My dear Jill, you are the angel of Beading haven !! I would have given up on doing peyote if I hadn't come across this. Thanks to you, I don't have to fight with those pesky beginning rows. Thank you from the bottom of my beady little heart!❤️❤️❤️

I have a few dozen playlists and a lot of videos in each, but this one deserves a place of honor in my "best of the best" playlist!

Wonderful video! Four-in-one - how to make and use a starter strip, ladder stitch and peyote stitch. It is indeed magic, especially since I can use the beads I've had for decades and never actually wanted to use lol. Thanks so much!

I'm a little thick when it comes to comprehending new methods - But your video/teaching is the easiest, most pleasant that I have seen! Thanks for being a great teacher!

Thank you very much, for such easy to follow instruction videos. I have waited for nearly fifty years to find a way to learn beading. With Internet and you tube, learning (across the world ) is now a accessible. I am loving it.

Jill I just want to say Thank You So Much I have learned so much from you in the last year. You have helped me develop a gift that I know came from God and you an angle here on earth, so Thank You with all my heart, may God Bless you and your family.

Oh My Gourd, Jill! You are my life (time) saver and a national treasure. Thank you so much for teaching us this beading technique and for all the wonderful lessons you have graced us with. You are the Best and Thank You Again!!! Kisses, BAJ

That is a wonderfully practical way to start peyote and can be used over and over again. Your mother appears to be the most patient of beaders, judging by what I've seen of her work.

This is a great recycle idea. I can use the "not quite right colors" making my starter strip. I have a few that I bought online that just were not the right shade I needed for my project. Thanks!

WOW! What a genius idea! This starting peyote has been the bane of my beading life! Thank you a million times Jill!

Thank you SO MUCH Jill! This is really a great tip for those of us who needs those beads evenly and securely fixed when starting peyote ! This video makes my day happier ! :-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I’ve made two and they are fantastic. I can’t believe how much easier peyote is now, how much better the results look and feel. You are a wizard!

Jill Wiseman, you and your mom are geniuses!!! This is fabulous! I always struggle starting peyote on long straps so I will definitely be making my own starter strip. Thank you so much for sharing this!

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!I was not going to try this certain stitch because I was thinking that it was to difficult, but you put my mind at ease!!!! Tell your Mom what a Beautiful piece she made.😊

I am LOVING this video!! Thank you so much! I have wanted to try making beaded tapestry, but it was so frustrating trying to start such long rows. Bless you my dear, and give Mama hugs, her tapestry is fabulous!! 💖

I have to thank you once again. You always share with us the new idea of beading skill other then the design of the project , how nice your tutorial is !

Gosh, get your mom on the show too! The greatest guest appearance ever! Please!!!

A million thank you's!!! I had been trying to figure out how to make my own paper ones like you can buy. Now I don't have to. I have to say this is an amazing idea. Just like the other gals on here, you have made my beading life much easier. Jill you are so smart and so generous to share your beading ideas and designs with us. So grateful!!!

Love your work Jill! It’s a pleasure to learn with you. I first saw you when you were on JTV! I really enjoyed your gorgeous creations! Glad to find myself doing bead weaving now, not just stringing. You make it seem so very simple! Thank you for all the great information and I now am hooked on weaving! I hope this finds you very well! God bless!

This is a profoundly useful video. Thank you so much ❤

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I'm new to beading so I'm still all thumbs...this will be very helpful. Thank you, Jill!

So glad that I found this video.It was so well done and so helpful to get peyote started. I have now used it for both even count and odd count peyote. Not sure why I was a little confused on the odd count, but I finally got it and it works like a charm. Thank you Jill for your excellent directions and wonderful video.

Thanks Jill! This will be so helpful. I love the Quick Start Peyote Stitch Cards that I bought from you, but this will be much better for those larger projects.

You are a gift! I’m a beginner and have been struggling with peyote. Thank you for this video.

WOW! That beaded tapestry is amazing!

Oh Jill this is Brilliant!! 😃👍👍 You & your momma are a genius! I just purchased those Quick Start Peyote strips & I'm about to try one out. But I'm guna definitely make me one of these!! Thank you for sharing your Amazing knowledge & talent with the world! You Rock Jill! Sending lots of luv your way 💜😘

Thank you so much Jill. ❤ What a huge difference you have made to my beading. Your tutorials are fantastic and have made it so much easier for me. Frustration at starting is sooo much less now! Brilliant 💐💐

This video is so professional! I struggled with brick stitch in the past, and watching your hands and how you held the thread made me realize I had been holding it in an awkward position. I liked your tip about using an odd number of beads and the reason why. Thanks a million!

Pure genius. Thank you so much for such a brilliant idea and another superb tutorial. You are a star !!!!

what a wonderful way to start peyote. I never get an even look so now I will try this way! Thanks so much Jill, you are the best teacher..

OMG, you have just rocked my world! Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)

Love, love, love this! That piece your mom did, that is amazing!!

Oh my days, this will help so much for my next project that is 190 beads wide. Thank you soooo much.

Thank you Jill. I will be giving this a try. I have learned so much from watching your videos. You have made it so easy. Thank you again

This is such a neat trick. Once again thanks Jill for sharing your tricks and tips.

Genius idea! Thanks for sharing jill. Love June' s Beaded Tapestry too

This is a 3-in-1 video for me!! 1. I now have a great peyote-starter (my most dreaded stitch ever to start), 2. I learned the Brick Stitch, 3. I found a nice use for those not-so-uniform cheap beads! Mine is not so pretty, but I got rid of some of those "bargain" beads and just made sure to only use the same size/shape on the end that matters. Thank you SO much for this video, Jill!!! Being able to do peyote will open a whole new door in bead weaving for me!

