Hi Laura, thanks so much for making this video.  I love how you start the herringbone -- much better than starting with ladder stitch.  And thanks too for the good idea of using an extra long piece of thread, so that we can work off both sides.  I learned a lot! 😘

Thanks for a fantastic video and a counter-intuitive way to start off. I find this method really great because I really don't like weaving in the ends much and so I use a double wingspan of thread, start off in the middle and then have another length to finish beading. This saves me a lot of weaving in ends. Thanks again!

I have just recently found your channel…love your videos and have learned so much from your tutorials. Thank you for sharing your incredible skill and knowledge 🙏

Thank you so much for teaching this method. I have tried many times to start herringbone tubes and always get mixed up on where to go. This approach makes it much easier and understandable.

Only you showed me how to remove the ladder stitch at the beginning. That is so good to have gone! Looking ti mire and better herringbone with you.

Love the start steps you have shown - I've never seen that before. Great technique!  Thanks.  Very useful to not have the ladder stitch at the base and able to work either end.

You are wonderful, with your teaching and easy to follow.
Thank you 😊

Finally, I'm going to be able to work with this stitch! Thank you!❤

Thank you for a wonderful video.  I have used tubular herringbone in the past, but after looking at your completed projects at the end, you have inspired me to get beading again and doing more interesting designs!  Love from 🇬🇷 Greece!

Thank you! I never heard of this way before, but it's super easy and I'll use it going forward.

I just found your channel! Excellence is what your teaching skills are!

The best way to start tubular herringbone🌸

Thank you so much for this demonstration. I really appreciate your work.

Thank you so much for your tutorial! Within minutes I was working on a bracelet! You're a most excellent teacher!

What a wonderful studio, love your cabinets with all the drawers.  And your featherweight.  Thank you for your videos.  please make more.

Wonderful directions!  easy to follow😊

Great and easy job 😊

Thank you for a wonderful video

Very different way of doing tubular herring bone .I wl try .thnk you mam.

Once upon a time someone gave me an issue of Beadwork magazine that had your artist profile in it (and the pattern to the ribbons and rings bracelet) and that was it. I'd done some basic beading before (and the basic stitches which make up the foundation of beading aren't hard) but that began my love of sculptural beadwork and it'ssnowballed from that point. Holding out hope for a Toronto class if you make it to Canada when this whole mess is over.
