I honestly could not say. You would need to contact the manufacturer or look on amazon for parts. I hope you find what you need. Sorry I could not be of more help.
Danke für das Video und die interessanten Details bei der Herstellung. Wo bekomme ich so einen Hammer mit auswechselbaren Köpfen, wie Sie ihn verwenden? Danke
I would reach out to the manufacturer for that. Mine stays very well. There might be a slight defect. I am sorry I can't be of more help, but I just did a review of the one I bought for myself. I am not affiliated with the maker of this board.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you sharing. Just starting out with bead embroidering, so very new to this. You mentioned your backing is interface, what us the difference between using interface and stiff stuff? Hopefully you'll tell me either can be used, but interface costs less. Ive found stiff stuff is pretty pricy.
Hello, I honestly have never spent out for Lacie's stiff stuff. It is expensive. Interfacing is available in many fabric stores and departments for a much better price. Both items are used for the same exact purposes. Interfacing is available in many different levels of stiffness as well. I hope this helps you out. Personally, I am going to stick with interfacing.
@AlluringBeader So sorry I don't mean to be a bother but I have another question. Seems there are many types of interfacing and i didn't know which one to get. Which kind do you use? Thanks.
I suggest you hit the fabric department and look for Pellon non fusible. There are varying weights to choose from, so you can decide by project which is most suitable. I used a heavier weight in the tutorial because it was a component, but you may want a medium weight for bracelets etc. Hope this helps.
You are very welcome. I have found, over the years, that a lot of designing with beads, involve trial and error. The trick is to understand the thread properties you are working with, to avoid problems with fraying and knots. Have a great day.
I know this is an older video, but this video is the only other video I can find that involves this specific type of bead embroidery that involves beading around a crystal. I'm desperate, what do I search for? Whenever I search on amazon glass/crystal rhinestone it gives me these either circular tiny rhinestones for nails OR it gives me the most beautiful rhinestones BUT they're the sew on ones that have a metal piece attached to the back of them or there's actual holes in the rhinestone. Whenever I finally find some that are flat back glue on they are acrylic and are very ugly they don't have the flash like the ones that are considered sew on. I was getting so frustrated I was typing out crystal glue on rhinestone emerald flat back, and of course Amazon was just getting more and more confused! I just wanted to find some place to buy them in bulk, if that was possible. Is this strictly a craft store only item (I can't find them in Michaels or Joanns either and those are my only "local" stores) something that hasn't become more mainstream like the sew on rhinestones? Or can you buy the sew on ones with the metal casing on the back and before you use them in whatever project you can just remove the back piece? Oh crap, I'm so sorry this ended up being so long!! lol I'm just absolutely in love with this design of rhinestone with the beading coming up around it! It's so beautiful!
Hello, This is a great question. Try searching for Crystal Chatons, Crystal Rivolis and Crystal Fancy Stones. Swarovski and Preciosa brands are some of the most popular. But now that Swarovski has limited their beading offerings, there are a few new players in the game. Also, I would check some of the websites geared towards beaders, such as: Potomac Beads Jill Wiseman Eureka Crystal Beads Art Beads Fire Mountain Gems There are many other beading sites as well. I hope this helps you with your journey. Dee
A left handed beader!!! Cool! I am too. I struggle so much with patterns at first because I normally have to reverse it. I'll try this and let you know.
I have been hunting for this! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial and I am glad you didn't edit out the mistakes because eventually all of us will make that mistake so we can see how it's fixed.
You are so very welcome. I am very happy that you found this lesson useful. I agree that learning to fix mistakes is a very important part of the process.
Hello Denise I sent you the file on your email address associated with the order. I am very sorry you had trouble with the file. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. Dee
I have been looking for ideas on easy beaded projects without having to return to my local bead store (which I wouldn't mind). Now I can make several Xmas presents using what I have at home, while I have fun mixing different sizes, colors, shapes, and textures. I can't wait to begin! Thank you for this very useful tutorial!
Thank you so much for this video. You called it a "Master Class". I call it an "Excellent Master Class". The design is beautiful and your idea of making a neckace with three triangles will elevate the project a few notches up.
The instructions are clear and concise. However, quite often the project is off camera and cannot be seen while she is working on it and sometimes it is blurry.
Thank you for your time in making this tutorial. I have been having a difficult time with pointed crystals and natural stones. Thank you for your helpful tips and tricks. It gave me a better understanding of how to manage around the edges!! Would love to see more bead embroidery tutorials in the future!! I did notice that when the camera was out of focus, you stopped and showed the step before moving on! 😊 Thank you again!🙌
I am SO INCREDIBLY THANKFUL for this video!! I also found the russian video to make a bracelet, but didn't like the hole in the leave....and then I found you and your lovely tutorial who did all the hard work for me! THANKS AGAIN!!🎉❤🌺
