesterday. There are a number of channels with this sort of tutorial but I like your channel because of the features mentioned above. It is such a challenge to follow a tutorial when you can't clearly make out the difference between bead colour or when the hands and project keep going out of the frame. So, thank you for paying attention to the viewer's needs. @@Potomacbeadco

[@Allareous]

You have no idea how happy I am that you made this tutorial exist! As well as the level of detail you go through to make the project less scary to accomplish! I needed a tutorial on how to make a necklace version of this, and I didn't even know the proper name. This helps me GREATLY!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hello dear, a necklace version is a very great idea!

[@jeanetteking4187]

Yours is my favourite tuition for this style you make it so clear to follow. After a few mishaps I've made such lovely colour combinations now I'm more practised

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thanks for watching.

[@sherricannata-rawlings655]

so very pretty and you always make things look so easy to do. But for me, and I am only talking about myself ladies,lol, I try so very hard and for the life of me, I do the steps over and over and even though the step might be repetitive, I just can't seem to grasp the steps. I promise myself not to give up but to step back from my work and to start again latter. Thank you for your patients in putting this together. I am glad that this is not a VCR, the rewind button would have been broke a long time ago

[@daizya9103]

I finally understand tubular herringbone....thank you sooo much!

[@aishagambo8219]

I don't know how to make twisted bead before but now I now how to make it because of the videos. Nice videos

[@taccora]

I love the colors of this bracelet!

[@DamarisJohnsonnakomiah]

Wow! Thank you for not fast forwarding the process or skipping the important steps on how to get the bracelet to twist. Thats the most important part of the tutorial. So far this is the best tutorial on Twisted Tubular Herringbone Stitch. Thank you for going through the steps with detail and precision.

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Really great tutorial. Your demo and explanation make it so much easier to follow than other KZbinrs I've tried to learn from - for many techniques and projects. TFS! Really like how you used a large bead to finish the rope. I also like your idea to use a spacer bead. I have bunches of metal rondelles on hand and color coordinating clasps.

[@mariongallasch6300]

Best video I have ever seen! Very clear and simple instruction! I never have done it before and I was not able to understand from a reading pattern, but this video ist great. Thanks so much for this lovely pattern.

[@Dangerousdebbie1]

I think I finally understand tubular herringbone, I watched another tutorial and I was so confused so I never tried to do it. The way you explained it I think I got it, thank you.

[@Potomacbeadco]

No problem Deborah!

[@sherylmclaughlin6599]

Thank you for this video, it helped me understand better than reading the instructions 😀

[@mycozysanctuary]

Thanks Heather. Awesome instructions.

[@magretnanyonga4814]

Thank you for the tutorial..im trying to make it look the same as yours.

[@sandieedmondson7037]

Thank you for sharing

[@sunset1ism]

Honey, when you are sick, you must rest, and get better. It, the beading,will be there when you get back. I am sorry to hear you to constantly need to clear your throat and if I could pay for a manicure for you I would. You are so skilled that none of it matters and I appreciate what you are doing, just look after yourself too.

[@plants4life7]

Well, that was rude.

[@lindacovell7709]

Rude was an understatement! Carol L you are a snob.

[@SueDNim]

On the contrary, she could have been rude but chose not to be. People are so politically correct these days that they can't even tell the truth. That's not a good thing. This is meant to be a professional presentation, representing as it does an actual company. That means that even though it's free it is still a product, and the viewers are the consumers. My first impression of Potomac Bead Company will partly be formed by watching this. If there are visual or aural distractions that get in the way of the meat of the tutorial (and they very much do!) then constructive feedback is needed. I would not have published this with my name on it. I would have done it over with the necessary cosmetic corrections.

[@sunset1ism]

Thank you, I was feeling bad about that, and my intentions were good.

[@sandygomez9806]

wow so cute I love it

[@VARedGem]

Great video... I did have to start the project a few times... but eventually got it completed. Its just very flimsy at first and hard to handle, but once it got longer I was able to have fun creating it... I would appreciate a video on adding thread so I don't have to have a real long and sometimes cumbersome thread length. tks again!

[@Potomacbeadco]

VARedGem We have a video that shows how to add thread to projects, so that you can start with smaller segments and simply add on as needed.

[@LindaTCornwall]

You'll get a tighter more defined twist if you go down two up one. Doing a down one up two gives less of a twist if anyone is interested. Linda

[@piotrfiszer8979]

Can you make a cristmas braslet with a twist ples

[@claygirl6133]

Will try that on my next bracelet. My first one came out with a nice twist with one down and up two without attempting to twist. Thanks!

[@narmada7494]

Thank You!

[@Potomacbeadco]

You are welcome Narmada.

[@emeliaokofoababio4226]

The work is so beautiful keep it's up

[@fayzaabdelmoety6312]

اشغال جميلة وسهلة التنفيذ شكرا

[@EllaLivingston827]

Love this tutorial! However, I am using 6/0 beads and you need more than double the amount of beading thread. I just did this for the second time using 8' and I still ran out and had to start over! This video is really great thanks!

