Do You Use Fishing Line for Beading? 2 Replies

I like to use fishing line such as Fireline for beading and stringing. I find it to be really strong yet flexible. Fireline also has a dark color or an opaque white crystal color which works great…Continue

Comment by Faye Luxemburg-Hyam on June 4, 2011 at 4:19pm: I only use 49 strand braided steel that is coated in .014 or .019 depending on the weight of the piece I am making. For me, the issue is limiting stretching and the drape of my work... with 49 strands you have the best flexibility and a beautiful drape and the best of all, no kinks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tend to avoid using fishing line as I find it stretches and it's so difficult to crimp, I love stainless steel beading wire which gives a neater finish, is easy to crimp and is definitely stronger than fishing line. This necklace is one of my latest stringing projects
