Using An Open/ Box Loom - Part Three: Setting Up 2 Needle Loom Beadwork

An introduction to setting up a box loom for bead work with seed beads. Part three demonstrates how to tie on the weft threads so you can get started beading. This will demonstrate a form of two needle loom bead work. All you need are beads (this project uses 11's), beading thread (Nymo size B), beading needles (size 12), scissors and bees wax. Remember to make sure the beads, needles and thread are all compatible and are not too large or too small to be used with each other. You don't need to wax the cotton warp threads but you do need to wax the Nymo weft threads. Once you decide which thread goes under the work the other will always go over (I always work with the left thread under and the right thread over). You will need to maintain that order through the rest of the work. Good luck!
