Would this thread be appropriate for applying bugle beads to tulle for a wedding veil. (I'll need to knot it a lot of times.) If not, any suggestions?

It would work well if you get the 4 lb. test. That is fine, but also easy to cut with bugle beads. Standard practice is to use a seed bead on both ends of the stitch to keep the always sharp bugle beads from cutting the thread. That is a problem no matter which type of thread you use. I like to go through the beads twice too.

The beads are interwoven with a monofilament line. From what I can see, it may be a very cumbersome task of keeping the beads from running. Good luck.

You can put beads on it, but I tried knitting it & the knot won't hold tight. It's a rather thick plastic. Hope this helps.

You can use a little bigger but need bigger eye of needle. What size thread do you want to use? Monday phoneme. Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

I dont think its thread that is glittered, its a ring around the circles, very small amt, and very secured. Lol...love this question. I hate glitter too! You are safe with these.

No if using tall slim spool - and laying down not so good because of depth of stationary partitions. There are other boxes designed under Arts, Crafts, and Sewing designed for spools of thread - may want to review those for this pour pose - I am a bead jewelry designer and these work for that purpose.

The thread is very thin and difficult to work with. I could not get it to work in my serger and I can get a lot of different kinds of threads to work in my serger but this thread was a no go no matter what I did with the tension. I would not recommend this thread.

Thank you for contacting Threadart. No, there should not be knots in the thread off the spool.

LOL, you have contacted another bead lover! Actually, I just got out a tube of beads to try in the holder and it works just great! Never thought of it... THANKS :) (I used mine for lipsticks)

Probably yes. The string is a bit thick, so it might form some crystals within the threads.

Hi, I wanted to crochet with it too, but it is like a strong thread rather than cotton yarn. It has a sheen on it like a waxed thread. I didn't end up using it to crochet, but kept it because of their return policy.

I make 200-300 headbands at a time out of 12 and 13 ounce baby rib knit. I also sew lace of all types on tutus. I make hundreds of keyfobs where I sew grosgrain ribbon to 1.25 inch wide x 2.5mm thick heavy duty cotton webbing/belt material. I hope this helps you.

I am not familiar with crocheting, I am sorry I could not answer your question

Yes, it's like a heavy thread, and I haven't used it yet because it wasn't what I needed. I was looking for a heavier twine. It should fuse well though.

I personally didn't have any problems with the thread, so I'm GUESSING it's safety knottd. As for the clasp, mine was easily taken off. My 4 month could take it off. Now I only had my product for a few hours so I hardly got to look at all the details of it. I'm hoping this answer was some what helpful.

I'd bring it to a hardware store and find something that will fit the threads. They're a strange size though, so good luck.

yes, there is a knot between the beads, but it doesn't pull my hair. The silicone is kind of "sticky" and can pull hair, though. Not a Deal-breaker for me, I still love the beads :)
