Thanks to the arrival of my dearest friend (brain cell # 3) I've found a new and neater way of adding a large bead to the centre of an SR.
I say it's 'new' but I know from 65 (and a half!) years on this planet that there's nowt new under the sun!!! That's my sister's sun, of course!!!
I've always found that the way I've done them before (by pulling the core thread down and adding the bead) made it fiddly to close the SR - AND didn't give me a totally tidy result.
So I fiddled around the other evening and I think I've found a better way.
So, here's what I do now!!!!!

Well, as I have never learned the first way, I will now be able to experiment with the new, improved method! - thank you for the lovely clear diagrams.
ReplyDeleteBRILLIANT! Thanks so much Jane! I may learn to love beads yet.

And this will help me with my 'big' problem' making sure that the ring is big enough for the bead. Thanks, Jane.
ReplyDeleteI've done it!!! Great fantastic, like Maureen never knew how to do it any other way so this is the only way now - thanks big sis
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea...I have troubled determining the size of SR and making it secure. It's one of greatest invention in tat land I think! ^_^
