Hi, Is there a specific reason why spangles are done with wire and not Nymo beading thread? Is it just tradition, or does it have to do with something else. I figure since a lot of beading is done with the Nymo thread, it must be strong enough for spangling as well. I am having a very hard

Hello Marianne and everyone Wire used to be used all the time because that's what was available. Fishing line/monofilament, dental floss, beading thread, wire - use whatever you like that works for you :) I like the way of the beads on wire and that is my preference. I find with the others the

I think the spangling method depends on who taught you. I was taught to use wire, so that's what I usually use. I tried various methods, and learned different ways of dealing with problems. I like to have the wire go through the bobbin hole twice and fasten on each side. However, some