Thank you for this! It will make starting much easier and neater too. I love it!

Thank you Jill YOU ROCK! I just bought your book on amazon called Beautiful Beaded Ropes, I can't wait to get it and start beading some ropes.

Amazing Jill, like always. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful New year.

Wow..love love love this! Thanks Jill!!

This was such an awesome video! You explained it so well, as you usually do! Thanks so much!

Where had this video been all my life. Thank you Jill. 😁😁😁

Your video is the first video that I have seen to really explain and demonstrates how to do this, thank you. I did subscribe to your channel.

I just love your videos. You are the BEST teacher. And so talented. Thank you.

As usual you have come up with a geius idea. Thank you so much. It will be very helpful!Have a healthy and happy new year!

This is so helpful as always. Thank you Jill.

Thank you so much for sharing, now I can do this stitch with out mangling it, it always looks like I created Frankenstein lol love your work!

Thank you Jill for such a great tip.

Great idea Jill, thanks for sharing.

Magical indeed! Thanks so much for sharing.

Ingenious! Thank you Jill! I will make a bunch of these and get good use and the satisfaction of finishing a quick project. xoC

I just watched this video and I think this fabulous! Thanks Jill

I love it Jill, it's fantastic!! Happy New Year Jill✨🍾🎉🍸💫🎊

Thank u Jill! I'm always looking for ur videos. U have helped me!

Thank you for this video. I have tried peyote stitch many times and failed. I will try this. It looks like just what I need.❤

Wow, this is my first time of hearing about this method. Very, nice. I will try this. I love the peyote look but not the peyote aggravation. Thanks again!

OOHH MY GOSH!!! I am going to try Peyote again!! This makes so much sense.... Thank you so much!!

Thank you Jill. I have no problems with starting peyote, but from now on peyote will be much quicker.

This is wonderful! It answered questions I didn't even know I had. Thank you!

Absolutely love this idea going to make my starter right now

Wow! Great idea!! Im gonna try it. Looking very pretty BYW!😊💕

Just found this video bc I love Peyote and looming and was looking for new tips. You are genious!!!!!! I am making my peyote guide today!!! Subed!!!!

Thank you for doing this video, it's so much more simple than I anticipated. I love your videos, I've learned so much from them. I'm really enjoying my beading journey so far. Hope you're staying safe and well during this stressful time with CoVid19. Take care & God bless 😊💖

You just gave me the key to make a 13x15 tapestry. I was boggled with trying to figure out how to start the first three rows. Thank you!

Wonderful start. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I bought a bead loom pattern (or so I thought) of a dog to make for my dad (looks like a dog he lost & loved so very much) and it turned out to be a peyote pattern instead of a bead loom pattern. Because of you, I will be able to make this pattern for him. ❤️❤️❤️

Ugly beads as a starter strip what a great idea!!! Thank you for sharing this, and thinking of how many times I had to “torture” my self into making these really wide peyote bracelets!

Brilliant! Thank you for doing the video.

Wow! What a useful tip! Thank you!

Love this idea. I'm going to make the starter as soon as I can

Thanks, Jill! Great tip.

Thanks for a great idea. I will be trying this on my next project.

Thank you so much! I have been attempting the peyote for about 2 weeks now…. I thought what is wrong with me! Why cant i get this! This helps so much. Thank you

cool idea! thanks Jill!

Like always you have great suggestions, thank you

Love this tip! Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this technique.

Inny and outy, I never thought belly button terms would be used in a beading video! lol I love this idea. Nearly all my work is in peyote, either beaded bezels or tapestry so this will be really useful. I have no issue using the traditional method of starting but I think this will be easier, less fiddly to do :)

Wonderful. Thank you Jill 💕👍😁

You are a beading Goddess!

Thank you so much for this helpful trick!

I really have never had any issues with starting peyote, so I almost didn't watch this. I'm glad I did. I don't often do a real long peyote start, but I can see where this would be good for that. So easy to get lost stringing row 1 & 2. Also, I just did a tubular peyote piece was really wide and I know even though the beads are right, I twisted the thread a couple times when adding row 3. Not exactly sure how to adapt this for the piece I'm thinking of, but I'm going to give it a try. I think it could be done. Love your videos!

BEST peyote hack of all time!!!

love your honesty :)

I love the starter strip thank you you made my life easier

Oh my word, this is a great tip! Thanks!

OMG!! Thank you soooo much. Was ready to /toss these beads out the window... Peyote >.

Thank you so much for sharing this video!! 🌸👍🏻😊

You are sooo cool.,Love your instructions. Thanks

Great i love it! thank you Jill

Great- thanks Jill!

Thank you. GREAT tutorial.

Thank's Jill,it's a Fantastic idea & i LOVE this wonderful things sorry i don't know the word in english but it's absolutely Gorgeous!

I would give this two thumbs up if I could!

BRILLIANT! Thank you.

That was really helpful, thank you very much

This is so awesome! Thank you :)

Finally, the answer! I've bought those Quick Start Peyote cards but they are too small for my beads and don't work. I've been fumbling for days giving up on first five rows that look horrible, and keep restarting many times. I can see why you use the brick stitch, to create the ups and downs. Going to do this tonight, there's hope, thank you.

excellent advice. Quite often I would end up making the first two rows in two different colors so that I could determine which was my first/second and which was my third rows. then I'd end up taking them out of my finished design if it didn't blend.
