Stitching with Two-Hole Shaped Beads

I really like this book. Great patterns to bead by.

Very clear instructions, and great patterns that I've used multiple times and adapted for variations. I'm not great at figuring out the pathways that I need to beadweave, so it's terrific to find such a versatile book that solves this problem for me. There are bead books that are very difficult to follow. No fear, this one is easy to follow. You will love this one.

If you love SuperDuos and other 2-holed beads then I think you'll enjoy the patterns in the book. I've done several so far. Patterns have good instructions to follow which I have difficulty reading most patterns. I'm glad I purchased this book even though I hadn't found any reviews on the book and bought it regardless.

I like this book because it made me experiment with some of the newer bead shapes. Since I am an experienced beader, the directions were easy to follow. Not sure beginners would find it so. My biggest complaint is one that I thought we had finally overcome in the seed bead world --- listing the number, instead of (or in addition to) the weight of the beads needed for a project. The number of beads is only helpful if they come on a string eg squares, studs, and daggers that can be easily counted. Superduos, Bricks, Tilas, etc. are sold by weight. I have no idea how many Bricks are in 10 oz. or how many superduos are in 24 grams when buying in a store or when ordering online. At least I can return to the store if I run out and hopefully they will still have some in the same dye lot. Not so easy online. I admit that the online stores could also do a better job with this as well. So, please authors, list the weight of beads that sell in tubes or packages. I really do not want to count out 164 superduos in the bead store.

Love the super duo bead projects and have completed five. I recommend this book for beaders who want to use the new two-hole shaped beads; it is worth the price. I just finished the necklace on the cover and made matching earrings and bracelet.

Excellent book. Instructions are clear and lead to good results using two-hole shaped beads. I like the fact that the author starts with beginner projects and then works the reader up to complicated projects. This is a book I would recommend to anyone into beading arts.

What can I say about this is that it is exceptional!! I have written the author and let her know that all my Senior Citizen students think this book that they all bought, has become one of the newest favorites! Great designs and concepts. Look forward to another from her soon!

I love this book. There is a wide variety and skill level for projects. The book is nicely illustrated. This is the first time I wrote a review for any item but I thought it was such a wonderful book I needed to leave a review.

This has got to be one of the best bead weaing books on the market. In fact, I'm tempted to say EVER! There isn't one project that I didn't want to make as soon as I saw it. The instructions are well written and easy to follow with clear diagrams and beautiful photographs. As you have probably guessed - I REALLY love this book.

Ce livre est parfait : il résume toutes les techniques utilisables pour tisser les perles à deux trous et les modèles sont classés par degré de difficulté. Les bijoux réalisés sont simples et il n'y a qu'à suivre les schémas pour les confectionner. Je recommande à toutes les perleuses fans de superduos, rulla et tiles

Very clear instructions along with excellent diagrams make this book a 'must' for all offloom beadweavers. It is up to date giving ideas on using the new two-hole shaped beads now available on the market. Useful for new and experienced beaders alike. I would definitely recommend this book.

Virginia Jensen est ma créatrice préférée... alors j'adore ce nouveau livre plein d'idées pour jouer avec les multiples formes de perles à deux trous disponibles aujourd'hui.

Requires more in-depth reading than I have so far managed as I would say this book is more suited to those with more experience than I have with this type of beading. The method described is a bit too lost in the text to follow easily so concentration would be required (or you could just write out the sequence in which the beads are to be used to get rid of some of the confusing text surrounding it). Diagrams are clear but, again, you would probably have to look at them a few times to understand what to do. I imagine that a few trial runs would be required to be comfortable with following the patterns, which are really fabulous and I can't wait to have a go at some of them.
