What am I doing wrong - my Softflex bracelets stretch!
Hi, Esteemed Beaders.
I've noticed that after several months, many of my bracelets made with Accuflex or Softflex seem stretch - there is space between the crimp and the beads. I'm really careful to make sure that there isn't any space when I crimp, so I wonder where I am going wrong. All advice is appreciated. TIA, e |

When this has happened to me, it has been because my crimping wasn't good
enough and the wire pulled through a little. Tina "Eileen Byrnes" wrote in message ... Hi, Esteemed Beaders.

I have to agree, try using two crimp beads on each end but space them a
little apart between beads. Roxan "Christina Peterson" wrote in message news:1075060029.975940@prawn...

All advice is appreciated. Sometimes they stretch. Well, most of the time they stretch (at least a little). ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry."
