Stitching with Two-Hole Shaped Beads

I really like this book. Great patterns to bead by.

Very clear instructions, and great patterns that I've used multiple times and adapted for variations. I'm not great at figuring out the pathways that I need to beadweave, so it's terrific to find such a versatile book that solves this problem for me. There are bead books that are very difficult to follow. No fear, this one is easy to follow. You will love this one.

If you love SuperDuos and other 2-holed beads then I think you'll enjoy the patterns in the book. I've done several so far. Patterns have good instructions to follow which I have difficulty reading most patterns. I'm glad I purchased this book even though I hadn't found any reviews on the book and bought it regardless.

I like this book because it made me experiment with some of the newer bead shapes. Since I am an experienced beader, the directions were easy to follow. Not sure beginners would find it so. My biggest complaint is one that I thought we had finally overcome in the seed bead world --- listing the number, instead of (or in addition to) the weight of the beads needed for a project. The number of beads is only helpful if they come on a string eg squares, studs, and daggers that can be easily counted. Superduos, Bricks, Tilas, etc. are sold by weight. I have no idea how many Bricks are in 10 oz. or how many superduos are in 24 grams when buying in a store or when ordering online. At least I can return to the store if I run out and hopefully they will still have some in the same dye lot. Not so easy online. I admit that the online stores could also do a better job with this as well. So, please authors, list the weight of beads that sell in tubes or packages. I really do not want to count out 164 superduos in the bead store.

Love the super duo bead projects and have completed five. I recommend this book for beaders who want to use the new two-hole shaped beads; it is worth the price. I just finished the necklace on the cover and made matching earrings and bracelet.

Excellent book. Instructions are clear and lead to good results using two-hole shaped beads. I like the fact that the author starts with beginner projects and then works the reader up to complicated projects. This is a book I would recommend to anyone into beading arts.

What can I say about this is that it is exceptional!! I have written the author and let her know that all my Senior Citizen students think this book that they all bought, has become one of the newest favorites! Great designs and concepts. Look forward to another from her soon!

I love this book. There is a wide variety and skill level for projects. The book is nicely illustrated. This is the first time I wrote a review for any item but I thought it was such a wonderful book I needed to leave a review.
