regarding instructions for the beading
The pattern on this item shows four different symbols for beading required. When I ordered the materials, I only got three different beads two were the same number as the pattern and one - 3039 - was not what was called for in the pattern.
Also the instructions on the pattern are as follows for the beading - attach crystal treasures by coming up in the center of the space you want the treasure to go. pick up the treasure with your beading needle and then pick up a similar colored glass seed bead. Go down through the center of the treasure (the same hole you used to pick it up) and secure it well to the backside before continuing to stitch or bead. the seed bead holds the treasure down.
So I have four symbols on my pattern and only three different beads and now the instructions talk about treasure and beads as if you need to put two together?
How do I work this with what I have? looking forward to your answer as soon as possible

Regards

Did they say anything about it in the instruction sheet? I notice that there is silver filament no 001

I'm sure that others have better advice than mine, but when I bead, I cross stitch my bead in. go up in a hole, pick up treasure and bead, go down the next hole; come up 3rd hole and through treasure and bead and down the 4th hole. This makes an "X" and keeps the treasure and bead more secure. (more secure than going through it once).

It's a charm that you have to buy for the pattern. Some projects calls for little charms.

Go with the information on the leaflet. Call customer service for the site you purchased the materials from. If ECS, they will be happy to help you.
