How Do I?

Hi Gypsy Mary,

I'm not sure that would work for odd number stitches. Sorry to hear that the other stitch wasn't what it appeared to be. Square stitch should work for your piece. When it's ready for distribution, I'll let you know. Thanks for your interest.

About the only things the two stitches share in common are that both are non-alternating and appear similar to loom work. 'Square' stitch is worked in the same direction as loom work; beads are oriented with the holes open left and right (on their sides). In '90 Degree Off-Loom' stitch, the beads are oriented with the holes top and bottom (on their ends). Take a piece of loom work and turn it on its side to the left -- hence the name '90 Degree Off-Loom'.

so, if I understand the paragraph above. The beads are added 2 at a time like a four lane Highway.(four rows of beads) when you get to the other side, then the beadwork is flipped over and you bead 2 beads at a time, going back accross the four lanes of the Beadwork..(like a Herrinbone stitch without the seperation, but joining each set of two beads to the previously added two beads.??

This would look like loom work.

humm, must try that...

I am waiting with baited breathe to learn more about the (90 degree off loom Loomliss stitch.) Is there anything I can do to help with the tutorial? I have been beading as long as I can remember. mostly traditional stuff. If you email me the instructions, I will give it a try. I have 34 inch Custom design Belt to get done ASAP. I think I will start it, with Fireline and a Square Stitch.

You idea is very interesting.

Hi SeaBeads,

Glad to hear from you.

Yes, the DSL is still acting up. They sent us a new modem, but that didn't fix it. I figure between my husband and our provider, the problem will eventually be fixed, but it's so frustrating!

You're not rushing me, so don't worry about that. The tutorial has become a 'book', so I split it into two sections: (1) Basic, and (2) Version#2. I'm trying to figure out a way to stablize the illustrations -- pieces tend to move around when I do the Web Preview (testing only); also found some extras (arrows & lines) that I didn't know where there, so I'm fixing that. I think it would be easier to write computer code, but I only got as far as Basic (and that was years ago). Thankfully I'm not writing instructions for this (just the illustrations); unless you feel instructions should be included (proofreading).

I'm also reworking a cuff bracelet that I made recently -- changing from toggle to button closure.

Thanks for your patience. Hope all's well with you, too.

Hi Ottercat,

Are you still having problems with the DSL modem? I don't want to rush you in any way but I'm just curious about the progress of your work.

Hope everything's OK.

Greetings from Karin.

Hi SeaBeads,

Welcome back . I'm having problems with our DSL modem -- if you don't 'hear' from me, that's why.

Did you notice if any of the deleted posts (missing photos) were re-posted (Reader Photo Gallery)? I started a thread to ask the others to re-post their work, but there's no response . Have to look where I posted it. Found it. Would you see if I worded it okay? Located in Forums > All Things Beading from Interweave > Beading Daily > Attention: Failed Reader Photo Gallery Posts. Thanks

Later,

Sarah

Hi ScottishSue,

So was yours -- private is the message sent, but not who sent it. I think I understand how this works. Good system.

Back to work,

Sarah

Hi ScottishSue,

Thank you -- I got your email; not blocked, just goes to 'suspect email', then I go thru it (usually daily, but set to keep for several days) and delete. There's a 'spam' setting, too -- that blocks whatever is designated for that category. By-the-by, was my email address visible in the email I sent you? I'm still figuring out the different ways to communicate (public & private). No worries -- that's fine. Thanks .

Sarah

Hi Sarah

I got your email and replied via email as well, but I got a note back that my message was blocked. So I just wanted to let you know

that you have not lost me. Thank you for your note though. All is well.

Hi Sarah:

Glad to hear you are getting your tutorial worked out. I know how much hard work that can be.

By the way, I'd rather have 42 pages of complete instructions than 2 pages of skimpy ones. So go for it!!!!
