Should we avoid water on seed beads? Hi Sabiha, some seed beads finishes are not durable and will come off over time due to wear, exposure to chemicals or even sweat. In general, I avoid getting my beaded jewelry wet so I prolong the life of the piece. Which are the major brands for Czech seed beads and where are best places to get either the Japanese or Czech beads online? Hi, it depends. You may notice the difference when using techniques like Peyote Stitch that really depend on the consistency of beads but again, that depends on the project.

Delicas , generally more expensive than seed beads, are typically sold in small er amounts. Many beaders prefer Delicas because t hey have large holes for their size which accommodate s multiple passes of thread , they require little culling, and they come in a huge variety of colors.
A finished project using Delicas would weigh less than a comparable seed bead project, since the walls of the Delicas are very thin. Remember: Miyuki manufacture s beads, seed beads and Delicas.
All Delicas are made by Miyuki, but not all beads from Miyuki are Delicas. Delicas create a n even, tiled-looking surface. Woven s eed beads are less even and far bumpier. If you work a project graphed for Delicas in traditional seed beads or vice versa the design might work, but it would be somewhat distorted, since seed beads are proportioned differently. To confuse matters further, there are other brands of cylinder beads.
Toho "Treasures" used to be called "Antiques," but the name was changed to minimize confusion, since the beads are not antique. The Toho Cylinder Bead is called " Aiko beads. They can be intermingled for a textured effect. Aikos require little or no culling of the beads. The rounded edges will not cut threads in right angle weaving.
I rarely use cylinder beads for backstitching in bead embroidery. The delica beads are more expensive, but per gram you get more beads if you compare them to seed beads. Which beads do you use? I only use delicabeads.
As I do a lot of peyote stitch projects they are perfect for me. How do I tell the difference to separate them? Dear Louise, Thank you for your message. Auch that is a pity 2 mixed up, I am afraid the only trick is to look very VERY good to seperate it, or to use it as a mix for for example easily string bracelets. Sometimes it helps seprating by picking up with needle, to see the difference more easier. Good luck with separating! Your email address will not be published.
