Hi all! 💜 I hope you enjoy playing around with this versatile beading technique! This one will prob take a little more practice if you are new, but it's worth it! 😅 I have included "Chapters" (time-stamps) to mark each section of the video, so hopefully that helps when backing it up to repeat steps. 😀 Here is the link to the corresponding blog post: www.orchidandopal.com/blog/flat-chenille-beading-stitch-101-tutorial-for-beginners. Thanks for watching!! 💜See you soon! 😀
Just wanted you to know. You ruined me. I can't stand any one else on RU-vid. You do an awesome job. Teaching, explaining, and the cadence of your speech is so enjoyable 🌼
As usual, you've made it very clear through demonstration and explanation, how to do this stitch. Green/beige colorway is my fave, but that little swatch of purple/teal comes in a close second. Thanks, Gina, for sharing with us.
When you published this video I got inspired. I have tried this stitch before, but I was excited about the use of picasso beads! I thought that it would be very pretty with 6/0 and 8/0 beads as I have some of those in picasso finish. I tried it yesterday, and it was just as pretty as I imagined. And of course faster to make :) I love it. Thank you!
Thank you! You’ve made this so much easier. I could’nt get passed row 3 as that first turn just wasn’t right. I made stuff up but it didnt look the same. 2 watches of this while beading along and I finally got it. You are so right the further along, you understand what needs to come next. Thanks again!!
My 2021 New Year's Resolution was to learn bead weaving. I did a tubular chenille stitch fairly early on, but I'm glad I didn't try flat chenille until now. It's a bit tricky, isn't it! Thanks for being such a great bead weaving teacher. With your guidance, I successfully completed a narrower version of the checkerboard bracelet with the picasso 8/0 beads. I'm very pleased with how pretty it came out.
I've been struggling with this one because it's so pretty - then I found PONDO STITCH on Eureka Beads. It looks very similar, and it's SO much easier. I appreciate a good tutorial for this one though. Thank you Gina.
Thanks so much for showing us this beautiful stitch! You are an excellent teacher, taking lots of time, making sure your work stays in view, and explaining everything so carefully. I will be giving this a try soon! One question, does this always require two different sizes of beads, or could it be done with just one?
I'm really stumped! The end of the rows is what's getting me! I wish you had gone over the end of the rows one more time. Because there should be 2 8/0s and then an 11/0 at the end. But somehow it is not working for me and I've tried it over and over about 6 or 7 times and it's not right!
Has I was preparing for the Flat Chenille class I was going to teach I made up several swatches to show my students. Have you tried using Super Duos or other Two Hole beads? It took some finagling but it is possible. Flat Chenille is one of most flexible stitches when it comes to the type of bead combinations you can come up with.
@@ORCHIDandOPAL Just to clarify, I re-read my question and it might be confusing lol. In your tutorial you used two sizes of beads, could I do that but instead of having two different size beads, I use the same size, like maybe just using 2 different colors or will that affect how the finished piece will look?
