Why it is cheaper to buy quality!

Some days ago I read in another beading community the following thing:

A beader complained about "Swaro's" (she meant bicone beads) that are always cutting her thread. A completely beaded piece, she already had sold to a customer was broken several times.  She asked others for help, what she should do, which thread she should use etc.

Of course she got a lot of advice (do you use fireline?, take a double thread, do not use nylon threads...)

Then I asked her.... "You said "Swaro's"... did you really use xilion beads? Or something else?"

... she had used something else... of course! 

For my patterns I can say, there is a pre-xilion time and a xilion time! 

Where I always used protection beads (one seed bead before and after each bicone bead) I now made the experience, that it is no more necessary. 

I no longer have problems with breaking threads or the loss of fringes and beads. The xilion cut is not only making he crystals shine more brilliant, it is also the softening of the beadhole's corners.  

Really.... she wanted to save some money.... and now she payed twice... 

Happy beading time
