    Quick Project Steps

    Setup: Cut a length of beading thread and thread your needle. Attach a stop bead.
    Starting the Stitch: Begin with a pattern of an 11/0 seed bead, a two-hole bead, and repeat, forming a circle by passing through the first added bead.
    Building the Tube: Continue adding two-hole beads and 11/0 seed beads, alternating and stepping up at the end of each row to form a tubular shape.
    Adjusting for Pattern: To create a spiral pattern, alternate the order of beads with each row. For a straight pattern, maintain the same order.
    Finishing: To finish, connect the ends to form a bangle or attach clasps as desired, ensuring the pattern is continuous and seamless.
    Additional Tips: Maintain even tension throughout to ensure uniformity in the 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!
