Q.
I recently started creating peyote free-form bracelets, and even though I am new to beading I am not new to various artistic pursuits. That being said, I basically over engineer my bracelets, but they are still falling apart after they are made. I am using FireLine® 6-pound test beading thread. I make several knots to end a thread and weave the tail in as long as possible and I sew the clasps three or four times. I am using mostly seed beads and if I do use a crystal I surround it with smaller beads so it doesn't cut the line. It then astounds me that as soon as the bracelet is worn it starts falling apart. Can anyone tell me what I must be doing wrong; I am completely mystified. Thanks.
