I really appreciate these videos. A few times I've had questions like differences in thread, and there are videos on it. Thank you. You guys are quickly becoming my favorite bead store.

Thank you for this. It's really helpful for beading noobs like myself.

You are SOOOOO right about Nymo!!!

Thanks for the link to it. I will get some in a couple weeks when I have more money to spare. Cause sometimes black and white just don't look right.

The one difference between the Fireline and the Wildfire is that the Wildfire is thicker even though it is listed the same size. The. 006 Fireline is about half the size and will go through the seed beads many more times.

Just as you've said I've heard that the nymo thread is inferior when bought on bobbins and spools. But is superior when bought sold on the industrial cone sizes. Also; What's wrong with threading using bonded nylon upholstery thread. I get 450 yards for 3 bucks from Hobby Lobby( Sewology brand). Lots of color choices too. Nothing more stressed than upholstered auto seats. Bonded means that the thread is pre coating requiring no waxing or conditioning. There is a more expensive upholstery thread made of spun polyethylene. I think Wildfire and Fireline are both spun polyethylene too.

Thanks for all the info, Allie--just a small aside, I watched one of your videos when I first started to bead, you were using the green Wildfire, said it worked the best and blended right into most colors of a beading project--you were correct, I have not used any other thread since then.

Thank you for sharing. That was very helpful.

I appreciate the advice regarding regular fishing line. some videos I have seen tell you just to save money and buy from the sporting goods section at Walmart. It doesn't save if you have to repair. Thank you for this Video.

Which is best for bead necklaces? How does this differ from the 49 wire fron beadalon? Does this knot then put a crimp over it?

Can you please tell me what gauge should be used for small crystals when making necklace? Thanks

Thank you. This is a fun craft. Tell me please which strength 10 or 12 do use for seeded bracelets and do you use a No12 needle? Hugs, Mal

Hi I want to know what to use for stringing 8mm turquoise beads that I’m using to make a choker style necklace thank you

I would like to use this methd using sterling silver wire, I've seen a video saying to use hard wire but it still dents the bracelet easy, what would your recommend? I normally use silver for everything, I don't want my pieces to be flemsy or look cheap

Could you describe what tigertail and C-Lon threads are used for, please? This was helpful, thanks!

Did You ever try the OneG Thread because i am an advance seed beads weaving beaders and it's the best Thread i have never worked whit. I just love the OneG thread more expensive but worthed so try you will love this thread and they have pretty nice colors.

hi! i just recently started beading mask lanyards and the string i use keeps undoing at the ends. i’ve tried clasps to keep them from falling apart but it still comes apart. do you think this string is string enough for my project or do you have any other recommendations?

I have used the fireline when making some fringe earrings & I lost strands because it broke? I am wondering if I shouldn’t have used crimping beads? I have only beaded with beadalon 19 or 7 strand thread wires, but they aren’t great for the earrings because I can’t straighten them out. So, I used the fireline in the same manner and it didn’t work out & I can’t figure out what to do! Do I knot it? Use crimp beads? Is there something else I could use but I’m missing? I like having long strands of seed beads that are hanging from some sort of metal pendant or something if that helps you understand what I’m doing. This information is very hard to find! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Oh wow. I just used monofilament fishing line on a few beaded rings I made. I didn't know it dry rots. I'm gonna cut them loose and do them over with my 6 or my 8 lb fireline.

Hi, you now also carry Dragon thread. How does that compare to the Wildfire and Fireline?

What options are there for a necklace that only has a few beads in the front? I don’t want to use leather cord because that’s not the look I’m going for and I don’t Want to use chain. Just a basic necklace with a few beads in the front that I can crimp on. I can’t find any tutorials for this. All I can find is strung necklaces full of beads all the way to the clasp

Thank you for this breakdown !

Fireline is probably the most popular beading thread, but the issue I've run across with Fireline is that with time the beads will cut it. I've sold SEVERAL pieces that have come back to me broken as the pieces are worn and the beads eventually will cut it.

How can I get the beading thread, we don't have here in Nigeria

Have you tried the grey Wildfire?

I like that thread !!

When you say fishing line, do you mean the plastic monofilament or the braided fishing line version of of Fireline? I thought that it's similar, but unconditioned. I have some Berkley fishing line I'm thinking of using.

What would you recommend for making Russian spiral rope? Thanks!

Am I the only one that loves using nymo thread I use it for everything I make. I've never had any issues with it and I've been beading for almost 4 years now.

Hi. I really love your videos. Very easy to follow. But sometimes I need a bit of advice. I am making simple bracelets with small amethyst beads (4 mm beads) and I use tiger tail, silver crimps, silver spacers and silver lobster clasp. Unfortunately the bracelet is very stiff and is not round but more like a teardrop. What wire is the best to use in order to have a nice flow for a small beads bracelet? I like to use crimps and wire guardians because I like the professional look of it but this tiger tail I use is simply too stiff... Is Beadalon better for this type of bracelet? Thank you

Would you recommend Wildfire for waistbeads?

Which beading structure g to use forseed beads

Would you suggest fire line, wild fire or any other thread for waist beads? I would be using it to track weight loss, so I wouldn't want it to strech. And i would be wearing it a lot and dont want it to snap.

I just came upon your video and have encountered an issue. I made a shoulder necklace with beaded (sewn) areas between cascading rows of beads. I had started the project with fireline and it snapped on me when I got to the beaded cascading pieces so I bought some wildfire and used that for the rest of the pieces with each cascading row trippled up, knotted and secured with glue. Wore my necklace and it lasted the whole night without snapping but it's REALLLLLY stretched out. I did use heavier beads. Any tips on how to deal with or prevent stretching on heavier pieces?

