Did I miss something? What kind of cord do you have 600 yards of coming? 
That wasn't clear.

Next year's thoughts on this type of class.  I will have to check out this
cord on the bead projects.  Min recommended it and I have 600  yards coming
in of this.  So we all will be trying it.  Unless I find something I like
better in the next week.

Don't try to use the cord, sold where the plastic canvas is.  It works fine
for plastic canvas, since the end is berried under other stitches, but the
end ravels badly!

I don't know.  I don't like the gimp they are selling at this point in time.
Very hard to work with.  Maybe I will play with some cord and see what I
come up with, but not until the first of the year.

I guess you could say I was braiding it when I made the ones that go around
your neck.  Since I used 6 strands on that I would hold 2 strands in the
center and braid the other 4 around those 2 strands, but when I got to the
back of the neck area I would weave all 6 so it was a flat area on the back
of the neck.  Then you had to go back to the stitch holding the 2 strands in
the center. When you got it long enough then with the 6 d stitch.  By doing
that with 6 strands you got a type of corkscrew and you worked the other end
of the part that goes around your neck.  By working the opposite end into
this stitch it made it so you could loosen it to take it off or just pull
over your hed.

Yes, it is plastic and they make key chains out of it.  Going back years it
had a tougher feel to it and it was not as plastic feeling.  It wasknot as
slippery.

I use to go up to the play ground every day during the summer and work on
these all day long.  I won a few crafting contests in town with my Gimpe
work.

I drove them all crazy by adding more strands then the usual 4.  I remember
the 12 strand corkscrew, that took a prize.

Joyce one.

We up at Girl Scout Camp used gimp , but that is perfect thickness, width,
but it is slippery to tie a knot in it at the end of the project.  At least
with the ribbon you can add a little tacky glue to secure it.

Joyce,

Another thing I have is some clear (actually glow in the dark by accident)
of plastic lace I think it may be called. That may work too. I'm gonna try
it. But, thanks for the tips. I was just wondering if there was something
better or what folks normally use.

Greg,

I have gotten the beads for the kits I am selling.  I had ordered narrow
grosgrain ribbon, but it is too thick and I have used other things, but it
does show on the outer edge of each row, so color is a consideration.

The hole in the beads are 4 mm  so you nead something thinner then 1/4'
wide.  They do have grosgraine ribbon out there 1/8" wide, but not a large
color choice.  I have several more pony bead classes planned for September &
October and I will be looking for 1/4" ribbon grosgrain, but not sure if
that will work well.  I was hoping to find the grosgrain as that has a
little more thickness to push through the beads.

If all else fails I will use my stand by curling ribbon and advise folks to
get and use #16 blundt tip needle[plastic canvas needles]  This ribbon will
fit in the eye of this needle.

If you plan on making a few of these progects you can pick the ribbon up at
a card shop in any color you can imagine.  Be sure to get the I think it is
3/16"  size.  You can find this ribbon in large cones, too.

What is a good material for general pony bead projects? I know that you can
use ribbon for example, but I want something that will work for a lot of
projects and not have a rainbow of colors or do I really need that?
