Hi everyone.

I have been missing in action for quite a while. I am busy going through old posts, to see what I missed. This one caught my eye. The easiest way to keep your first few rows straight when doing Peyote stitch, is that after each bead that you add, you must pull your threads very tight, which makes them form the shape of the first two rows. The best thread to use when first learning how to do peyote stitch, is Fireline. The other thing, is that when doing peyote stitch, you must use uniform seed beads for example, like Delica, Toho, Preciosa or Matsuno seed beads. If your beads are not a uniform shape, then your beading will not take form properly, or it will be out of shape.

You can also buy a " Quick Start Peyote " Card, designed by Deb Moffet-Hall. It can be used for even and odd count peyote stitch. It is perfect for beginners. There are different cards for the different size beads.
