    In this PotomacBeads tutorial you will learn how to use a free form stitch to create the fantastic Fireside Bracelet. Arrange the flames among the logs of your fireplace using Potomac crystal rondelles and Quadbows.
    1. Using a size 12 needle, put a stop bead onto some Wildfire thread. Go through a center hole of a Quadbow. Pick up a Rountrio through a side hole and another Quadbow so that it faces in towards the first. Add a Potomac crystal rondelle and then repeat the first pattern.

    Too much scrolling to find your product or color even with the filters. The filters don’t allow you to see all of the color choices for an item at one glance for example. You spend too much time finding what you want. It gets frustrating!

    I had a fun & easy shopping experience. I found everything that I want for now!

    It's obnoxious that the site tries to sell customers other things during the checkout process. The purchase button is brighter and more noticeable than the "No thanks" button, which probably tricks many naive customers and makes them not want to shop here again.
