Best explanation of the difference between twisted and tubular! I watched 6 different videos and was still confused until I watched 3 minutes of your video! Thanks for appreciating my time!

Your videos on bead basics are by far the most accessible for a beginner and entertaining I have seen on youtube. I working on a project for my girlfriends birthday so having to learn a lot in a short time. I did have a little panic when you said "down two and up one" as I thought 'Oh my word everyone else was saying "down one up two" but loved that you explain why and with a test it does indeed have more of a twist to it. Great that you take time to explain things saves me looking bewildered and thinking "why are they doing that" as I have with some other videos.

Your instructions are always clear, and your insider beading wisdom that you share with us is so helpful. Would have never considered doing a down 1/up 2 (that IS difficult to sputter out, even in text, lol). I think I can see where the angle in which it goes over is less pronounced, straighter, so the spiral would be more subtle. Very interesting!! I may have to test it out. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day, Jill.

So far you are the best at explaining 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thanks for another great tutorial, Jill! Love your technique of the down 2, up 1 much better than the other way! You are right-the spiral is tighter and much more pronounced!! Love watching your videos!

Thank you Jill, once again, your video tutorials are the best of the rest!! I love listening to your explanations because they're expressed so intelligently and concisely. I have and love your book and I hope you'll do some tutorials from the projects there, because its so much easier to understand when you demonstrate it for us. On my wish list.....

jill yours is by far the best instructions

She is the best teacher of beading ! Thank you so much !

Thank you, Jill. I cannot wait to do this. I am working on the satellites and the mambo bracelets. Need to finish up before I start more. I get so excited to do all your videos!

Very helpful video, I’d forgotten how many to go down. I also find it helpful to stick a double pointed needle into the tube to create a handle of sorts.

Brilliant ! Thanks Jill so much, I've been struggling with twisted tubular herringbone for ages , I've been beading for years and hadn't done twisted tubular in a while but I just couldn't get it , completely lost it ! But your tutorial is amazing . I have my mojo back ;-)) thanks love your videos. You are a star !

You have givenmea new addiction! Thankyousomuch!plus my45thiscoming soon and this is how I will always remember it,with beads and Jill!

🌼 Jill I've made one of these bracelets doing the up one, down two. First try and all didn't come out bad. But as they say practice makes perfect. So when I'm learning something new I do it five times so I'll remember it and hopefully after five times I'll have it own pat. So I decided to watch your tutorial as well. Picking all the beaders wonderful techniques and tips. I am not finished with the bracelet, but I had to stop and tell you I love ❤️ UP 2 - DOWN 1. I love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ it. Thank you so much 😊 for the tip. Have a wonderful 🌞 day. B hap, hap happy 😊 my beading buddy! 💞 🌷 🙃🌸 This bouquet is for you. 💐

I absolutely love your videos, but I have one suggestion, is it possible for you to show the finished project in the beginning and end of the video so we know what we are working towards?

Another very clear and easy to follow video. Love them all Thanks. Laney in the UK.

your videos are always on point. you make beading so easy. good work there.

Wow! I never knew that down 2 and up 1 has a better spiral then up 2 and down 1 before. I tried making a spiral herringbone by using the latter and indeed the spiral wasn't that prominent. I'll definitely try making the down 2 and up 1 technique! Thanks for that! :)

I like your projects, they are so easy to learn. thanks for sharing.

Wow, I was taught to go down one up two. I'm trying your way and am sure I'll like it thanks for the great tutorial.

WOW! Best instructions for spiral herringbone I've found. I tried to make a thin spiral for a simple short necklace, so went with 11/0 beads and ended up using just 4 in each round - 2 black and 2 haematite. Really pleased with it, but it's still a bit thick... Perhaps not the best stitch for what I want?

I love the idea of no step up! Thanks!

Very helpful Jill! Thank You Very Much!

Ah ha! So that's the difference. I tried a tri-color spiral herringbone after watching and it wasn't very twisted. I was doing the down 1, up 2 method. If I hadn't already glued on an end cap, I'd start over. Thanks for explaining the difference.

Love this stitch! And, I can testify to the "down 1, up 2". I have made many necklaces and bracelets playing with both ways... I wanted to reverse my direction on individual pieces (one side spiraling one direction and mirroring the opposite side) and did the1/2 and it turned out horribly. It is better to just reverse the direction of the stitch and stick to the "down 2, up 1".

Jill I love all your videos I've learned a lot watching them! Was wondering if and when you'll do another give away for a beading board would love to get one!!

I wish you would do some of the videos in sets, I don't see many necklaces, they seem to be bracelets.I'm a beginner and would like to see more sets. Thanks have a wonderful day.

How do you end the piece with a matching ladder stitch? Could you please show that to your audience. Thank You!....for wonderful instruction!

the thumbnail pic looks completely different - did you start that with 6 bead round too? The turquoise and teal one that is quite big around.

very nice work, thank you .

Amiga realmente quiero felicitarte eres una maestra excelente aunque no comprendo el ingles, con tu explicación gráfica me es suficiente, mil gracias, te envio un enorme abrazo, saludos

Hello Jill, I love the spiral tubular herringbone tutorial (along with everything else you do). My question is; is there anyway you could let all know what colors and how many around you used in the picture that is next to the tutorial on youtube? Thanks so much

Thought I might give this ago because it seems so more interesting than the normal tubular herringbone but I am wondering if you have any tips on how to best end the tread and add new thread?

Hi Jill I love your videos, as they help me starting beading. I even worked out how to do it :-) and that feels great. Just one thing is not clear to me. How do you start new threads and how do you seem the threads up when finished the desired length of the bracelet. Is there a video? I have tried googling it, but nothing showed up ...

thank you

FYI I didn't have to do a step up doing it this way. Cool 😎 tip.

Can you do this with 8mm pearls?

Love you work, but I was wondering what kind of string is best to use?

Can this bracelet be made as a roll on with using different thread, nuscuo thread. Sorry if spelled wrong.?

Best of all

How thread do I need to make necklace?

Hi Jill. I love your tutorials and they have helped me understand so many different techniques. However in one or two videos you gone out of shot and I cannot see what you are doing. Apart from that I will definately keep watching. You make everything so simple!

I love this stitch, but am now wondering how to end it. Jill, I love your videos because I'm a visual learner and they are so helpful, but this one kind of left my thread hanging. Can you help with another video or a link to another video that will show how to end the piece? Thanks

Just found out why I need to do the step up. The bracelet will not spiral if I don't step up! Wanted to add the correction to my previous comment so your viewers don't get confused.

thanks Jill,but can I use my crystal bead on this project? scared my beading rope will show,thanks

2 questions... To make a necklace, I figure the thread will have to be about 10 ft. long. That's a lot of thread to pull through each bead! Am I wrong? Can I use two size 8/0 colours and one size 10/0?

Is this the same stitch as Twisted Tubular Herring bone.

No permite ver bien lo que esta haciendo.

Why do you show you on the top

what does that you work on ?

How can I talk to you through whatsapp

Love you work, but I was wondering what kind of string is best to use?
