[Nfb-krafters-korner] stretch bracelet help needed

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I am finding my chord catching on my last bead, especually if it is smaller than the rest.  The knot expands and before it fully closes, a bead catches in the knot.

Any help, please.  I love beading but not knotting!

Terry P.

Hi. That's where the pulling comes into play. You're not pulling it tight enough. I just do a standard knot, just over and under. I guess they call it a granny knot.
