Hi, Sorry, this is off topic but I can't find anywhere else to ask this question. I have just realized that I am no longer getting email notices from beadingdaily.com. I checked and I am registered. I am still getting email updates from the online site of the "other" beading magazine but yours is my favourite. My lttle beady heart is broken!!! Don't you like me anymore? Please tell me how I can make it up to you? ; ) Thanks, sharmanlmartin@hotmail.com

I like so much zulu beadwork, I live in Argentina and it's very difficult buy this book because I can't find in the library and in same cases no shipping in my country. I have to know what I do to sell the book?, thanks so much, Jean

It is possible that the page above is just what I was planning to write about. But in case it isn't, I'd like to suggest that you add a choice to your numerous pages of useful information that one may want to print. Many websites have the option to select a printer friendly page for paper saving. Save a tree!

when i do Herringbone, sometimes when i get to the part where you go up, and the thread shows, i just add another Delica to the side, and go up it. it looks cool too when you make a cuff. :) it will have that extra bead on each side. i like how it looks. gina :)

Mary-The looping technique is the standard way to do hidden-thread turnarounds. Since you loop the thread around threads that are already placed (like you do with brick stitch), it won't pull through. The tricky thing about herringbone stitch is that you don't want to upset the flow of the beads too much or you'll lose that signature chevron pattern the beads make. If you made a square or brick stitch for the turnaround, you risk losing that pattern. Jean

You said "Or I can loop the thread between beads to make the turnaround, creating a flat edge with no thread showing". It seems to me that the thread loop will pull back through to the top of that last bead. Maybe to avoid an unidentified slack thread there, you should just brick stick it at the top of the bead? What do you think? Mary
