Hi, Esteemed Beaders.
I've noticed that after several months, many of my bracelets made with Accuflex or Softflex seem stretch - there is space between the crimp and the beads. I'm really careful to make sure that there isn't any space when I crimp, so I wonder where I am going wrong. All advice is appreciated.
TIA, e
When this has happened to me, it has been because my crimping wasn't good enough and the wire pulled through a little.

According to the Softflex website, Sooz is right, SoftFlex will stretch a small amount. I've heard of people prepping SoftFlex for use by hanging it overnight with a small weight attached, to pre-stretch it as much as possible.
