What a Freeform Delight...
Yesterday I traveled to Bettendorf, Iowa to teach a class in Freeform Peyote. The class took place at Your Design, Ltd - a delightful and fun bead store located in Cumberland Square. The gals did such an impressive job developing their Freeforms! It was so great seeing what the gals did - I was impressed...and they were so much fun! Below you will find pictures I took of each person's beautiful work. (Click on the pictures to see closer detail.) Here is Marla, Chere, Cindyann, and Janice....

Jeanne, What "thread" do you use the most? Especially on the freeform. Mary
Hi Mary, I use size D Nymo, but from the large spool. As I understand, from one of Diane Fitzgerald's books, the spool thread is slightly heavier, stronger and is bonded tighter... Spool Nymo is used for the leather industry for sewing shoes,purses and belts-the spool thread is used on the top of the sewing machine and the bobbins go into the bobbin well... I also like it because I use so much of it and it doesn't have the "kinks" like bobbin Nymo. Everyone has their favorite - what kind do you like?
I tend to use Fireline almost exclusively. I am so happy they finally came out with Crystal fireline. It looks so much prettier in the crystals than the Smoke color did. Okay, another question--do you have to use Thread Heaven or some other product to condition Nymo? Thanks!
Thanks again for the great class. It was a lot of fun.
Looks like a really fun class. Sorry I missed it.
