Tips for even

Master beader Nancy Cain has a
secret she loves to share: Row three
of peyote is all about the tension,
and the tension is all about the tail
thread. In row three, beaders tend
to relax the thread by letting it go,
perhaps after adding a stop bead,
and that allows the tension to loosen,
Cain says. “When peyote twists and
the beads rotate to the inside, when
you don’t have enough back tension,
you are weaving under the base

that thread path to the inside,”
