Thank you Jill! This helped me so much. I've only made simple peyote stitch dangly earrings before. I've really wanted to make bracelets. This is a great video that helped me learn how. Everything is presented in a simple, clear and extremely followable way. I'm able to make beautiful beadwork right out of the gate.
I want to thank you. This is the first stitch and video that I could catch on to. I used to weave years ago and I seem to have forgotten everything. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been a beginner bead for years ,I’ve never been able to do weaving until this video. I’ve watched tens of identical tutorials that simply don’t have the amount of information that you’ve included. You’ve changed my life , and that is not an exaggeration. 💐💐💐
Jill you are simply wonderful. As someone who needs visual, tactile and auditory instructions your programs are through and well narrated! I also appreciate the filming as you can easily see the steps involved. Thank you so much!
hi jill i don,t no if get this, i am deaf person just watching i learn how do this ,it very hard for me learn things ,i watch your video four time, and now i no how to do this thank you so much sending hugs
Hi Jill I wanted to thank you for this video. I have severe dyslexia and I watched several videos on how to do this stitch for two rows for my new endless loom. Last night I was almost in tears because I was so confused. Videos from very respectable bead Connoisseurs, I couldn't even grasp the concept !! When I decided not to give up and try one more time, I found your video. I was like, oh ok !! I got it right away and just finished my rows and I'm ready to loom !! You helped me Tremendously. Thank you.
Omg Jill, that's amazing don't even need to do any more tight on the bracelet. Thank you for sharing your videos, I'm glad I'm following you, and thank you for showing us a easy way to keep the stopper from being on the bottom. I love the new way. Thank you and blessed to you ✨😍✨
Thank you so much you are a beading guru ! I finally get square stitch. I love that you take your time and slowly show where your thread paths are going. Keep doing your videos and I'll keep watch and learning. you're a great teacher. Thanks. :-)
Just started getting into beading this year. It is a good way to pass time in 2020. I have been looking for a tutorial for what seems like forever and this one is by far the best and easiest to follow. Thank you for this video😊
I messed up and put dislike i mm new at this but have watched a few videos and never got any stitch until I watch you! You are the best teacher. Your voice ,appearance ,friendly and patience comes across thanks for being you! Teri
Your tutorials are great. I'm a jewelry maker and metalsmith and seed bead stitches mystify me. I'm going to watch this again when I make some earrings step by step. Thank you.
Hi Jill, I'm a first timer to this kind of beading but you made it look so easily that I will give this a try & keep this tutorial to look back on when I start......thanks, your voice is sweet and you speech clearly.
Hi Jill: I loved beading when I was younger having lived in the Great White North (Ontario, Canada). That's where I saw a lot of it and even had a few pieces. I guess it stayed with me because this Christmas left me with wanting to decorate bulbs, and I "winged" my 1st beaded ornament. I'M HOOKED. I love your tutorials, they are clear, concise and you do beautiful work. An inspiration. Subscribed and Liked, Marge
I am very new to beading, but not a complete novice. Loved this video because of your simple straight forward tutorial. Will look for more of your videos definitely.
Day2 on beading.. and my 8 yr old girl and I are addicted to bonding over them. Thanks, for equipping me enough for us to try something new!!! Loved this!!!
Your tutorial is so easy to follow. I made this for my mom and she loves it . Your video is one that I will be watching from now on thank you so much for teaching me to make it ❣️and I love how you say there neighbors that's a great way to call the beads next to each other
Took me a few times to learn NOT to cut my thread prior to starting a new one. I do this for most of my projects now just to keep me in the same place. Great advice Jill! Could have used that a few years ago! Haha Love your tutorials and thank you so much for sharing ❤
Yes - there will definitely be intermediate and advanced videos in the future. I wanted to start off with beginner stuff because I didn't want to scare the beginners away! But keep watching! I have enough material brainstormed for the next year and a half already!
