Bugle Beads Projects in Beads Issue Ten

In Bead Issue Ten - The Fantabulous Bracelet on pg.58 & The Dagger Bracelet on pg.98 both use bugle beads. Monofilament is recommended but is it ok for me to use Fireline 6lb instead. If not, then where can i get the monofilament? Thanks.

Yasmin, Fireline should be great with bugles. It's much stronger than monofilament, and it's good for sharp edged beads. I haven't seen the bracelet in the magazine, but the finished result may turn out stiffer if you use Fireline.

HTH, Celia

Hi Yasmin! (waving from Derbyshire). Glad you're having fun! Daisy

I used C-Lon for the dagger bracelet in Bead 10. Fireline will be fine.

The dagger bracelet is very flowing and I don't think that FireLine will stiffen it too much.
