I have the same problem. Every bracelet made with fireline or wildfire broke when used with crystals.Which one is your favorite, if you don't mind me asking?

@@ely42609They have a new thread on Potomac Bead Company called Dragon Thread. It's relatively new, but from what I've learned so far, it appears to be very good. I got size 8, and it is strong. Also, Nanofil size 10 appears to be good, but I've heard they're about to discontinue that. But it is still available on Fire Mountain Gems.

So glad you enjoyed Jodi, and thank you for watching!

Thanks for sharing your favorites, Karen! It's amazing how much thread you can go through with just one project!

Thanks for watching Sharon and for all of your kind words!

Are you looking to make beaded tassels or just thread tassels? We like One-G for beaded tassels and for making your own thread tassels, we've used griffin silk with great success: artbeads.com/design-studio/lunasa-crescent-necklace-with-pink-tassels/ as well as S-Lon: artbeads.com/design-studio/rosewood-brick-stitch-and-tassels-earrings/

Hello, I have a consecrated Rudraksha bead from India that I have been wearing as a necklace with a cotton thread. It is taken off before every shower and the put back on but the thread is. I need something strong that can withstand being tied in a bow and untied daily made of natural materials. I was told: You can change the Rudraksha thread with silk/cotton thread from any local shop and start wearing it. Rudraksha (also called as Rudraksh) are dried seeds of a tree, which grows in select locations of South East Asia, botanically known as Elaeocarpus Ganitrus. It is also called “Tears of Shiva” and there are many legends connected to Lord Shiva that describe its origin. Thank you in advance for your attention.

It should read but the thread is frayed.

Wildfire is thermally bonded to avoid fraying!

Thank you! Elonga is a good stretch cord for rings and bracelets. Here is 0.3mm size, but it does come in other sizes: artbeads.com/jewelry-supplies/beadalon-elonga-multi-strand-stretch-cord-0-3mm/ We love The Ricks Beading Loom and you can watch our video for how to use that loom here: artbeads.com/video-tutorials/ricks-beading-loom-basics/

@@ArtbeadsVideos tyvm! 🙂

@@ArtbeadsVideos That loom seems very frustrating even to watch someone else working on. There are no divets for each thread, trying to keep that plastic ruler from sliding while working, too many moving parts that don't seem to serve the loomer appropriately. Thanks but I will have to keep shopping around.

You should be able to p shop online. Just Google beading thread near you.
