Yes, I know thread burners work for extending too, however, the thread burner I bought, has never worked well. I bought a new one, different brand, I am going to try it, when I receive it. I hope it actually works, the batteries die, in the one I bought, after one use.

LOL, yes, it’s important to communicate 🤪💕

+debking74 you are welcome!

+TERESITZ LEWIS Yes, rest, I need it! Ha! Nice to hear from you 🌼

+Ansje Loef yes, I have metal allergies too, I understand. I can generally wear rings, as they are gold or silver...but necklaces and earrings...even in gold or silver, I cannot wear long before my skin reacts to it.

+Neire Silva Gracias🌸

+Mia Hamilton-smith Thanks!🌺

+wubbie2002 Yes, there are tons of books...Amazon is a great source for that. I Recommend getting a book on basic stitches, learn them, then get some books with design patterns you think are pretty. There are loads of resources on the net and You tube is a great resource too. I will do a video for newbies, been intending to do that, but in the meantime get some seed beads. Toho or Miyuki rounds are great to start with. Get some neutral colors of 15/0, 11/0 and 8/0.... then get bicones in 4and 6mm and round beads in 3, 4, and 6mm. That is good, basic start.

+Margie Vargaz I would have to figure it out.

Español en no mi idioma, como el inglés no es tuyo. Me gustaría hablar varios idiomas bueno, simplemente no. Lo siento.

+Debra Conner Toho seed beads are also Japanese seed beads, like Miyuki, there are also very uniform, but they are also a bit larger than Miyuki and have a wider hole. They have beautiful finishes and make very nice looking pieces. I prefer them because of the larger size and hole. They are easier to handle and to see. My eyes are not the best. They are also more affordable than Miyuki. It's a preference thing. Many people believe that you should only use certain brands of beads. I do not believe that. I do like quality beads. But I am not snobby about it, if I think a bead is pretty, I use it. It's easy to fall into the trap of not using certain beads because someone on You Tube says they are "crappy" I say use what you have, use what you like, use what you can afford, use them all and mix them together...there is no real reason not to. I explore the creative side of beading, the art of creating something from whatever you have. I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment from that and if it come from using Walmart beads, so be it. I love to create. It all has value, and making pieces with affordable beads is also profitable, they sell because they are more affordable to buy. So whether it is Czech, Toho , Miyuki, Chinese crystal, Swarovski Crystal...I use it all. Good question by the way.💖😀

+I would have to sit down and figure it out then refill, can't make any promises, but if I get a chance I will doit😜Margie Vargaz

ok thank you

+Erenia Salazar usted debe mantenerlo en su lugar. trate de colocar la segunda capa de 15/0 primero, luego ponga en el rivoli y cose alrededor para apretar

+Margie Vargaz they are shaped differently, a Rivoli is basically a flat owned bicone shape, even on both sides. a chat on is has a deeper cone shape on the back side.

+A Rivoli is a flattened bicone, is what I meant to say.

Have you tried looking for an online bead store? You can find many 15/0's on various online bead stores. My personal faves to buy from are fusionbeads.com and potomacbeads.com

Psychosis The Artist Thanks. That's what I'll have to do.

+Tammy McIntyre I used to live in a mall town in Nebraska, no bead stores anywhere! I ordered everything online. I ordered from eBay, Amazon, Fire mountain...so on. That's the only options I had, believe me, I didn't do without, I had, and still have, a huge bead hoard!

I don’t know, I would have to sit down and figure it out.

+Rajul Kanji I just might do that, no promises though. I get other ideas don't just have to do them.😜❤️👍

I will look and see what it is, I am not familiar with it.

If you Google search with words > beaded S-Dragon, you will find them. I want to make one so badly. One girl has a free tutorial, but I can't follow it, it is written and drawn. But there are no videos on how to make it. You're so talented, you can probably just look at the images and know how it is made.

Lorraine Brooks I did look, they are cute! I will have to sit down and try to figure one out.

Oh I can hardly wait! I'll be on pins and needles waiting, lol.

+Kristine Rioux maybe just add an extra seed bead to each segment of seed beads in the design.

I used Toho round beads, they are larger than other brands, you may need to add one more seed bead to each section of seed beads. 12/os are smaller than 11/0s, I used 11/0s. Adjust the amount of seed beads to allow for the size change.

Gina's Gem Creations Thank you! That may be the problem. :)

Megan Flowers yes, I think it is.👍

Gina, it is no different. I pulled and reinforced and it just doesn't stay in. I can't say I didn't try. :(. It's a lovely ring but I'm sorry I can't get the rivoli to secure itself.

+shawnee glenn that is because Chatons are shaped differently than Rivolis. The design was made with a Rivoli. Sometimes you can change beads in a design, but generally Rivolis and Chatons are not interchangeable.

Oh nooo! Try adding one more seed bead on each side

Gina's Gem Creations You’re so sweet to respond back! Thank you so much! I got these rivolis from a bead show that came into town, and I have a feeling they are not Swarovski 12mm, so that’s probably why I was struggling. I’ve been beading for a while and never usually have a bezel problem, so it wasn’t your tutorial, it was the knockoff rivoli 😕 They told me it was Swarovski so I believed them and paid for it and left. But the other day, I compared it to my 14mm real Swarovski rivoli, and the shine isn’t the same, so the 12mm knockoff sizing is probably not on par either. The knockoff is still pretty, I’ll still find a use for it, but just wanted to let you know that it wasn’t your tutorial. Sorry if I originally came off that way. I had to put my detective hat on and investigate the problem. I might even take the suggestion to add a bead like you said and see if that worked 🥰 Thank you so much, Gina, I hope you have a great, happy Valentine’s Day! 💗
