Stitch - Double Seam Peyote With a Twist - Not Crochet 

Thank you. I do hope that many beaders find this video useful. :-)

I am happy to hear that you found my video useful. I try my best to make things simple to understand and I am very happy to see the positive response from beaders like you. Thank you for watching :-)

I am very happy that this video helped you! It really is much simpler than it sounds, but the result is quite beautiful.

Great to hear you liked the video. The join can be a bit tricky, but not that difficult once you do it at least one time.

You are quite welcome! :-)

I hope my video helps you eliminate the struggle part. :-)

:-) happy to hear you found my video useful!

Thank you!

Very happy to hear you found my video useful.

Thank you. I haven't had much time to record any videos lately, but will get to working on new videos soon.

It is really quite easy once you understand it.

Thank you!

It appears to be more complicated than what it actually is. Have fun.

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to type your lovely message.

Thank you. He usually lays by my feet when I record, but this time he decided to see what has happening on my table. :-)

Muchas gracias Edda! :-)

you all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

@Shiloh Khalid instablaster =)

@Mohammad Esteban I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

Thank you for your lovely message! :-)

Oleg usually lays by my feet or next to me on my bench when I am recording, but this time he decided to investigate what I was doing.

Thanks. They are and they love to make noise when I am recording.

I'm sure you will.

Thank you. I am happy to hear you liked my video.

You are very welcomed!!

He was very curious to see what I was doing. :-)

ACL Patterns and More would you please make a pattern design with double seam...I can't understand.

What do you mean? What are you having trouble understanding?

You're welcome! Happy to help! :-)

Merci d'avoir regardé ma vidéo et je suis assez content d'entendre que vous l'avez aimé. Used google translate sorry if it is not grammatically correct. :-)

Thank you! Best wishes to you as well. :-)

Thank you for watching! :-)

Con mucho gusto!!! :-)

Saludos desde El Salvador. Tu video es clarisimo y me ayudo mucho ♡

Thank you!

Awesome! Thank you for watching. Share this video with your beading friends. :-)

You're welcome! :-)

I can't give you a number of how many videos about Peyote With a Twist I will be recording as I do them on my spare time. I can say that I will record a few more.

I am sure you will get it. It looks a bit intimidating at first, but once you understand it you will notice that it is not as complicated as it looked.

I can't make any promises, but I will try.

Yes, Oleg is a Shih Tzu. I have two, a boy (Oleg) and a girl (Mechas).

Awesome, I have 2 boys. Chow Yun my oldest at almost 15 yrs is black with a white stripe down his chest. And Shaolin my white, grey & black is 10 yrs old now. They are a special kind of love.

Yes, both joining and the turn are performed different in the single seam and double seam versions of Peyote With A Twist.

I am sorry you are having trouble with the turn, but do love your perseverance. :-)

I can't make any promises, but I will see what I can do.

Th double seam version of Peyote With a Twist allows us to create a rope with an even amount of beads in the circumference. The single seam version is used when working with an odd number of beads in the circumference. I hope this answers your question. :-)

Sure, you can change the beads if you'd like. The only thing you should keep in mind is that the diameter of the rope will be affected by the change in size. Larger beads will produce larger diameters and vice versa. :-)

Yes, Mechas and Oleg are two beautiful Shih Tzus I share my life with. They are always around when I record, but sometimes start playing around and become noisy when I am recording. :-)

One can create beautiful necklaces and bracelets using this technique. If you look at my facebook page facebook.com/thebeadboy1 (as well as other beadweaving designers) you will see all of the projects we have completed using this technique. Like with any beadweaving technique, the possibilities are endless, of course, you have to use your imagination once you have learned the basic technique. :-)

The odd count thing was a mistake I made. In reality, Peyote With a Twist was designed so that we never have to work with odd count Peyote and therefore, we don't have to worry about that funky turn odd-count peyote uses. When we work with a rope with an odd number of beads as its circumference we use the single seam method. We begin working with your circumference, let's say 9 beads, and you add one more bead for a total of 10 beads (like in my video). When you join and create the tube two of those columns become one leaving you with a circumference of 9 beads. When the circumference of the rope we are creating is an even number of beads then we begin with the circumference (14 beads in the video) and we add two more beads (for a total of 16 beads). When we join we lose two of those beads leaving us with a circumference of 14 beads. So you see, there is no need for an odd count version. Sorry, for the confusion. :-)

To bead a necklace that is 50 centimeters long you would just bead until you reach the length you would like.

gracias, lo voy hacer

osea que primero hago el largo deseado y luego voy cerrando???

Astrid, la mejor manera de que entienda el proceso es viendo el paso a paso. yo hice un video en Espanol que puede accesar en mi canal de youtube ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gtci6YP7yoU.html. dejeme saber si es de ayuda en solucionar sus inquietudes.

The beads I used in this video where size 8/0 and the needle is a size 10 sharp (long) Tulip. I only used these beads because they show better in the video, but I would normally use smaller beads for a Peyote with a Twist project. Especially if the project is a bracelet. Smaller beads tend to produce ropes that have more flexibility and larger beads produce ropes that are stiffer. I hope this information helps you.

Would it be possible for you to see it on a larger screen? That may help.

I can't make any promises, but I will try. Though I most likely will create a video on how to read my patterns as there is no standard on how to write a pattern for Peyote With a Twist yet.

Technically yes, but I did explain that when working with the double seam technique you work with the circumference plus two beads. In this case, the circumference is 14 beads plus the two that we need to add bringing it to a total of eighteen beads, but with peyote, we pick up the first two rows when we begin our project so we actually have nine beads in each row, not eighteen or sixteen. :-) Once we join the two sets of two turquoise beads (four columns) come together to become one set of two beads (two columns) meaning we lose two beads so after the join we are working with the circumference only (16 beads).

Oh, OK. I think I get it now. I just re-watched the most important segments to me. So glad I did! I think I get why I couldn't bring my corners together. I loaded 16 beads at first, 2 accents on each end, and then wove 17 rows. I think I should have woven only 15 rows, right?

When working with the double seam you want to complete the number of rows that matches your circumference plus one row. In this video, for example, my circumference is 16 beads so I have to complete 16 rows plu one more row, 17 in total in order to join. Don't forget that on your last row you don't add the last bead.

Got it, thanks.

Yes, you are correct I began both the single and double seam with an even number of beads, but if you notice the true number of beads you are working with changes once you have joined the flat peyote into a tube. Take the single seam, for instance, I began working with ten beads (even number), but once join two of those columns join and become one. Thus, we are left working with nine beads (odd number) for the remainder of the project. The double seam sample, I began working with 16 beads (even number) but the join in this sample uses four columns (two at each end of the flat peyote) that become two columns which left me working with a circumference of fourteen beads (even number) for the rest of the project. To sum up, single seam Peyote With a Twist is used when working with a circumference that is an odd number of beads. The double seam technique is used with the circumference of the rope you are working with is an even number of beads. Hope this clarifies the difference between the two techniques for you. :-)

christel blevin the video is clear and very informative. We should be more appreciative of him doing this to help us understand.

Although I must admit that there are instances when I do more out of frame you are the only person who is unable to see and understand what is happening. Everyone else is able to follow along just fine.
