Lovely Video, explained clearly. It would be nice to make a video on designing patterns. I find that I color in my dots, however, it always turns out terribly. I now math is involved and I think I get that part, my issues is drawing it on the graph paper. I'm not sure how to make it cylinder when graphing on a flat piece of paper.
I realize that this video was done a few years ago, not sure you are still answering questions. I have a question on your pattern. You've drawn it out starting on the bottom left corner, yet when you bead, your beading clockwise,??? I know when drawing my pattern for 2 drop peyote, I started on the right corner drawing my pattern and beading clockwise. Just want to make sure I do this correctly. Thank you
Thank you for watching. For this stitch, I wanted it to look the same as on the drawing. If your notice the peak of the beads should look the same as on the paper. The graph is counter clock wise, but I start on the right for drawing because this helps me to see how the design will look. It is a starting point. I suppose you could try on the left side too. This is how I've figured out. Thanks once again
How do you know where to begin your starting point and how do u label where your bridge is gonna be when your making your own pattern.. I love your videos btw
It is very important to keep count when starting the beads. The beads are grouped in 3 so you should be adding 18 beads in the round. on the 18 bead will be the last bead. the next section is the bridge and then you start the count again for the next row. I did an earlier video of how to begin this stitch. have a look and see if the helps. thank you for watching.
Broken Arrow Beads. I appreciate your help. I am able to design my own lighter cases now. You’ve taught me wonderfully. I was going to ask you what kind of beads you use and where do you purchase them? Again I greatly appreciate you for sharing your gift with me. :)
Alexi Hansen Hi. I’m so happy for you. Thank you for watching my video. I’m happy to share my work and the stuff I have learned. To answer your question about where I get my beads. I order Czech seed beads. Make sure it is Czech these are good quality and uniform. You may get the odd one that is funny shaped but that is normal. I also just starting buying Delica beads. These are more cylindrical and uniform. I also sell them too. I have limited supplies check on Facebook and look for Broken Arrow Beads. There are also groups on Facebook that have really good links to bead stores in Canada and the US. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching. :)
I would like to try. I have never done this, I think it would involve some removing and adding beads to each part. I do have a piece that I would like to try. Thank you for watching.
Hi. Thank you for your question. I wrap the thread around to give me a good secure attachment when starting the lighter. This helps me to keep the Beads from slipping around when I am beginning my first rows. When I am finished, I'll go back and rethread that bit of string and weave it back through my work. I make sure that I have it long enough to do this.
Hi Carrie I first of all wrap the beads around a regular size bic lighter. That should be 54. Then you remove 18. Now there should be 36 left. 36 is the starting row.
@lindacirclebeargreen8337 look for 3 drop gourd stitch tutorial . That is the beginning of the video you just watched. There is also another video that I have that show the beginning rows of this stitch. Thank you for watching
Hi I have a question please and thank you. I made the beaded lighter cover right along with you in the video looks nice but I don't know where I went wrong after I finished making it I removed the lighter and now I can't get the lighter back in it. Any suggestions on what I might have done. Thank you
bev dowdy Hi there. You have done nothing wrong. When it is beaded around the lighter it is nice and tight. But when it is removed it will take some negotiation to put it back on. I was demonstrating this to someone that I sold the lighter and case too, I was able eventually put it back on, but it was tough.
@@brokenarrowbeads3354 hi thank you I told my little brother he might have to have his caregiver put some baby powder on the end of the lighter and pretend she's putting some spandex leggings on it lol. I'm working on another one and it's driving me crazy I've tried since Monday and I keep taking it apart I think its my beads. I'm trying the new toho beads I will let you know how it comes out. Thank you for helping me
I enjoy your video. One suggestion would be to have music playing in the background, so we don't think the sound has gone out. OH, by the way, the 'bridge' bead you refer to is commonly called the 'step up' bead because you are stepping up to the next row of the pattern.
Thank you. I was never sure of what that “step up” was called. But when I figured it out my patterns went more smoothly. As for the music in the background I would like to have some but was/am worried about copyright stuff. Normally when I’m beading I do have something on in the background. Again thank you. 😀
I understand the copyright concern with the music. I wonder if, because you are not selling anything, that you could use music???? I always have my TV on or music when beading.
@@lacenyoface4204 I was giving constructive info to the designer. Obviously in 2 years, she didn't have issue with what I said. Why do you feel the need to be nasty?
That’s beautiful work. But I’m was wondering about the thread when you start. It looks lose. Do you hide that after you finish your work? Love your videos. Keep posting them!
I’ll have to figure out how to link the graft paper. I made it on MS word and then printed out. When I get it figured I’ll add the link. Have fun beading.
Hi Raven Wolf, no luck yet. I haven’t had the opportunity to give it a try. Probably won’t be for another couple of weeks. I’m working in Northern Canada and am away from my computer stuff. Won’t be able to do it till I get back in a couple of weeks. Thank you for asking.
I have the graph paper. I created it and that is what I follow when I use this stitch. If you would like more information please check out my Facebook page. Broken Arrow Beads. Thank you.
Hi there. To figure the first count, you need to string some beads, and wrap it around the lighter, make sure the number is divisible by 3. This can be done with any size beads. The smaller the beads, the larger the number.
@@brokenarrowbeads3354 that was crazy. I did get back on track. I've had a bunch of mess ups but its ok its how I learn. Lol you're a great teacher. Thank you.

