Thank You!!! 40 years ago I was taught how to do this stitch. Life and other things happened but, I kept my beads all these years and wanted to start again. I just could not get the right start for this stitch. When I saw how this was done. I wanted to cry😂. This was exactly how I was taught. Thank you again so much 😂
This is the best tutorial that I've watched. Very simple and easy to understand! I feel like i can actually attempt it without frustration of understanding what I'm aiming for
Absolutely the best tutorial out there. I've watched dozens and dozens and I learned more from you than from all of the others combined. Thank you so much!
I wish I would have found your video a few days ago!! Would have saved me a lot of frustration. I am new to seed beading and have been watching a lot of other peyote stitch videos. Yours is the best for teaching. Thank you!! You are awesome. Love your turquoise ring. My favorite 😉👍
This is a wonderful tutorial. I personally find a single thread works best for me, but your instructions were great. I learned this stitch from an Elder of the Blackfoot people, Maggie Black Kettle, many years ago. It is heartening to see so many people now using it .. well done and keep up the good work!!
I thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial. I've been beading for almost 50 years. You give great instructions and explain the logic and steps very well. Thank you for your creative and free style of beading. A'ho
I love this video. I finished beading on a flute and posted the picture. Everyone wanted to know how I learned, so I shared the video on a Facebook Native American Flute making page. Thank you so much!
I've sewn leather but am new to beading. It seems the most important thing to master is not bleeding on your piece from needle pricks. HA! Beautiful work. You have inspired me to begin.
I love your video. I've been doing the Peyote stitch for some years now and never knew about the all of what you taught today. Thank you so much!! I also love your finger guard, I've made me one years ago but now have started one more like what you have. Thanks again!!
Beautiful work!! I did my 1st beaded necklace when I was a teenager. I recently used that necklace on a battle axe I made from a hickory stick and an ancient stone Celt. Turned out good for my 1st piece. Thanks for tips, I will try that on my next one!
Nice quality of video! Can hear everything clearly, concise. Great tips how to keep it simple AND well explained. TY also for being specific about the beads, needle and thread used. Super.
Thank you, It brings back fresh air in a stale world. I remember this stitch as the first I ever learned. Please post more videos your ability to teach is so good that you make it look easy. I am recommending this video to my daughter. Hoka Hey!
WOW!! Thank you so much for showing us this how too. Very beautiful work and you are a good teacher. I cant wait to try this again, this time successfully ;)
Osiyo! Wado udohiyu utsati!! You are a great teacher! You do great work and it’s so kind of you to share with those of us who wish to learn. I am grateful for you and to you!! Donadagohv i Stiyu!
Wow I been beading for years and I didn't know a lot apparently because in the first 2.5 minutes of your video, I learned so much! Thank you! Liked and subscribed!
I enjoyed watching your video very much! Your way of teaching and explaining each technique is the best I have seen thus far. Beautiful bead work, well worth watching your creativity. I liked that you explained the need for the small space in the beginning row for tension. This is something I don't remember seeing pointed out on some of the videos I have watched by others, but is very important to know. :)
I enjoyed your tutorial very much. The extra information you provided is priceless like to use a needle that is one size smaller than your bead. I never knew that. I had always heard peyote stitch was very difficult. So I learned it first. I find it easy and fun. It's my favorite stitch. I like the tone of your voice. I was watching one lady bead. I really enjoyed watching her and learned a lot but her tone of voice was off putting to me. I know not why. It took me several weeks to learn to accept her voice. Thank you for your videos.
❤thank you so much! I enjoy watching your video and learnt again how to do a peyote stitching. Great tutorial 👌 👍 ❤ I look forward to watching and learning more from your video. You have explained it well.
Thank you so much for making these videos! I enjoyed all I have seen, you work is very beautiful and you are very knowledgeble and friendly, felt like my friend was teaching me....so refreshing to learn that way....please keep making videos!
I am in awe, I never realized how many different styles and patterns. So many of the indians bead work is amazing. Georgeous, you should all be very proud of your work. It is truely works of art. Thank you for sharing.
I love this video... I can't seem to be able to figure this out but I am going to try it tomorrow.. Thank you so much for posting. Pls post more beading videos. How did you learn?
Sure you can bead around a square item! I always use a 15/0 or 13/0 bead for that, and it looks crazy awesome. I think all peyote looks best in a smaller bead, but that's just me I guess and probably not recommended for a beginner . Good video for those starting out.
hello thank you for this video I was stuck watching other videos I only have one question tho when you reverse the pattern after you do the row where you add the one blue then yellow than blue then red the next row what do you do I have ripped it out so many times mine isnt lining up
Would be great if you had a channel just for teaching videos such as this. I'd love to follow your teaching of beading without digging through the other videos that have other subject that have nothing to do with this craft
Thank you for taking the time for making and sharing this video , if I may ask what can I do if I would like to add some beaded string dangles on the bottom side of the wrap .. as if I made the wrap flat and used extra length strings of beads to tie the wrap together on the bottom if that makes sense?. Any ideas would be welcome ?.
You are a great and talented artist also a great teacher. I know you say what size beads you are using but is that mm or just seed bead size? I have watched many different videos of people showing how to do this stich but you are the best. Thank you
Very nice, I cannot do a zig zag pattern for the life of me lol. I listened more to what you were saying then watching. The zooming in and out was hurting my eyes a little.
I enjoyed watching your video. I have been trying to work off a pattern and it comes out backward. Can you do a video showing how to make it come out correct. Please
The terms gourd stitch & peyote stitch are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are actually 2 different stitches. Also, the finished design looks sloppy because the vertical columns are slanted, which happens when the tension is not right (pulling too tightly, using inconsistent beads, or as in this case using too few beads in the starting row which causes the beads to move out of place). For beginners who don't know any better, this kind of careless technique instills bad habits that can ruin a beautiful pattern & are hard to get rid of later on.
It looks so easy when you do it. I am a miserable failure at peyote. I tried in the early 90s and couldn't do it. A local lady had a bead shop, and she made the most incredible medicine bags. I never tried again until your video. I used No. 11 back then, and No. 8 currently. Apparently, I'm still a miserable failure. I undid rows 3 and/or 2 on my rattle handle 4 times, and finally cut the whole thing off in disgust. I never can get the 3rd row to come out right! Understand that I am an experienced stitcher! I can hand-sew, embroider, crochet, do counted cross-stich, and bead on a loom. Obviously, all these are flat, not tubular. I'm taking a different tactic with the rattle, giving up on peyote for this project, but .... Would it help me to learn flat peyote? would that translate??
Did you make the leather thimble as well? That is so clever-I keep sticking myself and my traditional metal thimble is too clumsy and big on my finger. Do I just sew it to my size? Keep making these wonderful videos!
Yes you can sew it to fit your finger I’ve also seen people just do a piece of leather and then put a bandaid or medical tape around it to keep it in place
Thank you🙏I really want to be able to peyote Stitch my own fans work besides putting it together I want the best of the best and to learn from the best of the best😇
Beautiful job with bead weaving. Well done tutorial too. Supposing I'd like to make a bracelet using the Peyote stitch, but I don't have anything close to my wrist size to bead around. How do I determine the number of beads to put on my first row so that it either comes out long enough to wrap around or to determine the width I'd like it to be? New to this, so would really appreciate your help.
I notice you go to the left so does that mean as a left handed person i have to go the left or do I go the the right. I like your video.i am trying to teach myself.
