How do I Peyote stitch??

I really want to learn how to peyote stitch.All of the instructions I have searched confuse me! Does anyone have any instructions that you think will be a little less confusing? Or if you do do you have any suggestions for beading patterns??
Also what kind of string do you prefer to use when worknig with bead needlework patterns??

I have done the Peyote stitch. It is quite easy once you get the first row started. For starters, try using a large flat seed bead, they will lay better and you’ll be able to see your pattern easier.

I like using fishing line, yes, fishing line you buy at a sports shop. The 8 lb. weight is sufficient to do a multitude of beading work. I use the transparent line because it fades into the beading work.

You might be like me, must see, rather than read instructions on how to do a particular stitch. I was a class coordinator at large arts & craft chain store. (They wouldn’t ever offer such a highly artistic class such as that. It’s not made for the masses.) The Peyote stitch is not something that ordinarily would be taught to the general public. It is usually done by beaders who seek a little more complicated, sophisticated look to their work. I have learned a few beading stitches from a beading guild in my local area. Go to an independent bead store and ask if there is a local beading guild. Also ask them if they have an experienced beader that will teach the peyote
stitch.

Good luck, don’t despair, you’re only 1.5 hours away of learning after being shown!
