Hey -I put every bead onto the thread first! Then they dont get lost and I can sit in front of the telly or even on a train and get on with the knotting.
You put the OTHER end through each knot as you go, the end without all the beads of course.
Otherwise you have to keep threading each bead on singly, dangling threads and needles and you cant do the special clever stuff with gimp which I teach.
I didnt invent it, but had to work it out for myself because you could see the results on old necklaces when taken apart for rethreading, but nobody in the business in the '60s would show me.
Finally I simplified the technique to a point where it was possible to demonstrate and pass on.
When I get an imaging tutorial with my brand new computer I PROMISE to give some pictures...
