    Quick Project Steps

    Begin by stringing a sequence of SuperDuo (or Twin Bead), 11/0 seed bead, repeating this pattern six times on your thread.
    Form a circle by passing the needle back through all the beads, creating a base for the tubular knit pattern.
    Start building the pattern by adding a SuperDuo and 11/0 seed bead, passing through the existing beads in a specific order to create the tubular effect.
    Continue adding beads in the sequence, paying attention to the order to maintain the pattern. Once the desired length is reached, prepare to add the clasp by integrating cup buttons and creating a toggle using 11/0 seed beads.
    Finish the bracelet by securing the clasp and trimming any excess thread.

    I love everything about Potomac beads, except for the dragon fire white thread. I bought the time before it was a 250 spool and I bought 5 pound because the 6 pound I had was just humongous you've done some changing with your threads since the last time I bought some. I fell and broke my right arm and my rotator cuff and wasn't able to be for quite a while. I just pulled out the 5 pound white thread. I bought the time before and tried it. I don't even think I could bezel with it. The 6 pound does beautiful. I took one arm span of thread off the spool and I won't be using it. It's a shame because I truly love yours thread.
