Dear Antje,
You asked about sequins. There is more than one type of sequin or similar
attachment for lace and they are made from different materials. There are
probably manufacturers in many countries and they may have different ways
of manufacturing sequins. I suggest you draw thread throu
And what about sequins? Can they also cut the thread? I have never used
them, but are now wondering...
Thanks a lot for all your contributions on this subject!
Best wishes from Spain: lovely spring weather today.

It would certainly happen both while you were making the lace and later, when
it was being used, if you used sharp bugle beads. With the metal ones, I am not
so sure. It would probably be fine in the making, but wear through the thread
later. I don't think it would matter what thread you used -
I imagine that you mean that the thread can break while working with it...
Or can it also happen that it breaks after you have made the lace, once you
are using it?
I had never thought of this before until Pene asked. It has never happened
to me... Do you think it can depend on the type of thread
As well as bugles, I was advised by a bead teacher that some of the round
metal beads (not glass beads) can wear through thread. So I avoided trying
them.

I used several times beads in my laces. In no case happened anything like
cutting the thread or the finished lace.

I would agree with Kathleen here. Bugle beads or beads with chips should be
avoided at almost all costs when you are making anything involving beads. The
only way to get around the challenge with bugle beads is to put a seed bead at
either end of the bugle bead. Then the thread isn't rubbing
I have not used beads in my lace very often, but I find that bugle beads -
the long slim ones - often cut the thread when I am beading! And that is
nylon beading thread. I think that bugle beads are cut from a tube and,
unless they are very good quality, have sharp edges. It doesn't seem to
happen
