  • I've been trying to learn how to do some bead work and all your videos are very helpful. But I need a little more advice. When I get my columns of beads strung up next to each other they are never straight and completely next to each other. There's always gaps between some of the beads. My guess is because the beads are different sizes. Some are smaller and rounded other are bigger and more rectangular. Is there any where I can buy more uniform sized beads? Please help me

  • @kufan302 In my videos i use japanese seed beads size 11s. They are more uniform. If you use say delicas which are more rectangular, next to non-delicas you will not have uniform beadwork. So in order to have a nice uniform piece use the same brand and size of beads. I do use different beads at times but i use them sparingly becasue too many will deform the edges of the loomwork. Tip, when you use them dont pull the thread tight or it really will bunch up the edges.  I hope this helps.
