]And using a watch made for beading?

she and i are going to talk about that this next weekend, trust me!

]Wait! You started out with the watch in the first picture and then ]came up with the last one? I'm impressed Vicki and I can understand ]why this lady is such a good supporter!

**blush** thank you! she used to be my supervisor. she's the ONLY supervisor i've ever had that i had absolutely NO problem working for. she's always supported me. even when i didn't work for her. unfortunately, she was in the hospital recovering from a really nasty car wreck when i had my final problems at the last job. she's the "Virginia" that Cheryl's seafan was for - and she drove all the way up here for the gem/jewelry show. she's a great source of moral support if i let her know i need it. she's retired, and lives in Sacramento, so i try to go see her whenever i'm down there. sometimes, tho, she overestimates my abilities! and in not wanting to disappoint her, i keep learning -- as fast as i can!

Thunderbird has the little things that make easier to bead. I can't remember what it's called. My catalog is in the car.

maybe i was wrong. you meant the tool for taking the watch pin out?

that would really come in handy, and i'm going to buy one. but that wasn't the problem - - -

the problem is finding some way of covering what are generally ugly pins and there is very little room between the pin and the face of the watch.

Ah - I use softflex wire - that would make a difference!

By going from 4 to 2 to 1 I assume you mean that at the end all threads are running through one bead? You still have 4 ends right?
