Quick Project Steps

Introduction to Netting and Peyote Stitch: Understand the concept that netting stitch may actually be an extension of the peyote stitch, a revelation that aims to simplify the approach to netting designs. Starting with Peyote Stitch: Begin with a tubular peyote stitch using 8/0 size beads in lava red and 15/0 beads in crystal. The project starts with three rows of peyote stitch, consisting of six beads. Adding the First Row of Peyote: Continue adding beads for your peyote stitch. Remember, peyote stitch involves skipping a bead from the row below and adding a new bead. Expanding into Netting: Transition from peyote to netting by adding rows that include a mix of two 15/0 beads, one 8/0 bead, and then two more 15/0 beads. This creates the foundational structure of netting. Continuing the Pattern: Keep adding to your piece by alternating between adding rows of peyote stitch and expanding them into netting patterns. This method showcases how netting can be seen as an increased form of peyote stitch. Observing the Transformation: As you progress, observe how your work begins to take on a netted appearance, proving the idea that netting is essentially an expansion of the peyote stitch.

I would have liked more information about the subscription process and how to cancel the membership if desired. Also wanted specific details about what the kit includes. New to Potomac Beads and your website.

The website is easily navigable and I like the option to omit out-of-stock items from turning up in searches. My orders are always processed promptly and well packaged for shipping. On the rare occasions that I receive an incorrect item I have always been fully satisfied by its resolution. Potomac has long been one of my favorite vendors and they often have things I can't get anywhere else. One thing I wish they would do is put the manufacturer item code (like TR-08-999 or DP-401FR) on the label, since sometimes name of a finish will get changed; it would make it easier to find the same color again since the color code stays the same.

I spent half an hour trying to login, my password didn’t work and yet the software wouldn’t let me change my password. I couldn’t even set up a new account. Frustrating 10!