[@Potomacbeadco]

You can always add thread on... search for our video on that.

[@EllaLivingston827]

Thank you!!!!!

[@arlensmithe44]

Do you know how to make a braided seedbead bracelet and if so, is there a video to show me.Thanks

[@angelxx393]

Thanks for the video,Please make a thicker tabular bead ,like times 3 of the size you made,thanks

[@heurtebiseclaude4171]

tres joli

[@rodicastroe5304]

super

[@mekikdunyas]

thanks

[@juliebrown1510]

I have a question for this bracelet could I use 11.0 beads as well?? I have tons of them.

[@evelyne58000]

Thank you

[@betzaidatatacajigas7874]

Hi love this bracelet..Could I use 11/0??

[@Potomacbeadco]

Yes you can, it would be the same technique, just thinner with a smaller bead.

[@joannerauenzahn8126]

I was thinking the same thing and going to try that

[@ilonaweber695]

Whhere can I found the amount of beads you use in your projects?

[@sandieedmondson7037]

What type of thread are you using? Also do you wax your thread before starting your bead work?

[@Potomacbeadco]

We almost always use Wildfire thread, which does not need to be waxed... see here: www.thebeadco.com/CategoryProductList.jsp?cat=Wire+and+Stringing+Materials:Beadalon+WildFire

[@Potomacbeadco]

No, .006 or .008 Wildfire thread will work for nearly every application

[@maggiequilts]

I can't get this to go into a spiral! What am I doing wrong? I'm using 8-0 seed beads and keeping a tight tension? Help!

[@serenitycraft8557]

I am interested in learning how to bead, I just wanted to say that your video's have been so easy to understand and give me the confidence to get started. Do you recommend any type of kits that would include the needles, beads and threads to get a basic start? Also, do you recommend any books for simple starter patterns? Thank you so much for making this look fun and easy.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Janet Fenstermacher thanks! We do sell a good beginner beadweaving kit, which has the thread, needles, some starter beads, and a few other things in it: www.potomacbeads.com/Beginner-Beadweaving-Kit-p/2242.htm After that, you can pick and choose which projects you want to tackle, and buy the beads that go with those projects. The most frequently used beads in beadweaving are Miyuki 8/0, 11/0, 15/0 seed beads, SuperDuo beads, crystals, Miyuki 11/0 delicas. After that, there are of course many many different styles of beads that you can supplement your designs/collection with in the future. We don't really do much with books, and because we teach classes, our classes/videos tend to be our preferred teaching method, but everyone has their own unique learning style.

[@jeffo1110]

Warning Janet - I just looked at the kit mentioned above - it has RounDuos and Cup Buttons in it - if you buy it you will be hooked for life - LOL. Seriously though - I love the cup buttons as clasps, they are so easy to get on and off, especially if you have no one around to help. Jodi =-)

[@serenitycraft8557]

Jeff, I bought it. I am completely hooked. :)

[@marycheney8313]

Is it my imagination or can you go down 3, up 1, down 3, up one, down 3, up 2 for the step up? I had put my rope down for a month or so and when I came back to it I started using that count (I'd forgotten how to do). It seems like the only difference is that I got a marginally tighter twist? Is this an actual stitch or did I make something up?

[@KarenHatchett]

Did you tell somewhere how many grams of beads for each color?

[@susang1952]

Heather, could you pride a link directly to the clasp/toggle closure you used for this project? Great tutorial... I have made two already and want to order the toggle you used here. Thanks Susan

[@Potomacbeadco]

We almost always sell out of everything used in videos, and believe that toggle is currently out of stock. Here is another similar one: www.thebeadco.com/SPD/pewter--s--toggle---double-dot---4863271851750686463.jsp And we have dozens more styles available here: www.thebeadco.com/CategoryProductList.jsp?cat=Findings+and+Metal+Beads%3APewter:Pewter+Toggles

[@parkwayhandmadecraftstation129]

This is a hard stitch. I tried this stitch and the beads keep falling off the cord. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[@tessieheadley3924]

Hi , are you using wire beading or just an ordinary thread ?

[@Potomacbeadco]

I used Wildfire beading thread Since herringbone is a stitch, you can't use beading wire because it's not flexible enough to thread in and around seed beads.

[@nilebabe]

I'm a bit rusty on my beading skills. I am trying to figure out the pattern here. 1st row is just getting the pairs in a row. Second row is up 1 teal, up 1 brown, and up 1 pink. Third row is up 2 teals, up 1 brown, and up 1 pink. Fourth row is up 2 teals, up 2 browns, and up 2 pinks. Fifth row is up 3 teals, up 2 browns, and up 2 pinks. Sixth row is up 3 teals, up 2 browns, and up 2 pinks. Am I to assume that the seventh row will be 'up 3 teals, up 2 golds, and up 2 pinks'? Or would someone please be kind enough to point me in the right direction?

