Bugle Bead
Bugle Bead
I am using bugle beads and the nymo D with waxing keeps breaking. I need flexibility don't want to use firelin?
Fireline can be more flexible, if you buy the 4 lb instead of 6lb. It also helps flexability, if you are carefull with your tension.
You will have issues with the bugle beads fraying pretty much anything - the edges are left sharp as part of the manufacturing process.
Most people deal with this issue in the following ways:
1. using Fireline
2. place a seed bead both before and after each bugle bead to help take the stress off the thread
3. buy the expensive japanese bugles made by either Miyuki or Toho - their bugle beads have been light polished to remove the worst of the sharp edges.
If you really can't use Fireline because you need more fleability, try using braided spider wire. (Find it in the fishing line section) It only comes in green and is a bit heavier weight than most beading thread, but it is less likely to break or be cut as quickly as other thread will be. Over time however, it too will be worn through by the sharp edges.
Nymo is a nylon thread that will fray, stretch, and give out over time. If you really want all of your work to last, it is best in the long run to use fireline or one of the sturdier beading products. (Found this out the hard way, when I first started beading)
