Right Angle Weave Instructions + 5 Free Right Angle Weave Patterns

Beading Daily has released a FREE instructional book, with 5 Free beading patterns for the Right Angle Weave.

Right-angle weave is a love-it-or-hate-it-beading stitch in the beading world. But it definitely has its advantages when it comes to creating durable and beautiful beaded jewelry. The thread path of right-angle weave is unique in that it goes in little circles as you work across each row or around in a tube. It’s this thread path that makes it such a strong and flexible bead-weaving stitch – you can even use it to create a right-angle weave beaded “fabric” that can be folded and stitched.

That thread path also gives right-angle weave more fluidity than other beading stitches making it an ultra-versatile stitch. Working in this stitch creates a beaded fabric that behaves a lot like a fabric woven with threads. It can be shaped easily without complicated increases and decreases in your stitching and it is just as easy to embellish for one-of-a-kind designs. This free eBook from Beading Daily will take you from the ordinary and refine your skills at this superhero of bead-weaving stitches so you can do just about anything with any kind of beads that you have handy!

A FABULOUS DAY OF BEADING

Carol Cypher's classes were absolutely wonderful. 
Those who missed the day, really did miss out on a fabulous opportunity.  Those who attended will not hesitate to tell you just how wonderfully generous Carol is with both her time, information and supplies.  I for one, am completely converted and addicted to beading, and can't wait to have Carol back in Australia and definitely spending more than just one day at Crafty Frog.

In the morning Carol introduced, and in some instances re-taught, Polygon stitch.  This delightful stitch, combined with a stunning Rivoli, lovely beads (easily obtainable beads at that), and her gentle and very patient nature meant that all left with the ingredients and knowledge required to finish this wonderful bracelet.  I am looking forward to seeing all the participants wearing their amazing jewellery.

In the afternoon (and again in the evening), Carol taught us a fabulous double-needle method of right-angle weave, and more importantly a fabulous mantra to help those of us who were previously terrified of beading, to remember just what we were supposed to be doing!!  The end result of that class was a shiny piece of jewellery sure to bedazzle all who see it!  Do you get the feeling I was and am totally hooked and besotted?  If you couldn't make then you have truly missed out on a fabulous event ;-)

I look forward to welcoming Carol back here and to having more exciting classes at Crafty Frog.  As a special treat I have included two videos of Carol teaching a beading technique.  This will give you some idea of how absolutely fabulous she is, and maybe next time you can get a chance to meet Carol in person.