[@clairebacchi360]

When you showed both spiral bracelets one had more of a twist. What was the difference between the two bracelets? 😾🤔

[@idunknowlah]

I'm using beads of different sizes (11/0 and 15/0 i think?) and after a few rows, i'm guessing it wouldn't work... Am I right?

[@melissasloan9570]

How would you add a cone to the ends of this instead of a pearl??

[@LindaTCornwall]

+Melissa Sloan Create a loop one end and stitch through it multiple times from side to side of the end beads, doesn't have to be pretty as it will be hidden. Then slip the wire through the cone hole create another loop and attach your clasp. You can either do just a plain loop or a wrapped loop for security choice is yours. Or even place a crystal on after the cap and then do a wrapped loop with your claps. All the best Linda

[@Gama2snoopyandmunchi]

Hi. Can you do this with 4 colors?

[@LindaTCornwall]

+Barbara Wells Yep you can do as many colours as your sets allow. :D Have a different colour in each set, or just do doubles as above in video and just have a slightly thicker rope by doing four sets of two. Linda

[@Gama2snoopyandmunchi]

THANK YOU

[@LindaTCornwall]

Barbara Wells You're welcome Barbara x

[@LindaTCornwall]

Barbara Wells PS I also highly recommend doing two down one up also. As you will get a tighter neater twist. The one down two up method is less tight. So there are NO step ups, when it comes to step up just go straight to the top bead. Don't worry at first if you think you'll see thread, trust me once the twist starts it will suck up into the work. Then when you get to the other end do four or five rows of regular herringbone where you do the step up. this will give you a nice neat end to match your four or five rows you started you work with. xxx If you're unsure of what I mean, I think Jill Wiseman has a video of this method somewhere. I'm sure I saw one a while back pop up in my feed. x

[@savyasari7653]

[@mirandawheeler940]

What type of thread works best for this?

[@Potomacbeadco]

We use Beadalon Wildfire for nearly everything: www.potomacbeads.com/Wildfire-Beading-Thread-s/2505.htm

[@LindaTCornwall]

+Miranda Wheeler Don't buy Beadalon Wildfire, or their fireline, it's much cheaper to buy Your Wildfire and Fireline from a fishing outlet, EXACTLY the same stuff and a WHOLE LOT CHEAPER. Esp if you buy it on eBay. :D I buy 300yrd reels of Fireline for around £20.00 on eBay compared to £9.00 for 50 yards of the Beadalon Fireline. xx

[@rosananunes9580]

😍😍🤩🤩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@aLoveSnare]

Can you make this into a necklace?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Yes you can, just keep going and make it longer.

[@tammyneuman7299]

Potomac Bead Company I am a beginner. I estimate about 10 ft. to make a necklace 17" long. That is a lot of thread to pull through each bead. Am I wrong?

[@Potomacbeadco]

We always start with 3-4 feet of thread, and then simply add on more as needed. We have a video on our channel that shows how to add thread to seed bead projects.

[@tinmanandlittlebitforever5965]

how long would I need to make a necklace

[@Potomacbeadco]

+tinmanandlittlebit forever It depends how long you want it, but 18-20 inches is a pretty standard necklace length for women.

[@tinmanandlittlebitforever5965]

Thank you

[@rosaceballos6427]

hola me gustaria saber si el tamaño de las mostacillas influye para que valla quedando los cuadritos por que intento hacerla pero no me sale no me queda bien gracias a quien pueda ayudarme dios los bendiga

[@melissalaformelon]

I really appreciate this demo but I am fairly new to this whole "beading scene". Just when I feel like I am "getting it", I start to run out of thread. None of these tutorials show how to add thread. Can someone point me in the right direction?!?!?

[@Potomacbeadco]

We have a video on that, and here it is: How to Add Thread

[@zkundak]

Thanks for the very clear instructions. Already made my own bracelet. However, I suggest that next time she has a manicure before making a video.

[@daizya9103]

A silly question...? : Can I use different sizes of beads? (I'm a begginer)

[@Potomacbeadco]

Yes, as with most stitches, you can use virtually anything, especially if it is consistently the same size bead (11/0 or 6/0 instead of 8/0 for example).

[@tammyneuman7299]

Potomac Bead Company I want to use two size 8/0 and one size 10/0. Will this work?

[@Potomacbeadco]

I don't think that is going to work, and recommend you use all the same size bead.for each row.

[@daizya9103]

ty :)

[@Dangerousdebbie1]

Well I'm still confused and I do it to myself. I have watched this tutorial so many times you would think that it would be embedded in my brain. Lol

[@wendyflores8551]

me gusta

[@EllaLivingston827]

Now I am using 8/0 beads and 4 feet is no where near enough! It needs more than 12 feet

[@Potomacbeadco]

You can always add on thread. You usually don't want to start with too much, or it takes a really long time to pull through. Here is a link to how to add thread. How to Add Thread

Why are people so ready to complain , talk about , an give criticism to people that are helping you . They never see there faults . They only have time to complain or talk about someone else . No common manners. Manicures who cares . What if she had dirt under her nails but worked in the garden . String , thread do dry out your hands .