You are awesome! I just finished watching your tutorial, since I recently started Beading. Six years later and all of your lessons are still going strong. I am watching as many tutorials as I can and I find you are the only teacher out there I am able to follow, understand your precise instructions, clear voice and patient lessons. Please do not stop your special gift of teaching this wonderful art form. Thank you so much.
This was one of the first stitches I learned. I prefer it over many. I love craw and other craw variations. Kate McKinnon got me into herringbone and I love it now. But if you have good tension, you don’t need to go back through each row. I do it for the first few and then every 5-10 rows after. The only drawback is you have to really work to embellish the edge, but it always gives you a super straight edge, especially if using Japanese beads.
Thank you so much Jill your a great tutor.I have learned to make so many things .I am a new beader.I have seen other tutorials and they are not good at explaining they're fingers are covering what there showing you to make or it dark and blurry.
At present square stitch is the main bead weaving technique that I use for my bead woven ‘wall art’ panels. I end a thread and start a new thread in pretty much the same way you demonstrated, but for extra security I also apply a few half-hitch knots. These knots are attached to the thread passing through the beads (not the bridge threads) and in this way each knot is gently tugged into the bead.
Thank you for this video :) I've mastered the basic stitch and decreasing but I still need to work on increasing! I find brick stitch so much easier, which is why a lot of the tutorials on my channel are brick stitch! Keep up the good work x
Thx 😊for explaining so clearly and concise. Great video close-up. Good job. A lot of turorials seem to be over explained and too much talking..... Just the facts! Thanks so much for your dedication and sharing of your artistic God given beading talent. 😉 Many Blessings. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I have been wanting to try this for so long candy failed miserable. This is the first video in which the direction to stitch has been broken down for me to understand!!!
Hi Jill. Thank you so much for your wonderful instructional videos! I am primarily a quilter, but I'm currently working on some small wall quilts that I'm incorporating beads into. I came across your website kind of randomly, and am excited to make some small things to use in my quilting projects. Thanks to you I'll be able to do some really fun and interesting stuff!
This reminds me of bead looming but I don't know which would be the easiest. I like the hands on sort of beading where I am adding one or more beads and that is what the square stitch does. I am new to beading so I hope this will help me to find something I can do before I throw up my hands and give up on beading. Thanks this was a very good video.
Dealing with all the weft threads, and usually having to glue my piece to a backing to secure it, made me make the switch from loom work to square stitch. Just my opinion, of course. ;)
hello love the channel love the way you explain, is my fires time making this and I will love to know how to add the clap or make it a bracelet and what thread you use
Can you go on to show how you would then make the bracelet for this like attaching clasp/jump rings etc please please please and thank you. Love your videos, very thorough and I understand your way of teaching. I am a very visual learner so i need to see it being done and then I do it while you're doing it and that's how I learn.
You are amazing . Your instructions are so clearly delivered. Thank you, One question: what is the bead you are using in this video? I love the color and would like to purchase enough to make a bracelet.
OH Jill I love to heard adding thread is not the most fun thing to do in beadweaving but like You mention whe have to do this & i really like the way You did that it's easy & very good tips to add the thread whit no problem so Thank's! Spend time whit You it's a real Pleasure & i will follow you for shure,would you show only beginner's jewel.s or You will make advance videos too??? I love this sqare stitches it's fun to make Design's whit this stitches so Thank You very much to share Jill.
Hi Jill! I love your videos! This is my very first beadweaving project. Your instructions are so helpful, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of closure to use? Someone suggested a three bar slide clasp which I really like but I'm sure sure how to go about connecting it.
Wow mam im beginner just started beading thing i went through so many tutorial but it was hard to understand but did it so simple and easy thanx alot
"Get him sitting the way he should; no naughty beads." 😂😂
You wouldn't believe how many times I've giggled over this.
Finally a tutorial a beginner can actually follow. Thank you for explaining everything clearly!
Yess so true