I watched the first video and I'm soo glad that you decided to make another follow up video. 😁
Thank you for sharing. Love the pattern.
Thank you for sharing your time and skill I appreciate it very much 😍
Step up is the common term, but I like "bridging" to describe the jump from one row to the next! I like your videos very much.
Some love the shade
So helpful! Thank you! Looking forward to starting a design tomorrow on an eagle feather!

Thank u for showing your mistake, its very helpful.
Well if u were far along all’s ya would have had to do with that extra bead is take a needle nose to it
I am wondering if you know the “red” bead placement in the bead tool program. I use the #1 placement but that isn’t right. Thank you in advance

@@brokenarrowbeads3354 can you make a video using delica
Hello! Have you ever done this stitch on something that gets larger or smaller like a bottle? If so, how do you do that! Thanks!
I would like to try. I have never done this, I think it would involve some removing and adding beads to each part. I do have a piece that I would like to try. Thank you for watching.
Where do you find the pattern paper for this type of beadwork
Hi. I made the graph paper on word. :). Took me some time to get the paper together.
Why do u have to wrapp the thread around n how do u take it off? Thats confusing.

@@brokenarrowbeads3354 that makes alot of sense. Thank U.
Any time are u gonna do a lighter case with a bead bottom not buckskin. I like the bead finish look.
Lissa Slack Hi lissa, I’ve got a piece saved up just for that. Thank you for watching.
Can u estimate when the video will be out. Making lighter right now. Plz response asap.
Hi Lisa. I’ll be doing one for the bottom of the lighter this week. I have been travelling for the last little while. Thank you for watching.
Oh my this is so awesome. Thx so much for the video. Ur a wonderful beader
How to start this pattern?
Its similar to brick stitch . But how do you start ? Could you make a video of how to start
Hi. I did make a video of how to do gourd stitch from the beginning. This one was how to figure a pattern.
Hi! What's your starting count for the stitch? (The very first line or beginning line)
Hi Carrie I first of all wrap the beads around a regular size bic lighter. That should be 54. Then you remove 18. Now there should be 36 left. 36 is the starting row.
@@brokenarrowbeads3354 thanks! And I just found your other video on beginning. Great advice!
How do you start from the beginning? Or did I miss it?

I looked it up for you about playing music in the background. This link may help. www.safemusiclist.com/can-use-copyrighted-music-youtube/
So do your own.

Hi. The thread tightens up as you go around.
At 30:28 your volume cut off.
can you link the graph paper with the numbering in here? ^_^ thank you for the tutorial I am stitching along with you as i learn ^_^

@@brokenarrowbeads3354 any luck?

You can find the graph paper on Pinterest and then just look how she has done her numbers
I have the graph paper. I created it and that is what I follow when I use this stitch. If you would like more information please check out my Facebook page. Broken Arrow Beads. Thank you.
I'm trying to figure out the first count, using 11/0 seed beads. Would anyone know what the start row is?!

I try to avoid this but..😏
No se podrá traducir el video al español
lost sound at 7 of red
Why show the graph paper? Why not just show from start to finish? This is not for beginners
Could not get over the fact it sounded like you’re saying ‘patterin’
🤦🏽♀️
Also - doesn’t help getting started 😣
What happened to the sound? I'm lost now 😢
bev dowdy the sound is gone. I’m not sure what happened.
