I Love the way you taught this class. It's very rare to find an instructor to do a stich over an over again the way you've demonstrated here ❤ please continue this !!!!

I am so pleased that I found your video. A few years ago I bought a garnet bracelet which I thought was the most gorgeous thing I had seen. It was the same design as this, had 2 safety clasps but fell off my wrist the very first time I wore it, gone forever, never found it, no one handed it in (not surprising, brand new, garnet and gold, absolutely sparklingly beautiful..and it was Christmas week). Thrilled that I can now follow your video and remake my own to nearly exact pattern. over the moon and thank you so so very much xx

Allie, I love the underside of this bracelet! A single row of crystals down the center.... beautiful!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you so much :)

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Really pretty. The 3rd length of RAW really adds substance to the design. With it, there's space for the light to shine through the crystals on the top. Without the 3rd length, the more common way of making a RAW bracelet, it sits against the skin too closely leaving very little space for light to enhance the crystals. Anxious to give this design a try. Hope I have enough of the correct size of crystals. TFS!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thanks so much! Exactly! It really adds to the design.

[@amichelemaher8201]

very impressive, will definitely try this. I use mostly gemstones and will need to modify accordingly. Wonderful challenge.

Gemstones would look great with this! If you use 3-4 beads per side of the Raw stitch you can use 4mm beads.

[@amichelemaher8201]

@@alliebuchman10 I am assuming the 11/0 seed beads you are using are about 2.1 or 2.2 mm in size. Am I misunderstanding your reply.? If I were to use 3-4 4mm beads per side, I have literally doubled the size of the bracelet. Could be fantastic twice the size.

[@kimevans2378]

Your tutorials are phenomenal and so easy to follow

[@j.whiteoak6408]

Dear Ally, I love this design - especially that clasp!! I've been making various versions of my own design of this type of bracelet for some years now - I absolutely love wide RAW bracelets - up to 7 rows wide! But instead of changing thread I always start with more than twice the length of thread I think I'll need (because RAW is thread-thirsty), but I leave half of it as a tail at the very start - for both the RAW and for the embellishments - so that whenever I run out I can finish off with a few solid knots, then start working with the 'tail' thread, picking up back at the start of the piece. (Adding thread isn't difficult, but it takes a little longer, and blocks the beads with thread, often making it difficult to pull the needle thread) - especially as I always stitch my embellishment beads on twice which makes for a very solid bracelet and gives a substantial feel to the piece. I hope I've explained my method thoroughly enough! Happy Beading, and thank you for sharing all your wonderful designs!

It could be done but will need changes to the size of seed beads used on one side to make it curve. That also may mean some changes to the design as a whole.

[@jodil5332]

Allie - I love this RAW on the back of the RAW but I’m finding it hard to follow along because it’s all silver. Do you have a video with other colored beads of how to make the RAW boxes on the back? If not would please do a video just for that step with colored beads? I would appreciate it so much. Thanks again for taking the time to make these tutorials. I wouldn’t be able to bead without them. Also one question - we have 2 rows of RAW boxes on front. But it looks like there is only one box for every 2 on the back or am I missing something? Thanks

[@ogbaenumajennifer3674]

Hi! I love your videos. Was wondering if I could use 4mm bicones instead of 2mm bicones for this design?

[@Potomacbeadco]

It would change the number of seed beads but try it and see how it looks, then tweak it. That's how the design process works, even for us!

[@christineg7642]

Can you use 3mm crystals

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hi Christine, you probably can, but you will need to adjust your seed beads to fit them. Work a one inch test piece and see how it looks.

[@humera121]

If we do 4 rows of right angle weave, how would we finish the base, how would we be adding at the base?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hello! You should end up with 2 right angle weave rows in the back/base of the bracelet if you do 4 rows.

[@humera121]

@@Potomacbeadco yeah I figured that out. Thanks

[@sharonschebesta4160]

Oh I love this. But I have 3 mm bicones do you think I can use them instead of the 2 mm?

[@Potomacbeadco]

you will have to adjust the rest of your bead sizing as well most likely, but you can make it work!

[@lindabaker2023]

Could fire polish be used in place of the crystal bicones?

[@alexismarie7143]

I would think soo!! You might just have to adapt the pattern a little bit depending on what size firepolish beads your using 😊

[@nathanbuchman2046]

Yes don't see problem with that. MOST of the time you can get away with using anything that is the same size. In that case, gemstone 2mm rounds or pearls could work too.

[@alliebuchman10]

With 4mm beads just make sure to expand your RAW box to have 3 beads along the sides

[@Janethedream]

@@alliebuchman10 would I have to expand the RAW box to use 3mm bicones?

Would be better to show it with contrasting colours, could not see with all that silver and tok much thread showing at the bottom of the bracelet

[@peggysueway3889]

When adding the second row, how do you determine at what point to add the "four beads" to continue on. Is it right AFTER going through the bottom two THEN we add the next four beads OR do we continue on through the two side beads then the two top beads and then add the next four coming around? Seems like you can do it either or both ways. I tried this pattern using Miyuki 11-643A and they seem to be more cylindrical then the ones you used. They did not lay well or hold a squared shape.

[@peggysueway3889]

Changed beads and it made a huge difference

[@peggysueway3889]

I also discovered this. There is a little hole where all the squares join. If you can see thread crossing through them, you're doing it wrong. I found that I hadn't gone around the square far enough when that happened.
