    Quick Project Steps

    Begin with threading a needle with DragonThread and add a stop bead. String four 8mm beads (or your chosen size) with an 8/0 seed bead after each, forming a box shape. Add three 2mm pearls between the larger beads, connecting them with the right-angle weave technique. Continue the pattern, alternating between the main beads and connecting them with pearls and 8/0 seed beads. Once the desired length is reached, remove the stop bead and attach your choice of clasp. Finish by securing the thread ends with a burner.

    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.
