Right?! I'm like - NO WAY.

Yesssss! I feel so much better now - it always felt so much thicker to me too!

Same! I appreciated this video so much. I know some people love Wildfire, so I decided to try it, having used mostly Fireline for so long. Not only does it act thicker, I think it's more easily cut by crystal edges. I just redid a bracelet with crystals that was first done with Wildfire, and towards the end of making it I noticed that a thread had broken right in the middle of the bracelet, right on a crystal. So, it's been redone with Fireline now and will hopefully last a little longer. I'll used the Wildfire I have eventually for projects that suit it better, but I won't be buying it again.

I have bead woven items I made 20 years ago with thread (both Nymo and Fireline) that are still strong as ever. :-)

Blush. Thank you!

Super frustrating!

Just a heads up that Nanofil has been discontinued. Sniffles. I loved it.

@@JillWisemanDesigns I hate to hear that. I love Nanofil too.

I have never tried it. It's made by a competitor, so it's not something I would carry.

Maybe you're referring to Dragon thread? That's one created by Potomac Beads. I've never used it and I don't carry it.

People will tell you that Fireline doesn't stretch, but as you discovered, they're wrong. You might make the bangle one tile bigger so you don't need to work so hard to put it on. Stretching it over your hand as you put it on and take it off is what caused the stretching. Otherwise, you might be better off redoing it with a clasp.

@@JillWisemanDesigns thanks good ideas

KO thread frim my understaning is a nylon threat the people tend to use when making fringe earrings

@@reneejurgensen7280 I use it for general beading.

Oh, Fireline definitely tangles!! Sounds like you've just been lucky! It's not as bad as thread though, and usually easier to get the knot out.

Is it happening because your beads are rubbing the thread?

The only reason Fireline would fray is because it's getting shredded by being dragged across the edge of the beads. When you're pulling your thread through the beads, pull it straight through - not at an angle that drags it along the edge. It can also fray when you've ripped out beads over and over again in your project. The minute you see fraying, you should end that length of thread and start a new one.

@@JillWisemanDesignsExactly! Also, I agree with you, Jill. I have used both Fireline and Wildfire, and I much prefer Fireline.

That is 100% untrue, so don't worry.

Which one feels old?

Nanofil is discontinued, but the rumors about Fireline being discontinued are 100% false.

No - for fringing you should go with Wildfire because it's more thread-like and has a soft drape. But personally, I use One G thread.

We don't play music when I'm talking. Only a short clip at the beginning of the video. There is zero background music.

I don't hear any music when she's talking.

I've never had a project where the fireline melted. I'm in Florida. Never even heard of this.

I've never heard of Fireline melting in a piece. I don't believe it would do that. I live in Texas and I've used Fireline for 18 years. It's been exposed to temperatures over 100 degrees every summer. I believe this is false information. Sorry. Updated: Just to keep myself sane, I did look it up: If monofilament line is in 105 degrees or higher, it can melt. But basically, you'd have to put a piece of jewelry in the sun on a 100+ degree day and leave it there for it to start melting.

HAHAHAHA! Just one mistake. In 2009. ;-)
