Reviews
"GREAT BEADING TOOL!"
"I would go so far to say that if you are new to beading (even if you aren't) this is a must-have item."
"I was expecting a much more flimsy set than what arrived due to a customer's review, but the actual product is a little sturdier."
"The sloped edges of the compartments make it very easy to scoop out small beads and findings."
"I have been making jewelry for over 30 years, and the wasted beads because they roll away...or you find out you were *slightly* off center working on a necklace; acckk."
"only use for measurements to what the necklace size I want to make Till I am able to buy the stretchy type beading I will keep you posted as of now I do friendship necklace beaded with healing stones so I can't give much information ."
"Even though the lid is not secure with the larger beads, it still does offer some protection to keep your project in place."
"My local craft store sells boards without lids but I have a curious little kitty, so I like having a snug fitting lid."

Reviews
"Got it for my wife as a "stocking stuffer" for Christmas."
"If you needed a larger surface, you could hand stitch them together with a goldilock tension, using a good quality sewing thread."
"Tried these in a beading class and loved how it kept the beads from rolling all over the place."
"Love how they keep my beads from rolling off the table!"
"returned, did not fit the tray."
"I was using some craft felt & thought these couldn't be that much better than the felt, but I ended up needing that felt for something else so I broke down & bought these...I was totally wrong - these are sooooooooo much better."
"These mats are soft, cushy and hold my beads in place while I'm working on them."

Best Beading Needles

Dritz Looped Needle Threaders - 6 Count
Size: 6. Use to thread loopers on sergers.
Reviews
"This is a great tool to help you find the eye of your needle."
"These are better than the typical needle threader since it is all one piece (the wires always pull out of the usual style), however it does not fit into the eye of the smaller hand sewing needles (sharps)."
"I am working on an quilt top with a lot of embroidery and appliqué."
"Since having cataract surgery, my vision was corrected for distance, leaving me to wear drug store cheaters for close up work."
"The automatic needle threaders on my sewing machines and serger don't always work so I often just thread them manually."
"I'm pretty much blind when it comes to threading a needle and other threading aids are so small and short."
"Finally a needle threader that doesn't break immediately!"
"Hint: use the package to return them to each time you use them, as they would be difficult to find if they were set down somewhere."

Reviews
"This loom is my new favorite bead loom."
"However, I have to stand up because one beads from in back of the head stock, and in my chair, it's too high."
"Love this loom, however the instructions are lacking and the book that you can buy at an additional cost is not much better."
"A very good loom for making bracelets."
"I am very happy with my Ricks loom."
"Took me a few tries to figure out how to work the loom but it's great!"
"I've made loomed bracelets on a Clover loom with success, but hated the process of weaving in all those warp ends. Unfortunately, you just can't get the tension to be even on all the warps, because when you wrap the thread around the warp bars and try to keep the tension tight (which is necessary for a good weave), the metal warp rods bend inwards (see photo -- notice the curvature versus the straight edge of the "warp separator card")."
"I read and reread directions, watched YouTube videos, and finally called in the family engineer to give it a go, but despite hours of effort we just flat out failed at getting this thing to work."