Im new to beading - for the Wildfire which size .006 or .008 is best for earring projects

Hello, Good information, but the person who explains speaks very fast, I speak spanish and I try to understand, but I find it a bit complicated. Thank you

I'd like to make a braclet made out of ram beads on a beading loom. Which thread should I use?

I have a black beading thread that I used and some of the color was coming off on my fingers. Its either fireline or wildfire.

Basically from experience. Fire line is better for those clear beads. If you press a strand into your skin it is totally see through, but the more threads in a bead the more white it looks. Wild fire is stronger. But for clear projects you can’t do better than fireline. I have and use both

Hi Allie. I was reading about the Miyuki K.O. nylon thread and it says that it has a conditioner coating and a colorstay coating. It also says its stretch resistant. Would you consider that thread to be a durable in projects like bracelets and necklaces or only for non-tensioned projects? Thank you again for the video and your expertise. Shawn

Why is my Fireline stretching out so much? I'm using 6 pound test for the Shining Garden Bracelet and by the time I get to the end the bracelet is very long, I'm so discouraged as I bought the tutorial for the Shining Garden Bracelet and can't do anything with it. I've tried stretching the Fireline gently before use as suggested elsewhere and that didn't help either. HELP!

Okay what I am wondering is if a needle can be used with the choice of Wildfire thread. And when purchasing Wildfire does it have on the label what "pound" it is? Projects call for 6, 8 & 10 lb.....what the world? This I don't understand but definitely want to use a needle and what size of needle. Thank you.

Just found your videos, I'm new to beading using these products. Is there a chart for needle size to thread size recommendations?

First of all thank you for all the great projects and videos you put up on your channel. But I am confused with the dry rott comment on fireline and the wildfire is cheaper one on your site? A quick google search wildfire doesnt seem that much cheaper than fireline, it seems to be for the 125yd spools and 50yd spools the same price or a bit higher than fireline. Now if you consider that you can buy fireline in 300yd and even 1500yd spools which drive the price down even further per yd when purchasing it. I wish fireline came in the sage green wildfire does. As a person who formerly fished with my father I have used many fishing lines and you are confusing monofillament with fireline which is Dynema fibers which is the same used in mountain climbing ropes! Monofillament will dry rott which is plastic, fireline, powerpro(spectrafibers)wildfire(Wildfire is a thermally coated Spectra fiber used as beadweaving thread and comes in two sizes .006 and .008 inches= straight off beadalon website) wont rot or they wouldnt use them in mountainclimbing ropes. And yes wildfire and powerpro use the same fibers for the thread just weaved and bonded in different ways! Hopefully this clears things up for many! I personally use all of the above for beading. Keep the good videos coming potomacbead company....

What do you recommend for clear beads? I’d like a thread that you can’t see through the beads?

Does wildfire come in a super thin weight like fire line 2 lb. ?

how do you close it? crimp beads? knotts? thank you!

I am confused. Is tiger tail a thread or wire? I have seen it called both. I usually use wild fire or fire line.

I don't do beading. I just want to hang pieces of crystal near a sunny window to see rainbow effects. What's the best thickness of nylon thread to use?

Hi! What type of glue do you use on wildfire & fire line?

What would you use for peyote stitching? I tried using Wildfire today, and I COULD NOT get it to work. The bead kept getting stuck on the knot in the eye of the needle. I spent an hour and a half trying to make a bracelet, and it just wouldn't work.

how bout making brick stitch earrings with fringe what do you say to use thanks

what about the one G is that any good to use?

Which is better for seedbeads and going through a few times 006 or 008

i wonder if you can help me. I have a pendant and I'm looking for a thread that is see through almost crystal clear in nature so that when I wear it it just looks like a free floating pendant. I hope this makes sense. If it does, Can you please tell me what kind of thread I need to use? I've tried monofil but it coils way too much it doesn't sit well on my neck. it scrunches up.

bonjour, je vous remerçie beaucoup de m'avoir répondu.Je regarde souvent vos vidéos.Merçi,merçi...

Thank you. Can you use the nylon used in making bead bags or necklaces?

can i use these threads for crystal bracelet jewelry ?

I have one other question....if using a 15/0 bead can the Wildfire thread be used? I would like to be able to pass through the bead at least a total of 2 times. And, can a 10 needle be used to do this or do I have to use a 15 needle? Okay that wasn't just one question...more like two...thank you for your time again.

I really enjoyed your video, but I still didn't get the answer about WHICH NEEDLE to use with wildFire/Beadalon. I am making a leather beaded bracelet and my big issue is the size and type of needle. I have a hell of a hard time passing my size 10 needle thought the leather to start or stop the project. Please can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I really will appreciate it.

I can never find the green FireLine

Sorry, I'm so new at beading. Is the thread stretchy or not?

I have quite a bit of the 6 lb. Fireline. Can i use that instead of the .006 wildfire on potamic projects?

What do you recommend for transparent beads?

I accidentally bought 10lb fire line can I still use it?

What beads do you use for seed beads?

Is the #6 larger or smaller than #8 pound line

Hi. I bought a beadalon 7 strand .015 in and I made a badge lanyard. I've made a couple before with different thread and it broke and beads everywhere. Should I worry this will break and redo it with a different thread? If so what would you recommend?
