[linawidhy]

Thanks for sharing these size. I would like to know What cord, strong wire or elastic for bracelet . I have miyuki 8/0, What is the best elastic strechy size for making bracelet? Shall I double it or is enough with a single one ? Thank you

I would like you to line them up on the wire, take a picture of it, then label each bead according to the overall size & hole size, as well as to its shape, like rounded edges or straight edges. Something that I could refer to when buying my beads. I get really confused by it being a 2mm or an 11/O size. I have decided to use different sizes because I bought the 2mm beads that LOOKED like they were larger. On top of that, I needed to add at least $2.00 more to get free shipping and so I bought TWO of the same WRONG SIZE beads. My mom said I should mention that I didn't buy them through your WebSite. Thank you.

Hope you would talk about 2/0 and 34/0 sizes .

Is there something in toho or miyuki that is between 15 and 11?

[anitarogers]

At roughly 2.10 mark, when demonstrating the size of a bead on the needle, did you not think using an almost clear bead with the back-drop of your fingers, made it exceptionally difficult to see? With respect, in future, please use darker coloured beads!

You said some Asian words there. No explanation. I speakie English.
So I guess these are Brands? So if I am getting set up for bead work is it important to pick the right brand so I never have problems with things matching up in the future or problems finding the beads of that brand?
