Jewelry makers and retailers see different beading threads on market, but not all of them know these threads clearly. What are beading threads? Beading threads are thin, strong fiber line used to stitch beads together in bead-weaving projects. They are stronger than sewing threads, and synthetic beading threads are best suited to bead-weaving projects because they are less prone to fraying.

Different beading threads have different strengths, flexibility and width. Choose the right beading thread for your beading design is essential. How to choose correct beading threads for designs? This is an age-old question which stumps many beginners of jewelry making as well as some more experienced jewelry makers. We all know that there are countless quality threads and cords on today’s fashion jewelry market, so that we need to know which thread is strong, and suitable for heavy beads and findings to make heavy jewelry; which thread is soft, and suitable for pearls and etc. And if you want to knot long, stone bead necklaces, nylon thread will be good choice. When you choose beading threads for your designs, you also need to consider their sizes. The thread is too small or too large will affect the final effects of your design. Some people may confused by the units of size—millimeter and gauge. About millimeter, the large the number, the large the size, and gauge is on the contrary. About choosing their colors, it depends on your jewelry design, including the combination of colors, peculiarity of jewelry beads and etc.
At last, I want to remind the beginners of jewelry making as well as some experienced designers that don’t confuse beading threads and beading cords. Beading cords are thicker than beading threads, and commonly used for stringing, knotting. No matter what kind of beading thread you need, you can easily find them on market. But I would like to say that if you want to get a wide range of selection for these threads at cheap prices, you can purchase them from reliable jewelry beads online wholesalers, just like PandaHall.com
