Ask the Experts Beading Q&A

I’m having trouble with my seed bead fringe earrings. I’m always having an issue with curling. How do you keep them soft and flowy? I’m using Fireline 4lbs. Also it’s hard to find a balance between pulling them a little bit on the tighter side or having too much of a gap. Could it be the thread? What is the trick ? 

We recommend that you use a hair straightener to flatten your thread before stringing the seed beads. This trick ensures that seed bead fringe drapes beautifully. Tighten your thread tight, then lay the fringe on your work surface and roll it with your fingers to give it just the right tension.
