Beading thread
Can you please tell me what kind of thread you use to attach your beads? Or may be my beads are to small? Thank you

There are special beading threads for specialty beading projects, but for my small beading needs, I just use cotton embroidery floss. 😃
I'm sorry, I don't understand the last part of your question...are you asking about beading needles, maybe?

Maybe its both.. I have a beading needle; but I can't get my thread thru the eye? and if I use a bigger needle my beads are to small? I'm new to this and a little confused? thank you for getting back to me.

Don't get me started complaining about beading needles! Just one of my complaints about beading. Try a size 26 or 28 tapestry needle...that's the easiest thing to try. Don't have those? I tried 4 different threaders trying to find one with a filament fine enough to fit through the eye of a kit beading needle. Finally tried a collapsible eye beading needle...they work beautifully.
Someone tried to talk me through a method where you lay the thread across the eye and roll the needle, and the needle threads itself. I thought I heard laughter from the bead box. It did not work for me. ☺

Sorry, my keyboard that is some kind of electronic torture device is going nuts...

Do you sell the collapsible eye beading needle?

I'm not much of a beading enthusiast because of my adventures. But I'm game for the small projects. But Mirabilia, while gorgeous, probably won't be in my stash. Still, to not be an enthusiast, I sure have a lot of beading paraphernalia. 😄

Oh, I'm not on the ECS staff or even connected to them! I think I got my collapsible eye needles on Amazon...couldn't tell you for how much. Maybe $4 for 3. But that was a while back and lots of needlecraft is no longer a bargain on there. I'll see if I can find them in my old orders and get back to you. ECS has lots of beading needles, but I don't think they have these...

Don’t think ECS has them. Know Michael’s does (least ours) and of course - Amazon

Beadalon collapsible eye needles... There seem to be lots of styles and prices. Be careful. If you aren't a Prime member, I suggest checking out the free shipping offers. 😊
