<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 586092, member: 5833"]Knotting when there's a large disparity between the holes of the beads is a PITA. You can use only the largest bead cord that fits through the smallest hole, which may not make a single knot larger than the largest hole. When I was in my bead stringing days, I used to solve this by flanking beads with a large hole with inconspicuous smaller beads, even fill them with tiny beads that didn't show at all, & knot them as a cluster. Sometimes resorted to double knotting where a larger knot was needed, but found it hard to get right & you could see it if looking closely. The 'helper' beads worked better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
