Medley Component Tutorial

You can name just about any beadweaving stitch, and there's a good chance it's in this beading tutorial - it's not called the Medley Component for nothing because there's much to explore in such a tiny piece! Get ready to perfect various stitches by beginning with Netting, followed by Peyote, Hubble, Right Angle Weave, and finally, Square Stitch. As you progress through the lacey design, take notice of all the many places to stop and proceed with your own style that will produce a pendant, a pair of earrings, or link-together units for a bracelet and necklace!

    Love shopping with Potomac beads, but there always seems to be a problem with the discount being applied to my orders. If I contact CS they take care of the problem, but it's frustrating not the have it right the first time.
